Nintendo first launched the Wii U in North America on November 18, 2012. You know what that means! Yup – the Wii U is now two years old. Happy birthday, Wii U!

What were your first Wii U memories like? Mine weren’t as exciting compared to when I went out to purchase the Wii and stood on line at Best Buy for several hours. I reserved the 32GB console at GameStop, but since there were no midnight launches, I simply picked up the console in the morning. Still, playing Nintendo Land was a lot of fun!

All Japanese New 3DS systems come with an Internet filter. When using the web browser, inappropriate content is filtered automatically.

The situation is quite different in Australia. There’s absolutely no filter to speak of, meaning all sites are fully accessible. I imagine the New 3DS will operate in a similar fashion once it reaches North America and Europe.

Super Smash Bros. for 3DS’s latest 1.0.4 update is now live, taking up 859 blocks of  system memory in Europe and only 658 in North America. The update will block access to all replays / multiplayer with users on 1.0.3 and earlier and supposedly has some balance tweaks, though no official changelog has been released from Nintendo. All that there is to do is give the update a download and try things out for yourself!
