Two new Super Mario Maker courses have gone live. After completing the latest NES Remix levels in Event Courses, players can unlock the Birdo and Excitebike costumes.

Below are overviews of the official courses:

NES Remix (Excitebike)

“In the NES Remix series, a variety of classic Nintendo Entertainment Sysgtem games are given a new lease on life. This time, we’ve picked the Excitebike stage to recreate in Super Mario Maker! Hold the dash button and right on the +Control Pad from the moment the course begins to replicate the authentic motocross experience.”

NES Remix (Super Mario Bros. 2)

“In the NES Remix series, a variety of classic Nintendo Entertainment System games are given a new lease on life. This time, we’ve picked the Super Mario Bros. 2 stages to recreate! If you’ve played the original game, you’ll recognize many of the locations and elements. In true NES Remix style, it’s all very familiar, yet somehow a little different.”

And gameplay of each:

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.
