There will be some sort of DLC in New Super Mario Bros. U, it seems. Under ‘Nintendo Network’ features, downloadable content is listed (presumably on the boxart).

We’re not entirely clear what’s being referred to here. Is this free content? Paid content?

If it’s the latter, NSMBU wouldn’t be the first Mario game to receive DLC. New Super Mario Bros. 2 has already churned out a few extra levels that users can pay for.

Interabang Entertainment, the studio behind the upcoming indie game Super Comboman, has been talking with Nintendo this week. What does that mean, exactly?

Now that the two sides have been in communication, there’s a chance that Super Comboman could head to the Wii U eShop. Nothing is set in stone though, and all consoles are under consideration.

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Nintendo has revealed additional details about SiNG PARTY, the new singing-and-dancing game for Wii U that turns living rooms into concert venues. The game will launch alongside the Wii U console on Nov. 18 at a suggested retail price of $59.99, and includes a microphone.

The game includes a wide variety of music from many different genres and eras, with a primary focus on creating the best party atmosphere for both singing and dancing.

According to Broken Rules, Chasing Aurora’s “Hide & Seek” mode offers the following:

“Communication is key – in Hide and Seek, the team is up against the Wii U GamePad player, who steers the Golden Bird on the Wii U GamePad. It is the Golden Bird’s task to hide from all the other players until the time runs out. The team, on the other hand, has to find the Golden Bird and snatch away Aurora’s Gem it is carrying.”

Friend Codes are now a thing of the past. Wii U won’t be using those long digits in connecting with friends online.

A Nintendo spokesperson confirmed that the ID you create from the account system will be taking the place of Friend Codes:

“Our plan is to replace Friend Codes with a much more user-friendly Account ID system, which employs user-created account names.”

Technically Friend Codes are still around because of the 3DS. With Nintendo’s next handheld system though, I’m sure they’ll be gone for good.
