In what might be the strangest pre-order offers we’ve seen this year, Best Buy is giving out gas credit with Mario Kart 8 reservations. The offer is valid while supplies last, and is valid both in-store and online.
Best Buy’s Gas Cash can be redeemed at any gas station in the United States that accepts MasterCard. You’ll just need to enter the code provided by the retailer at www.revupyourkart.com/redeem.
At Niconico Super Conference 3 in Chiba, Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii stated that Square Enix is “making the next” entry in the series. Horii is almost certainly referring to Dragon Quest XI.
Once Horii mentioned this, Dragon Quest X producer Yosuke Saito as well as chief planner Anzai Takashi looked as though they weren’t expecting him to say that. They were, in other words, indicating that Horii said something he shouldn’t have said. Oops?

Now’s the time to purchase Elite Beat Agents if you haven’t already done so. At the moment, Amazon
has the game available for $5.88. Copies will ship in 2-3 weeks, but you really should consider buying Elite Beat Agents for this price.
Update: Now confirmed – see the (Spanish) image above (thanks Iván!).
Original: For those unaware, it’s possible to move content stored on your Wii – like WiiWare and Virtual Consoles titles – over to a Wii U console. There were a few exceptions though. LostWinds, for example, couldn’t be transferred for whatever reason.
That has apparently since changed. Based on information provided by reader linkvron, LostWinds can now be brought over to Wii U. Can anyone else verify this information?
