Last month, Takashi Tezuka said that the White Tanooki Suit would be available in New Super Mario Bros. 2. Famitsu has a reconfirmation of this fact in its latest issue.

Dying in a level five times will bring about the Assist Block. Hit the block and you’ll be provided the Invincibility Leaf, granting you the White Tanooki Suit.

Other power-ups reconfirmed in Famitsu include the Mega Mushroom and Mini Mushroom. These items will have the same functions as in previous games.

GameStop Italy’s Wii U games list includes F1 Race Stars, Warriors Orochi 3

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii U | 0 comments

GameStop Italy has offered up its own Wii U games lineup along with launch information. I’m sure that the pricing isn’t correct, nor are the release dates.

But without further ado…

Wii U console bianca : € 399 – 07/12/12
Ben10 Omniverse : € 54.98 – 29/11/12
F1 Race Stars : € 54.98 – 29/11/12
Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge : € 59.98 – 29/11/12
PES 13 : € 59.98 – 15/02/13
Rise of the Guardians : € 54.98 – 21/11/12
Sonic & All-Star Racing Transformed: € 59.98 – 30/11/12
Sport Island 12 : € 59.98 – 30/12/12
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 : € 54.98 – 29/11/12
Warriors Orochi 3 : € 59.98 – 30/11/12

Some of these games we know about while others are possible or completely random. I don’t believe Codemasters has announced “F1 Race Stars”, and Warriors Orochi 3 hasn’t been confirmed for Wii U.

Like I always say, it’s best to carry a bit of skepticism with retailer listings. Even though some of these games could certainly come to the Wii U, we probably shouldn’t make any assumptions unless official announcements are made.
