Along with today’s screenshot, Sakurai passed along the following message on Miiverse:

Some stages have been shrunk down and made into trophies, like this one of Tortimer Island for the 3DS version. I wish I could have a figurine like this in real life.

I’ve come to realize that trying to operate the Wii U while recording is pretty tough. Hopefully this turned out fairly okay though!

Nintendo has released a major system update for Wii U, bringing the firmware version up to 5.0.0.

One of the major features introduced in today’s update is the quick start menu. Players can now more easily begin playing games without having to encounter the menu screen.

Other changes/additions include new GamePad Alerts that can be displayed on the GamePad when the Wii U is turned off, the ability to install system updates after they’re finished downloading while the console is in Standby, and more.

You can find the full update notes from Nintendo below.

Nintendo will be hosting something called the “Tomodachi Life Hangout” on its YouTube channel later this week. It seems as though things will be kicking off on Friday, so hit up the stream above once it’s live.

The Tomodachi Life Hangout appears to be a simple chat hosted by Nintendo of America assistant PR manager Krysta Yang, who will be joined by a few panelists to discuss the game.

Thanks to TruExtent for the tip.

Update: Here’s a quote from Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime, for what it’s worth!

“The early response to Mario Kart 8 demonstrates that the best days for Wii U are still ahead. This year’s E3 is just days away, and it will be all about the future games for Nintendo platforms. This milestone is a great place to start!”

In its first weekend, Mario Kart 8 managed to sell more than 1.2 million units worldwide, Nintendo has announced. That number applies to The Americas, Europe, and Japan from May 29 to June 1.

Nintendo of Europe president Satoru Shibata said:

“Such positive early feedback for Mario Kart 8 reinforces the great gameplay experiences that Wii U currently offers. With Nintendo set to showcase its future releases at E3 next week, this is a great milestone going into the summer season.”

Along with today’s announcement, Nintendo shared sales figures for previous Mario Kart entries. The seven older Mario Kart games have combined to sell more than 100 million total units, an average of more than 14 million units per title.
