Mario Party: Star Rush can now be pre-loaded on the North American 3DS eShop. By doing so, you can download most of the required data ahead of launch. Then on release date, you’ll only need a small update to begin playing.
Mario Party: Star Rush takes up 3,011 blocks. That amounts to 376.375 MB.

The developers of Hex Heroes, which is still currently slated to be released for the Wii U, have commented on the Nintendo Switch and the possibility of Hex Heroes appearing on it.
While initially expected for release in 2015, Hex Heroes is still under development after its successful 2014 Kickstarter campaign. The game utilizes the gamepad and 5-player potential of the Wii U heavily, and as such porting it to other systems would be a tricky scenario. It seems that the developers of the game are hopeful at the prospects of a Switch port though, as in the most recent backer update they go over the details of what a Switch port of Hex Heroes would look like, how the controls would work and ask for backers input on whether they’d like to see a Switch port of the game if possible.
Based on the trailer, it doesn’t appear that one Switch can perfectly mimic the Wii U’s ability to display different visuals on the TV vs. the gamepad. Two Switches, on the other hand, could. One Switch for the commander, and one switch docked to the TV for four player split screen. This makes an assumption about the Switch being able to support up to four players, though – the trailer has only shown up to two (granted, they were on the portable screen, not the TV). At best, two Switches can offer the Wii U experience, and at worst, three Switches will be needed (for 5 players). Again, time will tell.
It’s worth noting that Hex Heroes is being built for ALL control schemes on the Wii U. We don’t want to bar players from joining in the fun just because they only have Wii remotes. This early decision will serve us well, if we can make the move to Switch, given that each mini-controller has roughly the same amount of buttons.
Usually around the holidays, enticing video game deals begin to appear. It makes sense then that Target will be holding a special offer beginning at the very end of this month.
During the week of October 30, all games will be included in a buy 2, get 1 free sale. This should include all Wii U and 3DS games. Additionally, based on a picture from the ad, amiibo will be a part of the deal as well.
The sale will last through November 5.

Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse recently released at retail. It’s mostly the same game as the eShop version, but WayForward also packed in an exclusive mini-game. Check out some off-screen footage below.
Several new games out came out this week on the Wii U and 3DS eShops. If you’re interested in checking out what’s new in screenshot form, take a look at the gallery below.
The dual screen experience is something we’ve come to know of from Nintendo for many years. It started with the DS back in 2004, all the way up through Wii U. With Switch, however, Nintendo is changing things up.
Nintendo confirmed to Polygon that Switch won’t work as a second gameplay screen in your home. A representative told the site, “Nintendo Switch is dedicated to deliver a single-screen experience, on whatever screen you might choose.”
