Doesn’t it feel like we’ve been waiting ages for Pirate’s Curse? A release date would be nice!
Thanks to Noble Wrot for the tip.
IGN has put up some new comments from Nintendo producer Hideki Konno and Mario Kart 8 director Kosuke Yabuki. The two ended up sharing interesting bits about Mario Kart’s origins, the difficulty in implementing anti-gravity for Mario Kart 8, and how the racer’s Sunshine Airport course came about from a previous entry’s development.
Continue on below for a roundup of what’s included in IGN’s report, which you can find in full here.
Pikmin 3 has been updated, and it brings about a new control option. It’s now possible to use the GamePad’s touch screen to throw Pikmin similar to the setup in Nintendo Land’s Pikmin Adventure. Players can switch between control options in the main menu.
