We just received a new photo upload from one of our junior field researchers! From the looks of it, this appears to be a floating oil rig. The open area on top sure looks like a good place to battle it out, but…it seems like a lot of work getting out here in the middle of the ocean just to throw down on a cool location. Just saying.

Time is quickly running out on one of the Club Nintendo promotions for Super Smash Bros. on Wii U/3DS. If you haven’t already registered your games, be sure to do that before tomorrow ends – otherwise you won’t receive your soundtrack CD. The CD will ship sometime in March.

Those who partake in the Club Nintendo promotion will receive two bonuses. Along with the soundtrack CD, players will be provided with free Mewtwo DLC this spring.

You can find more information on the official page here.

Has Totaka’s Song been found in Mario Kart 8? Apparently so! It seems that a Yoshi NPC sings the song on multiple tracks – see the video above for an example.
