The Amazing Spider-Man 2 isn’t out yet, but you can already save on the game – if you intend to play on the Wii U or 3DS.

Amazon has both of these versions available for $10 off. Aside from the PS4 and Xbox One versions, all other releases have maintained their original prices strangely enough.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 will launch in North America this Tuesday.

There were quite a few announcements last week, and a number of them were Nintendo-specific. I figured I’d take a few moments to recap some of the news in the latest “Random Thoughts” video. Although it’s not anything special, I hope you’ll enjoy it in any case!

Update: Now confirmed – see the (Spanish) image above (thanks Iván!).

Original: For those unaware, it’s possible to move content stored on your Wii – like WiiWare and Virtual Consoles titles – over to a Wii U console. There were a few exceptions though. LostWinds, for example, couldn’t be transferred for whatever reason.

That has apparently since changed. Based on information provided by reader linkvron, LostWinds can now be brought over to Wii U. Can anyone else verify this information?

Ganbarion recently made a new new post on its developer blog that mainly covers the new Corrida Colosseum mode. Screenshots can be found above, and new details from the post are rounded up below.

– “Battle Colosseum” mode takes place at the Corrida colosseum in the Dressrosa arc of One Piece
– This is where the Mugiwara pirates faces Donquixote Doflamingo
– The colosseum is a new mode with four different ways to fight
– Battle two or more tough opponents in the arena
– Working well with your partner will be the key to winning these fights
– Duel mode: 1v1 battle
– Unlike the other modes that have multiple characters, you’ll constantly be attacked in this mode
– Brawl mode: battle a bunch of small-fry enemies
– They say that characters with ranged attacks or attacks that can hit multiple foes at once will have an edge in this mode
– Boss Rush mode: take on bosses one after another,
– Special Match feature has different battles for your characters
– Win these special fights to earn a huge boost in rank, and they will also have their own original side-stories to them
– Game will include various story developments that were never shown in the original, as you can get your own dream mix of characters to participate in this mode
