There was a slew of GameCube inspired Wiimote attachments announced prior to E3 this year, where Nintendo officially announced the GameCube adapter for Wii U which prompted almost all clones to disappear from the market very quickly. It looks like Hori have decided to stay in the game with a particularly stylish controller however, set to be released on December 6 for 2980 yen. This Mario and Luigi themed GameCube inspired controller features a slightly larger d-pad and a turbo button with 3 settings.

Today Sakurai gives us a look at all the different customization options available for use in the console version:

Going clockwise from the top-left corner, here are the pictures that appear for Rules, Time Limit, Custom Fighters, Stage Choice, Damage Ratio, and Handicap.

 

In the Wii U version, you can customize additional rules from the beginning of the game. Here are the pictures displayed for Stock Time Limit, Team Attack, Pause Function, SD Penalty, Damage Display, and Score Display. You can almost hear Fox’s cry in the picture displayed for SD Penalty settings.

It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart! Final Fantasy XV, Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire, Persona 5, Tales of Zestiria, and Final Fantasy Explorers are the new top five.

Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between October 2 and October 8.
