Wii U

Update: Bumped to the top with another comparison:


NintendoWorldReport compiled a brief video comparing Mewtwo in Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS. The short clip is posted below.

Some Smash Bros. players on Wii U are experiencing issues playing the game online after obtaining today’s Mewtwo DLC.

The issue comes about for those who have cleared 10-Man Smash with all characters and then beating it again with Mewtwo. After doing so, they encounter a corruption of save data, which resets the overall GPS for the mini-game to zero. When these players attempt to play online, they receive the message: “You have been disconnected because of irregular save data.”

Players will just need to be patient while Nintendo comes up with a fix. Fortunately, this problem only appears to be affecting the Wii U version of Smash Bros., so the 3DS edition should be safe.

IGN has a few more videos of next week’s Mario Kart 8 DLC. As usual, we’ve posted them below. We’ve shared a ton of DLC videos at this point, so this will probably be the last post with footage for awhile!


Nintendo didn’t provide a whole lot of details about today’s Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS update. In terms of balancing, it was only said that adjustments were made “for a more pleasant gaming experience.”

Even though Nintendo is keeping quiet, fans are certainly not. There’s already quite a few details out there about balance changes in particular. If you’re interested in learning about all of the modifications uncovered thus far, read on below.

We’re not done with Mario Kart 8 videos just yet! A new one from GameSpot compares 150cc and 200cc on Toad’s Turnpike, which we’ve posted below.

Head past the break for footage from the Bell Cup and Crossing Cup.

Eurogamer has put together another video comparing the Mario Kart 8 Baby Park track to the GameCube original. View it below.

One of the new Mario Kart 8 DLC tracks appears to have a reference to the Kung Fu Panda movie. You’ll notice that just before the race kicks off, there’s a poster on the wall of Lakitu – complete with the “Kung Fu Lakitu” name. Pretty neat, right?

Here’s a look at the Easter egg in video form:
