Nintendo has long said that Art Academy Wii U (full version, not SketchPad) would be coming this year. Sadly, it looks like this is no longer the case.

We now have a full translation of Famitsu’s Captain Toad review. Head past the break for verdicts from each of the different editors.

It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart! Final Fantasy XV, Final Fantasy Explorers, Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire, Bravely Second, and Tales of Zestiria are the new top five.

Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between October 23 and October 29.

Update: Bumped to the top. This is an interesting twist! Was the whole stunt staged? New findings certainly point in that direction!

Listings for castings were discovered on LA Casting last week:

Karissa’s full name also seems to be “Karissa Bannister”. She’s an actress who appeared in a Ford commercial.


One GameStop outlet held an event for Smash Bros. Wii U yesterday. That wouldn’t be news under most circumstances… if not for “Karissa”!

“Karissa”, a 10-year-old girl, managed to beat several top West Coast Smash players at GameStop’s event. You can get a look at Karissa dominating the competition in the videos below.
