Famitsu recently held a poll asking gamers about which system they’ll be purchasing this holiday. PS Vita came out on top, followed by the 3DS second, and Wii U third.

Store owners were also asked by Famitsu about what console they believe will sell the best during the holiday period. Thanks to the likes of Pokemon X/Y and Monster Hunter 4, 3DS was the most selected choice by a wide margin. The PS Vita and PS3 came in second and third respectively.

During an appearance on the Japanese multi-media internet talk show Kurokawa Juku, Sony Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida shared more kind words for Wii U as well as Super Mario 3D World.

Yoshida first told the audience that he owns two Wii U consoles. He then had some kind words for Mario 3D World, stating:

“The latest Mario game is really good, too. I think the Wii U is just getting started.”

Yoshida ended with the following:

“People can get together and enjoy [the Wii U], it’s got plenty of wonderful games. Nintendo helps raise and teaches the fun of games to people just starting out. I think that’s a very important thing in this industry.”

Along with today’s screenshot, Sakurai passed along the following message on Miiverse:

Rosalina and Luma can be right by each other or set farther apart. They’re both controlled by the player, so a smash attack can be done from far off. Remote control all the way!

Like many Wii U games, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze supports off-TV play. But if you happen to be playing regularly – on TV that is – the controller will go dark. Retro implemented the functionality in order to “save battery.”

While we’re on the topic of controllers, Tropical Freeze will support a whole bunch of them. You can use the GamePad, Pro Controller, Wiimote and nunchuck combo, or Wiimote by itself (sideways).
