Are you having trouble finding worthwhile Super Mario Maker levels? Then a newly opened section of the game’s Japanese website may interest you.
The Super Mario Maker Course Selection area can be accessed here. On the page, Nintendo developers have selected levels and divided them up into categories.
Nintendo is also holding a contest of sorts to create a Super Mario Maker level with certain themes. These are:
1. A course that uses P-Switches/P-Doors in an interesting way
2. A course with a summer theme (makes you feel like you’re in summer)
3. A course that uses the phone audio block well
The deadline for the event is on August 8.

New Pokken Tournament character teased for July 14 reveal
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 14 Comments
On July 20, the arcade version of Pokken Tournament will be getting a major update. The game will be adding Garchomp, Braixen, and Shadow Mewtwo. On top of this, it sounds like there will be a new character on the way.
A broadcast on Niconico during the middle of July will be going over the update. Additionally, based on the official image above, it’s implied that a new fighter teased will be revealed.
The Niconico stream will air on July 14 at the following times:
– 4 AM PT
– 7 AM ET
– 12 PM in the UK
– 1 PM in Europe
Although this news pertains specifically to the arcade version of Pokken Tournament, one would have to think that the fighter would be made available in the Wii U version as well. References to Scizor, Darkrai, and Empoleon were spotted in the latest update, but that doesn’t necessarily confirm that one of these three will be announced.
