REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Fantastic new challenges in the world of Pikmin 3 are only a download away. Starting today, new challenges in the “Battle Enemies!” mission type in Pikmin 3 can be purchased as downloadable content in the Nintendo eShop on Wii U for only $1.99. One stage is free, and is available via an automatic software update.
The pack of four stages is based on locations from the game’s Story Mode and is crawling with tons of hostile creatures. Like all the other stages in Mission Mode, these new challenges can be played solo or cooperatively with a friend. High scores earned in this mode will be displayed on a global rankings leaderboard, encouraging friendly competition with other players all around the world.
IGN’s Jose Otero has posted a shot of the Super Mario 3D World disc art on Twitter. You can find it below.

Studio Fawn’s Bloom: Memories, an action-adventure RPG, may end up on Wii U. In fact, the company says there’s “a pretty good chance” of that happening. We’ll likely be seeing it after the initial release so that Wii U-specific GamePad features can be added in.
One fan asked Studio Fawn about the potential Wii U version on Twitter. In response, the indie dev said:
@n1nt2nd0 There is a pretty good chance of that 🙂 But likely after initial release (so we can add some wii u controller features).

An early version of the boxart for The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds showed a Nintendo Network logo. However, the final product has now arrived, and it comes without the image. I suppose that means A Link Between Worlds won’t have Nintendo Network connectivity after all!
IGN’s Jose Otero passed along the boxart update a short while ago:
I guess the Nintendo Network logo on the early packaging for Zelda:ALBW was a mistake. pic.twitter.com/cCLANVTjA1

Wii Karaoke U does not censor any songs in Europe. This was intentional, Nintendo has confirmed. A statement sent out by the company says it “does not restrict which songs are included in the catalogue of songs” because the application “is intended to provide users with access to a large catalogue of songs from a broad range of music labels across a variety of musical genres – designed to appeal to all music tastes.” Note that a warning will be added within the eShop in the near future.
You can find Nintendo’s full statement below.
