A few days ago, Twitter user Random Talking Bush posted a whole bunch of images showing unused content from Yoshi’s Woolly World. He’s also now posted a video of a level that didn’t make it into the final game. It seems to be the same level used at one point in development back when it was known as Yarn Yoshi, but there are a few changes.

Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 17 Comments
Just like the game itself, Nintendo has updated the Super Mario Maker Bookmark site. It’s now possible to filter levels by difficulty. The options include “Easy”, “Normal”, “Expert”, and “Super Expert”.
If you play Super Mario Maker and have yet to give the Bookmark site a look, you can do so here. It’s extremely useful since you can search for courses, save them for later, and then easily access them on Wii U.

Famitsu giving out exclusive Ghirahim fairy outfit for Hyrule Warriors Legends
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 3 Comments
One of the new elements in Hyrule Warriors Legends is the “My Fairy” system. Fairies are like partners during the game. If you befriend one, it’ll assist you in battle through its special attributes.
In next week’s issue of Famitsu, a download code will be included for players to obtain an exclusive costume. This apparently cannot be acquired through other means. As for the costume itself, it’s based on Ghirahim. It comes with a special skill that increases fairy magic effects, so it might be useful in high difficulty stages.

Pokken Tournament website mentions “My Town”
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 10 Comments
Nintendo and The Pokemon Company announced on Friday that Pokken Tournament is releasing on March 18 in the west. That news was accompanied by the launch of an official website, located here.
There’s not too much to see on the site currently. You can get a look at the different characters included in the game, but that’s pretty much it.
However, upon further inspection of the page, there are grayed out options in the menu like “Game Modes” and “amiibo Card”. There’s also something called “My Town”. I don’t believe we’ve heard about this before. What might it be?
Thanks to FoxTheBlox for the tip.
