Reddit user Gluetendo has stumbled upon an interesting glitch in Smash Bros. Wii U. By taking advantage of it, it’s possible to control eight characters at once.

Here are the full steps, as described by Gluetendo:

• Have 8 amiibo.
• Use a controller that can “desync” (a GameCube controller preferably).
• Go to the 8-Player Smash mode.
• Just move your joystick until the “Player #” or port space pops up.
• Click the name part of your port until it says “None”.
• Remove your controller from the port or desync it.
• Scan your amiibo.
• Plug everything back in.
• Move your joystick again and now you will be the Player in the next available space after your scanned amiibo. Nothing out of the ordinary, but trust me, it’s working.
• Repeat Steps 5-9 until all the Player spaces are filled with the 8 amiibo.
• Go to the Settings (where Time or Stock and Item rules are). Then simply exit.
• Enjoy controlling 8 characters simultaneously

If you’d like to see the glitch working, give the video below a look.

This week’s Japanese sales numbers include two big milestones for Nintendo. One is all about hardware, and another applies to one specific game.

First, 3DS has sold over 20 million units in Japan. It’s also important to mention that Splatoon has now sold over 1 million copies in the territory. The game likely already reached that number with digital copies included, though Famitsu’s data officially confirms the figure with physical units. It’s a nice way for Nintendo to close out the year!

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD has gone in and out of stock on Amazon a couple of times since pre-orders went up a little over a month ago. It’s now back up again with orders being accepted here. I’ll try to keep an eye on the listing and will update this post if it disappears once more!

Thanks to Jake for the tip.

Last week, Super Mario Maker received its 1.30 update. This added some new elements and compatibility with the Bookmark portal site. Today, Nintendo has followed that up with another small patch.

Super Mario Maker’s 1.31 update is now available to download. You can grab it by booting up the game, or wait for it to be downloaded automatically.

Given the small increase in the version number, there’s not too much behind today’s update. Nintendo says some problems have been fixed so that the game can be played more comfortably.

298MB of free space is required to download the update.
