Here’s a giant attack item, the Ore Club! It’s made of minerals mined on the mountain of the gods. This bulky weapon can even unleash tornadoes.

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!
