Along with today’s screenshot, Sakurai passed along the following message on Miiverse:
Rosalina and Luma can be right by each other or set farther apart. They’re both controlled by the player, so a smash attack can be done from far off. Remote control all the way!
Renegade Kid is kicking off a “huge” sale on the eShop tomorrow, according to studio co-founder Jools Watsham.
Watsham tweeted a few minutes ago:
Huge Renegade Kid eShop sale starts tomorrow! Happy Happy Holidays!! 🙂

I’m sure we’ll be seeing Mutant Mudds on sale. Probably other titles such as ATV Wild Ride and Bomb Monkey as well!
What would EarthBound look like with 3D visuals? Designer Christopher Behr has come up with an answer of his own. Check out Behr’s work above – it’s quite impressive.
Puzzle & Dragons Z is off to a monstrous start in Japan. In its first week, the game sold well over 500,000 copies.
Puzzle & Dragons Z may have moved even more had GungHo Online Entertainment shipped additional product. Analyst David Gibson says that the title sold through 78% percent of its debut shipment – a very high figure.
Famitsu – #1 title was Puzzle & Dragons Z for 3DS which sold 535k but had 78% sell through which suggests extra inventory,company hoping 1m+

Update: Deal is dead on Amazon, but can be found for the same price on GameStop.
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate has been seeing sales on Wii U as of late, but there haven’t been too many discounts for the 3DS version. That’s no longer the case! Amazon is selling Ultimate for $20 on 3DS. It’s currently back-ordered, but you can still place an order.
Like many Wii U games, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze supports off-TV play. But if you happen to be playing regularly – on TV that is – the controller will go dark. Retro implemented the functionality in order to “save battery.”
While we’re on the topic of controllers, Tropical Freeze will support a whole bunch of them. You can use the GamePad, Pro Controller, Wiimote and nunchuck combo, or Wiimote by itself (sideways).
