New Super Mario Bros. U features a few playable characters. You can control Mario, Luigi, Toad, and your very own Mii. Peach, however, is not playable.
Explaining the move, game director Masataka Takemoto said Peach wasn’t made available to players since she would likely have a different set of moves and animation. But in the New Super Mario Bros. series, the team wants all players to be on equal footing.
“In Super Mario Bros 2, Princess Peach had her own unique moves and animation. In this series, we want all the players to have the same moves and animations as Mario, and Princess Peach isn’t suited for that.”
The gold nunchuck is back in stock at Club Nintendo, folks! Grab it while you can – I can’t see this being on the site for too long.

Nintendo sold more than 1.2 million hardware units during the past week, according to NOA president Reggie Fils-Aime.
Breaking things down more specifically, over 700,000 consoles were sold. Wii U came in 400,000 units sold while the Wii moved another 300,000 systems.
Regarding Wii U’s performance, Reggie said that the console’s limited stock impacted sales. He noted that the company “is essentially sold out of retail” and when stock is replenished at stores, “they’re selling out immediately.”
The original 3DS will allegedly be getting another price drop soon. Nintendo will adjust the MSRP to $139.99 in about two weeks, new rumors suggest. The system currently retails for $169.99.
Next week, you’ll be able to grab the 3DS for $10 cheaper than the upcoming price drop. Target will apparently sell the handheld for $129.99.
Meanwhile, a 3DS XL bundle featuring Mario Kart 7 will also be available next week – at least at Target – for $199.99.
Before Rayman Legends was officially announced, an internal video leaked demonstrated how the game could take advantage of the Wii U’s NFC functionality. This feature won’t be making it into the final game, but Rayman creator Michel Ancel does believe in NFC’s promise.
Ancel told ONM:
“We didn’t announce this officially and it was more the kind of experiment we do when working on new hardware like the Wii U. We had prototypes of this and we believe that having real objects manipulating gameplay could be quite innovative. But again, this was a prototype and we won’t discuss it until it’s ready to demonstrate its full potential.”
