Digital Foundry’s latest technical analysis is dedicated to Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS. The site put together a comparison of the two games as well as some frame rate tests – all of which can be found below.

Later this month, the Animal Crossing Plaza service will be coming to a close. Nintendo is planning on removing the software from the eShop after December 22.

While time is running out on Animal Crossing Plaza, it sounds like there could still be some exciting things in the works for Animal Crossing overall. Well, maybe. An official message posted on Miiverse makes note of how news will be posted to the Animal Crossing News Community in 2015.

Here’s the full post from Nintendo’s Aya Kyogoku:
