Those who own a Japanese 3DS system can now begin filling in a puzzle for Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker. It’s not available overseas as far as I’m aware, but we’ll probably see it when the game comes closer to its western release. We’ll keep you updated.
Mirage Spots and Ancient Gateways Unleash Legendary Pokémon, Eon Ticket Leads Trainers to Latias or Latios, and More Unveiled before November 21 Launch
BELLEVUE, Wash. – November 14, 2014 – Today, The Pokémon Company International revealed Delta Episode story details for the Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire games launching November 21, 2014. Players can learn more about the new Delta Episode, featuring Deoxys and other surprises; the region¹s Mirage spots that conceal Legendary Pokémon; and the mystery of the ancient codes hidden throughout Hoenn in the new trailer.
Embark on a new adventure and encounter Deoxys in the Delta Episode
Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire introduce a new story, the Delta Episode, which reveals the history of the Hoenn region and thrusts Trainers into a quest to save the world. The Mossdeep Space Center, a research facility for studying space and rocket science, discovers that a giant asteroid is hurtling toward the planet. Trainers must stop Team Magma and Team Aqua from attacking the facility. Meanwhile, a battle in space is brewing between the Sky High Pokémon Rayquaza and the DNA Pokémon Deoxys, a powerful Pokémon that can transform between four distinct Formes: Normal Forme, Attack Forme, Defense Forme, and Speed Forme. Rayquaza faces a fateful challenge that will determine the future of Hoenn.
Super Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai returns in this week’s Famitsu with yet another column. A large portion of his piece delves into the usage of Little Mac.
In his column, Sakurai shares an interesting online player statistic for Super Smash Bros. 3DS. It turns out that Little Mac actually has the lowest win ratio among all of the characters.
Sakurai states:
“For Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the individual character win ratios lined up nicely in a staircase format, but [for Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS] one fighter has a significantly low ratio. It’s Little Mac.”
“It appears that the biggest reason for his low win ratio is because people fall under the assumption that ‘Little Mac is strong!’ and all rush to use him only to get pummeled in return. He gives the impression of being able to win easier than other fighters which leads to more people using him, but in reality, he’s a difficult character to actually continuously win with.”
“Little Mac is a fighter with very pronounced strengths and weaknesses. While he has an enhanced dodge and megaton-level punch for aggressive play, he has very weak jump power and a simple back throw along with a follow-up attack prove to be crippling.”

Update: The game is releasing today in North America. Nintendo just released a trailer, which you can find below.
A Wii U rating for Mario Kart: Super Circuit has popped up on the ESRB. That means a Virtual Console release should be happening at some point in the future. We don’t have an exact date, but perhaps the rating is a sign that Mario Kart: Super Circuit will be arriving on the eShop sooner rather than later.
