Rakoo’s Adventure has been renamed to “Rakoo & Friends” on Wii U. Moving Player says that the eShop release “bloomed into a multiplayer console version full of fun and surprises”.
Here’s an overview of the game’s features:
– Join Rakoo in his adventures with this Full HD Wii U release
– An original racing and adventure game filled with humor and amazing cartoon graphics
– Up to 5 players in an exclusive multiplayer mode!
– Over 60 levels to complete with this endearing hero you will guide with your Wii U GamePad

Nintendo payed tribute to Satoru Iwata today at its headquarters in Kyoto, Japan as well as at its home in North America. Flags are both buildings were lowered to half mast.
We’ve seen various comments and reactions pour in regarding Nintendo president Satoru Iwata’s passing. Reggie Fils-Aime, president of Nintendo of America, has now issued a statement as well.
Here’s what he shared:
“Mr. Iwata is gone, but it will be years before his impact on both Nintendo and the full video game industry will be fully appreciated. He was a strong leader for our company, and his attributes were clear to most everyone: Intelligence, creativity, curiosity and sense of humor. But for those of us fortunate enough to work closely with him, what will be remembered most were his mentorship and, especially, his friendship. He was a wonderful man. He always challenged us to push forward…to try the new…to upset paradigms—and most of all, to engage, excite and endear our fans. That work will continue uninterrupted.”
A rainbow was seen right above Nintendo’s headquarters in Kyoto earlier today. It cleared out what was otherwise a partly cloudy day.
A new episode of Capcom TV was recently held to celebrate the Japanese launch of The Great Ace Attorney. Check out the recording in full below, which contains lots of footage from the game.

Shigesato Itoi, creator of EarthBound, posted a message about Satoru Iwata’s recent passing. Have a look at it below.
“No matter the farewell, I think the most appropriate thing to say is “we”ll meet again.” We are friends so we”ll see each other again. There is nothing strange about saying it. Yeah. We’ll meet again.
Even if you didn’t have the chance to put into words how sudden it was going to be, how far you’d be traveling, or how you went much earlier than expected, I know you went wearing your best.
You always put yourself second to others no matter what, helping anyone who needed it whenever they needed it. You were that kind of friend. Although you may have been a little selfish for the first time ever by taking this journey.
The truth is though that I still don’t believe any of it. I feel like I am going to receive a message from you inviting me out to eat at any moment. I wouldn’t mind if you were to ask me like always if I had some free time. If you did, I’d ask you as well.
Still, “we’ll meet again.” It would be great to hear from you whenever and wherever; I’ll being calling to you too. I’ll call if I have something to discuss or I want to tell you a great new idea I’ve had.
We’ll meet again.
Then again, you’re here with me now.”
Videogamer.com obtained a statement from Nintendo of Europe president Satoru Shibata regarding Satoru Iwata’s death:
Nintendo of Europe is today mourning the passing of Mr Satoru Iwata, Nintendo’s Global President. It is difficult to put into words the sadness we feel at this time. Mr. Iwata was a strong leader, a unique figure in the gaming industry and an important part of Nintendo’s history. He was a visionary in every sense of the word and we will miss him dearly.
Just as Mr. Iwata challenged us to always push forward, we will ensure his legacy lives on through our ongoing work to always surprise and delight our fans. At this time our thoughts are with his family.
