Mini Mario & Friends amiibo Challenge was made available to consumers in Japan starting this week. If you purchase a figure, you can receive a code to download the game on Wii U and 3DS. We finally have some extensive footage – check it out below.

With Word Puzzles by POWGI hitting Wii U and 3DS in Europe this week, Lightwood Games put together a video explaining how amiibo works in the game. Check it out below.

Several new games out came out this week on the Wii U and 3DS eShops. If you’re interested in checking out what’s new in screenshot form, take a peak at the gallery below.

This week’s Nintendo Minute has gone live. In today’s episode, Kit and Krysta give Shovel Knight another look now that amiibo support is here. We’ve gone ahead and posted the video below.

The official website for Great Detective Pikachu: Birth of a New Duo has updated with details on the world and gameplay, as well as a host of new screenshots. The details have been translated by Serebii.

Gameplay revolves around exploring Rhyme City as protagonist Tim Goodman and his partner, Pikachu. Tim is able to interview humans to solve mysteries, while Pikachu interviews Pokémon. The player can also look around specific spots for evidence. Pikachu will sometimes notice details and offer hints or advice. The game also features quick-time events, although these do not seem to affect player progress.

The website has also given numerous details on the characters and world. Pikachu, for example, is able to talk but, because of this, cannot use normal Pokémon moves. Other new characters are also introduced. Mike Baker is the head of the detective agency. Amanda Blackstone is his assistant. Amelia Kristi is a new Assistant Director at a TV Station, and Meiko Okamoto is a TV Director. Pablo Milan is the owner of the High Hat Cafe.

Below are all the new screenshots that were added.
