Nintendo Everything

Several new special stages have come to Pokemon Shuffle. First of all, a special Mewtwo commemorative stage has been added to the game. Previously, Mewtwo was only available in an Expert stage that required you to beat 150 regular stages with an S rank. In this special stage, which will be available until January 19th, items cost nothing, so Mewtwo shouldn’t be too hard to catch.

Next, Regigigas will be available until December 28th. You will have an easier time catching this Pokemon if you have Regirock, Registeel and Regice in your team.

Speaking of which, all three of those are making a return to the game. Regirock will be available until December 18th. It will be followed by Registeel and then Regice.

Finally, the Mega Garchomp competition makes a return. If you haven’t gotten a Garchompite the first time around, now’s your chance. The top 12,000 players in Europe, 18,000 in North America and 50,000 in Japan will receive a Garchompite. If you make it to the top 1,200 in Europe, 1,800 in North America or 5,000 in Japan, you will also receive a Mega Speedup. The top 20,000 in Europe, 30,000 in North America and 50,000 in Japan will receive an Attack Power Up. Everyone else who participates will receive a Disruption Delay. If you already have a Garchompite and place in the top spots, you will receive a Jewel instead.

A new Wii U introduction trailer for Pokken Tournament has come online. We’ve posted it below.

On December 17, Minecraft will finally be heading to Wii U. We have a quick look at the game now below.

I’ve never actually played Minecraft before, so I was kind of messing around more than anything! You can see the controls, look at the options, see some of the tutorial, and watch me doing random things in the Skyrim world for a tiny bit.

Nintendo has gone live with the fifth and final “Survival Guide” episodes for Xenoblade Chronicles X. You can watch the new video below.

During id Software’s very early days, a demo was created for Super Mario Bros. 3. This wasn’t an ordinary demo, however, as it was actually running on a PC.

id Software originally created “Dangerous Dave In Copyright Infringement”, a recreation of World 1-1 featuring characters from John Romero’s Dangerous Dave. The Super Mario Bros. 3 demo was based on this. Nintendo was presented with it, but didn’t sign off on the project since they wanted to keep Mario on its own systems.

25 years later, a video showing the Super Mario Bros. 3 PC demo was shared by Romero on Vimeo today – watch it below. It’s a neat little piece of gaming history!
