Buy Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker from Nintendo UK store, get a keychain
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 1 Comment
Those who purchase Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker from the Nintendo UK store will receive a special gift. Orders will come with a keychain featuring Toad himself. Since Nintendo doesn’t explicitly say “pre-order” in its tweet, I assume that some consumers will be able to nab the keychain if they purchase Captain Toad after launch as well.
#NintendoUKStore orders of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker come with this free keychain! Yay! http://t.co/5tZ3uJ9r59 pic.twitter.com/mGZPvJ6t5C

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Over the top. Breathtaking. Out of control. Stylish. Critically acclaimed. Any of these words can be used to describe the Bayonetta 2 game, the latest action classic from PlatinumGames, launching exclusively for the Wii U console on Oct. 24. Fans of the original Bayonetta game know that the series delivers some of the most intense action, massive set pieces, gorgeous graphics and slick controls of any video game series out there.

More Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS DLC speculation
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Rumors, Wii U | 5 Comments
There’s more talk going around about Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS potentially supporting DLC.
Messages have apparently been found in the 3DS version that could be used to create data for downloadable content, for instance. Other recently-discovered code could allow for character and stage DLC to be loaded.
Rumor has it that the shop will be titled “Notifications Shop” – at least in Japanese.
Will any of this pan out? Will Smash Bros. actually get any DLC? Only time will tell…
