The Japanese Super Smash Bros. for 3DS packaging we posted earlier today offers up a few more tidbits about the upcoming game.

As many of you know, Smash Bros. will include StreetPass functionality. The packaging indicates that the feature ties into a “mini-game”, but sadly, no further information is provided. You can count on SpotPass support as well, which comes in the form of “notifications”.

Keep in mind that Super Smash Bros. for 3DS does not support Download Play. Those who plan on playing local matches will each need a copy of the game.

Finally, the title will only include one save slot. That was probably expected!

Midtown Crazy Race is launching on the North American Wii U eShop this Thursday, according to a listing on the digital store. The game is priced at $4.99.

Midtown Crazy Race is already available in Europe. In PAL territories, it released in late July.

We knew that Baymax and Hiro from Big Hero 6 would be coming to Disney Infinity 2.0. But thanks to a discovery from Infinity Inquirer, we now have a first look at the figures. It appears that the characters will be limited to figures as opposed to full-blown Play Sets.

Typoman is coming to the Wii U, Headup Games confirmed during GDC 2014 last week.

Players will control a little character made of letters in Typoman. You’ll need to use letters at your disposal to form words that have different effects on the stage. You may, for example, have the word “rain”, and place a “d” in front to create the letter “drain”. Doing so will allow you to drain water from a pit and continue onward. Expect to run, jump, push, and pull in Typoman as well.

The Pokemon Company has now sent out screenshots and the official announcement for Mega Slowbro in Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire. You’ll find all of the latest content below.

The 2014 Pokémon World Championships concluded last night in Washington, DC, and attendees were treated to a special video that showcased the Mega-Evolved form of Slowbro in a new trailer by Mr. Junichi Masuda, video game director at GAME FREAK.

Slowbro, a Water- and Psychic-type Pokémon, is one of two evolved forms of Slowpoke, the other being Slowking. When Slowbro Mega Evolves into Mega Slowbro, its energy gathers in the Shellder clamped onto its tail. As a result, the hardness of its shell is boosted, making its armour incredibly strong. In battle, Mega Slowbro balances on its tail, wearing Shellder as an impenetrable armour over its body.
