Today Sakurai shares some more tidbits on the Gamer stage. Have you noticed them in-game yet?

Mom even appears out of the TV. Sometimes she jumps out of it and walks around. It gets a little crazy. The guy in the far window is Grandpa, who acts as Mom’s decoy. His wig is swaying.

Here’s something interesting about the Australian New 3DS. It appears that content from an original European 3DS system can be transferred over. So if you purchase a New 3DS from Australia, it essentially becomes a European New 3DS.

If you want your Australian New 3DS to function as a European system, first set your location to Australia. Connect to the eShop, exit, and then change it to the European country of your choice. That’s it!

Highlighting the best soundtracks on the Nintendo DS might just be my favourite entry in our month-long series of DS-related articles. Not because it’s easy to write about soundtracks after dropping music class in high school, but because it turned me on to all the best music on the console. Shout-outs are in order to whoever put down the DS game adaptation of the animated movie Robots, which is the only thing more forgettable than the movie itself. The soundtrack, however, happens to be this amazing synth pop score, which turned out to be composed by the developer of Escape Goat! Well anyway, Robots didn’t come remotely close to making the list, but here are the DS soundtracks that did:

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, which launched in North America last Friday, has already sold 490,000 units between physical and digital sales, Nintendo has announced. That number accounts for sales between November 21 and November 23.

Thanks to the success of Super Smash Bros., it’s now the fastest-selling Wii U game ever in the U.S. Mario Kart 8 previously held this record.

Nintendo has also confirmed that more than 14 million Super Smash Bros. games have been sold in the U.S. alone.

Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing, said of today’s news:

“The Nintendo holiday is off to a great start, but there’s a lot of work left to do and a few more surprises in store for our fans. With great deals coming on Black Friday and Cyber Monday and great content like Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker launching next week, Nintendo will offer shoppers the best combination of fun and value this holiday season.”
