Just like the game itself, Nintendo has updated the Super Mario Maker Bookmark site. It’s now possible to filter levels by difficulty. The options include “Easy”, “Normal”, “Expert”, and “Super Expert”.

If you play Super Mario Maker and have yet to give the Bookmark site a look, you can do so here. It’s extremely useful since you can search for courses, save them for later, and then easily access them on Wii U.

Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 10 Comments

Splatoon’s latest North American Splatfest has drawn to a close. After a day of battling, we now know the winning side of the past vs. future theme.

Team Future was much more popular than Team Past having received 61 percent of the vote. However, since the past side had more wins (55 percent), that led them to victory. The final score was 369 points for Team Past and 331 points for Team Future.

Pokken Tournament website mentions “My Town”

Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 10 Comments

Nintendo and The Pokemon Company announced on Friday that Pokken Tournament is releasing on March 18 in the west. That news was accompanied by the launch of an official website, located here.

There’s not too much to see on the site currently. You can get a look at the different characters included in the game, but that’s pretty much it.

However, upon further inspection of the page, there are grayed out options in the menu like “Game Modes” and “amiibo Card”. There’s also something called “My Town”. I don’t believe we’ve heard about this before. What might it be?

Thanks to FoxTheBlox for the tip.
