Strangely, pretty much all of the Wii U’s menu music has been posted on YouTube. Below you’ll find the piece for the console’s home menu. Below there is music for the Mii Studio, boot up, account creation, and more.
Fan painting pays tribute to Nintendo Power

Bry Sharland isn’t pleased that Nintendo Power will soon be shutting down. Actually, he tells us that he’s been “depressed” over its imminent closure.
In hopes of paying tribute to the magazine, Bry has been working on a painting since August while being involved with two jobs. It features some of Nintendo’s most popular characters as well as Nester – one of Nintendo Power’s older mascots.
Props to Bry for making this painting. There’s no way we could have made something like this!
Charles Martinet pops up on Australian news channel

You never know where you’ll find the voice of Mario. In this case, Charles Martinet just so happened to appear on an Australian news channel.
Martinet was ready to head home following his appearance at the Australian EB Expo. But strangely, Melbourne Airport came across a “suspicious package”, and Martinet (as well as other passengers) saw his flight delay as the situation was investigated. It was fortunately nothing but a false alarm.
Channel Seven News did stop by to ask a few folks for their thoughts. As it turns out, Martinet appeared on the segment for a tiny bit.
Martinet’s appearance comes early on in the video above, and it’s not very long, so watch closely.
Martinet also wrote the following about the video:
“I did a whole bunch in Mario voice! But they just used the one sentence… I said ‘Australia is numba one!!!!’… the reporter and camera guy were great… but I think their producer just wanted a short thing. Too bad!”

Jerry Lambert (the actor behind Sony’s “Kevin Butler”) seen in an ad promoting the Wii

Perhaps my favorite thing that exists in the world is irony, and while I know this story doesn’t actually “mean” anything tangible, it has about as much of the stuff as you could cram into anything particularly related to video games. Why? The actor portraying Sony’s great marketing icon “Kevin Butler” is appearing in a Bridgestone advertisement that contains a tie-in with the Wii.
It’s not clear to me whether this is a contest or a promotion or something less significant, but it is- for what it’s worth- ironic.
