A look at the Game & Watch, Duck Hunt amiibo in Smash Bros.
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Videos, Wii U | 0 comments
Remember: every single character in Super Smash Bros. should be getting its own amiibo, so it shouldn’t come as a major surprise that we’re able to see some roster inclusions that don’t have figures yet. Of course, the only way to get access to amiibo like Game & Watch and Duck Hunt is by manipulating the game.

Well, this isn’t good! Smash Bros. fans have managed to find an exploit that allows a team of two Pac-Man players to essentially become untouchable during matches. It’s done with the trampoline move, in which they bounce one another up into the sky. View a video of the exploit above.

Here’s an interesting piece of Hyrule Warriors concept art
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 1 Comment
We’ve posted shots from the Hyrule Warriors art book before, but Destructoid has picked out design that looks particularly interesting. It’s not entirely clear what’s going on, though it seems like Link is cutting off a Bulblin’s arm. The woman in the design was featured in at least one more piece of finished art.

Sakurai on Wii Fit Trainer and Villager’s inclusion in Smash Bros., chose order of character announcements
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 4 Comments
Super Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai recently spoke about the inclusion of the Wii Fit Trainer in the new Wii U and 3DS entries.
Sakurai’s words come from the latest issue of Japanese issue Nintendo Dream. You’ll find our translation of the excerpt below.
ND: Not only guest characters were shocking, but Wii Fit Trainer as well. It was a character no one saw coming, right?
MS: Yes, that’s right. Zero, none… (laughs)

Dolphin emulator now supports Wii U’s GameCube Controller Adapter
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in GameCube, News, Wii U | 4 Comments
The well-known Dolphin emulator now features functionality for Wii U’s GameCube Controller Adapter. There’s native support, meaning Dolphin will auto-detect the accessory once users set everything up.
Arguably the best aspect of today’s news is that the GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii U allows for 1:1 joystick input. Players no longer need to deal with strange deadzones or messed up L/R triggers.
