Natsume is bringing another title to the North American Wii U Virtual Console this week. According to Nintendo’s website, Car Battler Joe is due out tomorrow for $6.99.

Here’s the official overview:

Nobody knows why your dad, champion car battler Jim Todoroki, suddenly abandoned the fastest and most popular sport in Galacia. There is a rumor going around that he’s riding around with the most ruthless car-battler gangs in the world. But is it just a rumor, or is there truth behind it?

Play as Joe Todoroki, in his quest to become a car battler—like his father before him. His mother says he has the talent, but hard work will be the payoff. Customize a vehicle in the Garage to enhance or diminish its performance. Sign up for jobs, missions, and even tournaments as Joe explores the dangerous highways and byways that surround his village. Other car battlers fight for money and fame, but Joe has a higher calling: to restore his family’s honor and bring his father home!

Ancient developed Car Battler Joe for the GBA, and it released in Japan through publisher Victor Interactive Software back in 2001. Natsume localized the title for North America a year later.

Game Informer recently caught up with Super Mario Maker director Yosuke Oshino and senior director Yoshikazu Yamashita. While speaking with the site, the two developers shared tips to help players improve their levels.

One of the first tips from Oshino and Yamashita is to play through a bunch of courses:

“I’d advise you to play through a lot of courses. Play the 10-Mario Challenge and Course World, and if you find a course you like (I’d recommend a shorter one first), save it and try messing around with it. As you learn how the courses you like were made, and how they can be changed to make them better (or worse), I think you’ll gradually build up a toolbox of ideas on how to build courses.” – Yamashita

“It might also be a good idea to look at what kind of courses people are making with the 10-Mario Challenge, or to go on Course World and check out the world rankings to see how people on there make their courses and get all those favorites.” – Oshino

Oshino also discussed the importance of keeping your target audience in mind:

“I think it’s important that you think about who you want playing your course, and how you want him or her to play it. Think about a course length they’d prefer, and what kinds of enemies or course elements they’d like. I also think people like courses which have that, ‘Let’s try that one more time,’ element to them without being unfair, no matter if they’re easy or difficult.” – Oshino

Also from Oshino, experimenting with different combinations is encouraged:

“[W]hen you combine multiple parts together, you’ll suddenly open up a great deal more opportunities. I found a new way to combine parts myself just the other day. I think players might just invent new ways to combine parts that not even we thought of, too.” – Oshino

“I like the ‘generational change’ of putting Bowser on the back of a large Bowser Jr. (i.e., when you combine Bowser Jr. with a Mushroom), or taking the Queen (high-heeled) Goomba’s Shoe you get by shaking a regular Goomba’s Shoe and adding wings to it to make a Para-Queen Goomba’s Shoe.” – Oshino

Game Informer has a couple of additional tips from the Super Mario Maker developers here.

Tatsumi Kimishima was named as Nintendo’s new president earlier this week. Xbox boss Phil Spencer, who never shies away from interacting with fans on Twitter, offered a few brief words about the news.

Here’s the relevant tweet:

It’ll be interesting to see what Kimishima does during his time as president of Nintendo. It’s silly at this point to have any preconceived notions at this point!
