Today’s Wii U commercial is just the start of Nintendo’s television advertising. What we posted is apparently “a compilation of pieces that will run”, IGN’s Rich George suggests.

Nintendo will also be debuting the commercial for one of its first Wii U games tomorrow, New Super Mario Bros. U. We’ll have that on the site in the afternoon.

Did you know that Crashmo lets players take-in game screenshots? The process is quite simple.

While playing, simply pause the game and press “X”. That’s all there is to it! As soon as you’ve done this, a photo will be saved to an SD card.

While I wouldn’t be at all surprised, an Ubisoft product manager seems to have revealed that the Gamepad can output in 3D. At an AC3 press event, they said that Assassin’s Creed III would support the functionality on both the television screen (if you have a 3D TV) and the Gamepad screen, making for a “dual-screen” 3D experience.

Of course, we’ve heard no comment on the matter since then from either Ubisoft or Nintendo, but given that the console itself supports the feature on the television, one would assume that it also supports it on the Gamepad. We can hope.

– Early concepts included allowing players to dig for “gold dust”
– The ability to build outdoor scenery (bridges, benches, etc) was one of the very early ideas
– The addition of being able to play as Mayor didn’t come until later
– Because of this, they had to force Tortimer to retire
– Reiteration: Tweak store hours, gather taxes (donations) from residents
– If you do a bad job as mayor, no one will complain
– Tutorial ceremonies for opening your first bridge, planting your first tree, etc etc
– Mr. Resetti’s terrifying image was discussed
– Lisa is an alpaca, Reiji is a sloth, and a tapir (who runs the Dream Emporium)
– 1.5x the number of items compared to City Folk
– Team hopes that players don’t consider the new items filler
– Upload your town data to the Dream Emporium so others can come visit whether they have your friend code or not
– Players cannot modify your town if they visit while you’re not there
– Two categories of friends: Regular pals and “best friends”
– Each category has special permissions in different towns, assumedly with “best friends” being able to modify things
– Region-specific items (plate of grapes for the Spanish New Year)
