Today Nintendo thought it would be a good idea to not only drop a new bundle on us, but to also make us drool all over the place with a new 6 minute video for Super Mario 3D World. Seriously, this game just keeps looking better and better every time we see it! I can’t wait to get my catsuit on when this get released on Nov 22, but until then, enjoy the latest video below.

Today Nintendo has announced, that on November 1st they are releasing a new Wii U Deluxe Bundle. Included in this new bundle will be a Wii U Deluxe and two games- New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U together on one disc. This new bundle will be selling for 299$ and will replace the existing Wii U Deluxe bundle with Nintendo Land.
So if the Wii U Deluxe Zelda Bundle wasn’t to your liking, maybe this new one will be. The Zelda Bundle will still be available while supplies last, and after that, this will be the Wii U Bundle going forward. Look for this new Bundle in stores on November 1st.

Super Mario 3D World for the Nintendo Wii U is starting to look like the first innovative Mario game in quite some time. The mix of open area 3d style and platform style is impeccable. Not to mention, FINALLY a Mario in HD (It looks absolutely stunning BTW)
I have had a chance to get some hands on time with it a couple of times now, and I must say, I had a blast. Ether with friends or alone, it is a whole lot of fun. The new powers are great (I mean a cat suit?? YES PLEASE!) It controls wonderfully, and you can use the Wii U controller. 1080p Mario is a sight for sore eyes (please release a Super Mario Galaxy in HD, PLEASE) This is gaming fun at its purest form. I can’t remember the last time a game made me giddy while playing, just from the sheer amount of whimsy. But anyways, to get a better idea of what I am talking about, take a look at the trailer below, and prepare to get excited!
Super Mario 3d World is slated to be released on November 22, Exclusively on the Wii U.

So the new VERY pretty version of The Legend of Zelda: The Windwaker HD comes out in the Nintendo e-Shop tomorrow for the Wii U, and is hitting stores on Oct 4. So we thought we would show you this video showcasing just how BIG of an increase this new one is in graphical fidelity over the original. The Video may be in Japanese, but we can look and see just how far from the original this new remake is. I don’t know about you guys, but I know what I will be playing once this is released.

So during PAX (Penny Arcade Expo) this past weekend in Seattle, we were able to go hands on with the new Nintendo 2DS system. So I thought I would write some quick impressions from my hands on time with it.
So there you have it, those are my initial impressions of the new Nintendo 2DS. I must say I was a LOT more impressed with it once I was able to hold it, and see it in the flesh. This is a device for small kids, and to that end I think Nintendo nailed it.
Take a look at our video below where we show you the 2DS from all the angles. If you have any other questions about the 2DS, feel free to ask away.

Today, during Nintendo Direct, the company announced, two Limited-Edition Pokemon X/Y-themed 3DS XL models, one blue and one red, coming to North America on Sept 27th. These systems feature the likenesses of Xerneas and Yveltal, the two Legendary Pokemon that grace the covers of the Pokemon X and Pokemon Y game boxes. The Pokemon X and Y games are not included in the package and will be sold separately.

In a surprise move this morning Nintendo announced that they’re finally dropping the price of the Wii U Deluxe set to $299.99. This new Wii U bundle will include The Legend of Zelda Wind Waker HD and be available on September 20. Also if you notice the Wii U gamepad now has some cool Zelda themed artwork for this special bundle. Is this enough to make you consider the Wii U or is it too little too late?

If you were on the fence or even thinking about getting a Wii U, now may be the right time to run out and get one. This long weekend Walmart Canada has the basic set for $199, which is in my opinion a fantastic deal. Don’t have a Walmart in your area? No problem, we have confirmation that Futureshop will price match this promotion. Our very own writer Dayne just picked up his own Wii U for $194 after getting Futureshop to price match and beat Walmart’s price. Your mileage may very, so if $5 isn’t worth the hassle just head down to your nearest Walmart and take advantage of this wicked deal.
