Nintendo had a heavy presence at The Game Awards last year. New trailers debuted for Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. and Mario Maker. Additionally, Nintendo showed the first gameplay footage of Zelda Wii U, which certainly came as a surprise.
You may be interested to hear about how Zelda Wii U’s appearance at The Game Awards came together at the last minute. Geoff Keighley, who led the way on last year’s show, spoke about this during the latest episode of GT Live.
His comments in full are as follows:
If you’re looking for a full translation of the new Fire Emblem (Fire Emblem If in Japan) trailer, YouTube user “shadowofchaos725” has you covered. Check out the video above for the new trailer with subtitles.
When it comes down to it, there are two versions of Rodea: The Sky Soldier. There’s the game for Wii, which was Yuji Naka’s original vision. Kadokawa Games also prepared releases for Wii U and 3DS. If you’re interested in learning about how Rodea differs on Wii U, 3DS, and Wii, check out our report here.
We’ve seen plenty of trailers and footage for the Wii U and 3DS versions of Rodea: The Sky Soldier. You can now check out the Wii title in action below.
Rodea: The Sky Soldier launches on September 22 in North America, and September 25 in Europe. First-print copies of the Wii U game will include the Wii title

If comments from a Nintendo customer service representative are anything to go by, fans should be able to submit “any video-game character” for the Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot. That would include third-party characters, which some thought weren’t be an option with a recent Facebook post from Nintendo.
Here’s what the customer service representative wrote to one fan:
Thanks for writing to us. I can certainly understand your interest in if third-party characters are eligible for the Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot. I want to assure you that you are able to submit any video-game character for this ballot. While we are unable to guarantee your suggested character will become a Super Smash Bros. Fighter, rest assured, we do take all feedback into consideration.
I never consider what’s said by a Nintendo customer service representative to be the final word on anything, but this is certainly encouraging!
Petite Games has revealed its next game for the Wii U eShop, which is titled “Micro Racers”. Not much is known currently, but it should offer three modes: Time Trial, Championship, and Multiplayer.

Petite Games’ other titles, Midnight and Super Destronaut, are out now on the eShop.
A little Easter egg has been discovered within the Japanese Super Mario Bros. 30th anniversary website. If you check the source code, you’ll notice that Mario himself is hidden inside! This is actually not on the North American site as far as I can tell.
