The Official Nintendo Magazine got its hands on a fact sheet that reveals the final three mini-games in Nintendo Land.

The first, Captain Falcon’s Twister Race, was originally shown at E3 earlier this year. It’s a single-player racing-like game. “Octopus Dance” and “Yoshi’s Fruit Cart” are also single-player attractions.

Full details on each are posted below.

Captain Falcon’s Twister Race: In this single-player attraction, you’ll hold the narrow end of the Wii U GamePad upright with both hands to guide a high-speed wind-up vehicle toward the finish line.

Octopus Dance: This is a single-player, rhythm-based attraction using the Wii U GamePad. You must instantly memorise the movement of the character on screen and re-enact the poses using the Control Sticks or gyro sensor.

Yoshi’s Fruit Cart: In this brain-teasing single-player attraction, you’re asked to guide Yoshi’s cart towards the goal while collecting all the fruit along the way. The catch is that you can see fruit on the TV but not on the GamePad, a game-play mechanic made possible only using two screens.

There are still lots of technical tidbits that will probably go over most people’s heads (including mine!), but there is a bunch of interesting information. The latter parts tackle the GamePad design, the changes it experienced since it was first showed at E3 2011, and more.

The summary is below. For the full Iwata Asks, visit this link.

Don’t expect a Tales game on the Wii U anytime soon. In a new interview, series producer Hideo Baba all but ruled out a new project from happenning in the near future.

Here’s what Baba said about the possibility:

“We don’t have any plans at the time [to bring the Tales series to Wii U]. But the Wii U is very unique hardware, which has one big screen [on the TV] and one small screen [on the controller], but with the console for development of an RPG, the players need to play for a long time, so we need to create a game in which the gameplay will help players feel less stress.”

I honestly have no idea what Baba is talking about here. But hey, it is what it is.
