Posted on 11 years ago by Kirara Koneko(@KiraraKoneko) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Launching today are two new sites for Nintendo, one focused on children, and the other an online magazine targeting kids, teens, and adults alike.
Here is the latest PR statement from Nintendo UK:
12th November 2014 – Extra, extra, read all about Nintendo! Hot off the press, and published via the Nintendo website today comes two new online offerings giving fans of all ages the chance to get the lowdown and interact with their favourite Nintendo characters and series.
Offering younger fans the chance to enjoy playing with famous Nintendo characters including Mario, Luigi, Yoshi and Peach, Nintendo Kids Club is a new website that offers a host of content including fun puzzles, Nintendo-themed artworks to cut out, create and decorate, and top trivia on much-loved characters. The Nintendo Kids Club will also play host to present and future episodes of the puppet-based video series ‘The Cat Mario Show’, providing yet more free content for kids to tune into.
Meanwhile, for fans of all ages looking for useful gaming tips, exclusive Wii U and Nintendo 3DS game content, and fancy the odd Nintendo-themed challenge to boot, issue one of a new online magazine, Nintendo Extra, has been unveiled today. From picking up some handy pointers for reigning victorious in Mario Kart 8, to learning from none other than Eiji Aonuma himself about the fundamentals of a The Legend of Zelda game, Nintendo Extra kicks off with a bang, with further issues to be published in the coming months.

Back in August, Nintendo teamed up with Mercedes-Benz for the release of free Mario Kart 8 DLC. The original announcement was accompanied by a rather strange commercial. If you missed it, feel free to check out the video right here.
Mercedes-Benz is back with another two Mario/Mario Kart 8-related commercials that are being used to promote the GLA class model. You’ll find both below. One is for Luigi, whereas the other is for Peach.

Reggie says Smash Bros. Wii U pre-orders are higher than Mario Kart 8
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 15 Comments
Pre-orders for the Wii U version of Super Smash Bros. have exceeded those of Mario Kart 8, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime has revealed. Reservations thus far have managed to set a record for Wii U.
Fils-Aime told Bloomberg News:
“The launch of Mario Kart 8 has essentially doubled our Wii U sales year-on-year. Presales for Smash are stronger than the presales for Kart. So our expectation is that the sell-through for Smash is going to be very strong, certainly on par with what we saw with Mario Kart 8. We think the impact on hardware will be similarly dramatic.”
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U launches on November 21 in North America.
