A few days ago, the first review of Nintendo Land arrived from the latest issue of GamesMaster. The publication handed out an 86% score.

Along with the review of the overall game, GamesMaster provided individual write-ups and ratings for each mini-game included in Nintendo Land. Reader joclo typed up that information from the magazine – see below.

Animal Crossing Sweet Day – 5/5

“Sweet Day may look like it’s saccharine simplicity – but there’s a raw tactical edge beneath the happy smiles.”

The Legend of Zelda Battle Quest – 3/5

“Battle Quest isn’t as patchwork as the art-style would suggest…”

Tank! Tank! Tank! originally had a vague November 2012 launch period for North America. A more concrete release date has now been handed out. Namco Bandai’s arcade port can officially be expected for the Wii U’s launch.

Reading through the press release for Nintendo’s “Nintendo World Store Launch Event Bonanza (feat. Reggie)” (paraphrased title), I came across a couple of pretty interesting tidbits. If you weren’t planning on going to the event, you may want to reconsider in light of these minor details:

– NoA president Reggie Fils-Aimee will be there, and he’ll sell the first person in line the very first Wii U
– Prizes and swag will be given away to people waiting in line
– Limited edition T-shirts will be sold, with all proceeds going to the American Red Cross

Sounds like quite the event to me! Unfortunately you won’t be able to get the very first Wii U since legendary queue-er Isaiah “Triforce” Johnson is already waiting, but you might be able to see Reggie and get a great t-shirt! Someone tell Valay to get his butt down there!

Likelihood? Very likely.

It seems likely in and of itself, but the first unofficial confirmation that the Wii U version of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 will support downloadable content is coming from a Youtube user who claims to have gotten a copy of the game early. Sure, he’s unable to play it, but he says that the back of the box notes support for “add-on content”, as well as leaderboards, voice chat, and online multiplayer.

One thing is doesn’t support, once again according to this Youtuber, is the bonus map “Nuketown 2025”, which PS360/PC users get if they buy the game on day one. At least, it doesn’t make mention of it on the box.

I’m not so sure either of these would be a shock to anyone– in fact I think we’d be more surprised at a lack thereof with DLC– but it’s nice to have SOME sort of confirmation.

In other news, that Wii U box looks nice. I love the blue. :9

When playing the Wii U for the first time, you should be aware of the console’s “automatic shutoff” feature. This appears to be enabled from the start.

If you don’t adjust the setting, your Wii U will turn off “if there has been no input for a set period of time” – including pause time while playing a game. It’s automatically set to shut down after an hour, it seems.

You can change the setting in the system options. It’s possible to turn it off completely, or adjust the amount of “idle time” before the system shuts down.
