WiiU News

Late this evening - and early Thursday morning in Japan - Nintendo brass delivered their remarks to investors detailing what is coming from Nintendo within the next 6 months. They touched on future titles, the new system that would replace Club Nintendo, and mobile games. Here is the breakdown, information courtesy of Nintendo Everything.

I had the opportunity to play Yoshi Woolly World a number of times during Nintendo of Canada events in Toronto. The first time I played the game - well over a year ago at an E3 2014 event - I was so excited for this title. The game was unique in design, and was packed with so much charm. While I have yet to play the final product, here are our top reasons to give Yoshi's Woolly World a try this holiday season.

If you are as excited as I am for the the new yarn Yoshi amiibo and his latest adventure, Yoshis Woolly World, than today is an extra special day. Woolly World, three regular yarn Yoshi amiibo - green, blue, and pink - and one Mega Yarn Yoshi are all available to purchase, now! In Canada, the game bundle with green yarn Yoshi will cost 64.99, individual regular sized yarn amiibo will cost 19.99 each, and the Mega Yarn Yoshi (exclusive to Toys R Us) will retail for 59.99.

Today, Disney Interactive revealed details for Marvel Battlegrounds, the upcoming Play Set for Disney Infinity 3.0 Edition, featuring a new four-player, arcade brawler style of gameplay, and an original Marvel storyline. Developed by United Front Games, in partnership with Avalanche Software, Marvel Battlegrounds is the first Disney Infinity Play Set to feature four-player gameplay. With full compatibility for all Disney Infinity Marvel characters, Marvel Battlegrounds features the widest selection of playable characters of any previous Play Set.

Disney Infinity 3.0 has been a huge hit with consumers, and the game deserves all the praise it has been getting. From the Star Wars packed in play set to all the options that are coming this year and next, Disney once again has captured the hearts and minds of fans around the globe. Fresh of a very successful stint at the Box Office, Inside Out has made a big splash in Disney Infinity 3.0, and he is what we thought of it!

It has been a while since we got a really good Mario Tennis title on a Nintendo platform. The last release on 3DS was lackluster at best; Nintendo has the opportunity to redeem themselves this November with the release of Mario Tennis. I had the chance to play the game at a Nintendo E3 Media event in Toronto, Ontario and I can safely say that we might be getting the next best Mario sports title!

When Reggie and Activision announced at E3 2015 that Nintendo characters were coming to Skylanders, I was fairly skeptical, especially since it was also announced that these characters would also be amiibo compatible. Now that I have the figures in my hands - thanks to Activision who saved me a lot of money (more on that later) - I can say my skeptism was unfounded. While I wish the characters modeled an amiibo more than a Skylander, the final figures are still excellent little toys that are loads of fun to play with in Skylanders SuperChargers.

Animal Crossing has a large, dedicated following. While we await the next true Animal Crossing game, Nintendo is wetting our appetites with a spin off title that tasks you with decorating the homes that our good friend, Tom Nook, sells. Will you be joining Nook's home selling team?

On the eve of the launch of Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer, it appears as if Animal Crossing amiibo cards are sold out at almost every retailer, and those that are not sold out will have limited stock. What I'm basically saying is: if you don't go get your copy of the game the second the store opens, there is a good chance you won't get any amiibo cards.

If you find a free moment, go to YouTube and search Super Mario Maker. You are bound to get stuck in that "just one more video" cycle as you look through some of the amazing levels that have been uploaded so far. This week, Nintendo in Japan announced on Twitter that over one million Super Mario Maker levels have been uploaded for others to play. This is an amazing statistic.
