The firmware update included with Super Mario 3D Land brought a change to the system’s Friend List. After applying the upgrade, players are given the ability to join another person’s game. Mario Kart 7 appears to be the first release to take advantage of this feature – you can see the first footage of it above.

Nintendo has opened the official Mario Kart 7 website, and it’s brought along a ton of Mario Kart 7 footage. When I say “a ton”, I really mean a ton. I believe there are almost 70 clips included on the site!

I’ve gathered all of the footage and separated the clips into three videos. I tried to cram everything into one video, but my computer wouldn’t cooperate! As usual, no sound/music was included with the clips (blame Nintendo for that!).

The first video can be found below. I’ve posted the other two after the break.

Kind of a neat commercial!

With Super Mario 3D Land and Zelda: Skyward Sword launching in back-to-back weeks, some Nintendo gamers probably forgot about a promising title from Shin’en/Majesco called Nano Assault. The shooter was actually due out today, but it has apparently been delayed.

When asked about the delay, a Majesco representative said:

“…the game was pushed back and is not available yet. It has been an extremely busy couple of months for Majesco.”

This delay might not actually be a bad thing. November has been an incredibly packed month (not just for Nintendo platforms), so pushing Nano Assault back a few weeks (or even a month or two), could give the game some breathing room.
