Inflating expectations

Nintendo is slowly but surely drip-feeding us news regarding the mini-games in its forthcoming compilation Nintendo Land, with the latest reveal being Balloon Trip Breeze.

Based on the NES title Balloon Fight - which received a sequel on the Game Boy called Balloon Kid - Balloon Trip Breeze uses the Wii U GamePad's touch-screen for control. By tracing on the screen with the stylus, you can help your airborne character avoid deadly hazards.

It's all looking rather jolly, and is yet another indication that Nintendo is keen to exploit every element of the GamePad's functionality in Nintendo Land.

You can check out the trailer on the Game Informer website.
