I’m not generally big on announcements of previews (that sounds odd just to type that!), but we do have a brief update to share about two upcoming Nintendo titles. First, new previews for Mario Golf: World Tour will begin rolling in tomorrow. Coverage for Mario Kart 8 is expected in a big way next week. Expect tons of posts about each!

Wii U no longer lets you take screenshots of the console’s menus, system-level processes
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 30 Comments
Update: Or maybe not? We’re hearing that some people are still able to take screenshots (including reader Skarnet). Not entirely sure what the deal is!
Original: As a little bit of random news, we’re hearing that the Wii U no longer allows users to to take screenshots of the system menu and processes. That means owners can’t capture images of their daily log or other similar features. At least for now, it’s unclear why the change was made.
