News Miiverse Update Allows You To List Favourite Game Genres and Add Lines To Posts
Because it's mine, I write with lines
Have you ever been writing a post on Miiverse and thought, "darn it, why won't it let me share my message in multiple, perfectly placed lines"? Or perhaps you're wanted to share with the world that you love puzzle games and platformers above all else? If either of those wishes applies to you, then you're in...

Rosalina! Mega Man! New 3DS stage! More stuff!
Super Smash Bros. is still coming, yes it is.

Say "meh" to Yeahs
Nintendo's ever-evolving Miiverse social network has had another update today, tweaking the experience in customising your Activity Feed, improving the browser-based User Page and adding an option to embed posts on websites. The latter option is a simple button at the end of a post that gives you some embed code, though it should...

"Quite a bit different from Coin Launcher in Super Smash Bros. Brawl."
With its arrival now confirmed to be around three and a half months away, we can expect more firm details on Super Smash Bros. for 3DS to filter through in the coming weeks. We'll get a sense of how fully featured it is in comparison to its eventual Wii U partner, though to date...

Super Smash Bros. is getting tantalisingly close, with the 3DS version confirmed for 3rd October and the Wii U iteration once again pegged for the Holiday season. Both titles were extensively shown off at E3, too, enhancing the excitement further. Despite the madness in LA, Masahiro Sakurai didn't...
News Mii Swordfighter Characters Show Off Their Moves in Super Smash Bros.
Shurikens of Light! Chakrams! Gale Strikes!
The first reveal from Nintendo in its E3 Digital Event was Mii characters for Super Smash Bros., an inclusion that means — in theory — almost anyone can be a challenger.

A little earlier than normal — thanks a bunch E3! — we're having a look at the latest tasty screens for Super Smash Bros..

Down to two minutes and up to 400 characters, that is
After a major Wii U system update this week, Nintendo has applied a smaller yet potentially rather popular update to its bespoke Miiverse social network, with tweaks that will give users a little more freedom on the platform. The ever evolving platform's changes have been applied across the Wii...

News Masahiro Sakurai Shows Off Touch Screen Usage in Super Smash Bros. on 3DS
Steady those expectations...
Super Smash Bros. for 3DS is a game in a slightly odd position. It's due this 'Summer', yet is being consistently overshadowed by its Wii U brethren; the latter has its own E3 Invitational and is still getting a lot more coverage of Masahiro Sakurai's Super Smash Bros. Director's Room. Fear not, 3DS fans, as Sakurai-san...
News Miiverse Tells the Tale of a Broken Mario Kart 8 Street Date
Oh, you naughty retailers...
There have been comments bouncing around online in the past day or so regarding Mario Kart 8 being sold early by some retailers. It brings to mind the early arrival of Pokémon X & Y in October 2013, though that was far more contentious due to the desire of Nintendo and Game Freak that some surprises would remain...

E3 creeps ever closer, which should mean more information on Super Smash Bros. isn't far away. The past week was actually fairly eventful for the titles, however, with loose comments from Nintendo's French division suggesting that the Wii U version will utilise the NFC Figurine Platform, with...
News Nintendo Releases Unlock Code Hint for NES Remix 2
So many winking Mii characters!
NES Remix 2 may have been around nearly a month now, but there's a decent chance that a number of gamers are yet to unlock all of the different game challenges that are available. Maybe some of us are particularly rubbish at Dr. Mario, for example. Aware that some may need a helping hand, game director Koichi...

Miiverse, Nintendo's continually evolving bespoke social network, has had another update applied today.

Dat Dragoon
Poor DK, whether through being dim or simply suffering as a victim of other Nintendo mascots, he can't catch a break. Well, that's a slight exaggeration, but he's the victim in the latest screens published by Masahiro Sakurai on the Super Smash Bros. Miiverse Director's Room. Though we normally reserve these for a weekly round-up, the...

It's that time, despite this being a holiday Monday in some parts, for our usual summary of last week's Super Smash Bros. screens. The spotlight may have been stolen last week by an upcoming kart racer, in particular, but Masahiro Sakurai did keep up his usual rate of a pic a day. As always the offerings on...

News Masahiro Sakurai's Latest Super Smash Bros. Screen is for All You Mega Man Fans
"The Mega Man legends, united"
Final Smash Attacks aren't just powerful moves to obliterate enemies, but also shameless, glorious fan service — perhaps that's part of the reason why we loved them so much in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Whether an insane charge shot from Samus or a hulking great Landmaster for Fox, they stick in the mind. Masahiro...

Mario says it's not a chat room, right?
Nintendo has today announced a fresh update for Miiverse across the web and Wii U / 3DS versions.

It's a Holiday Monday, but Super Smash Bros. development never rests (we assume). We're also not going to let anything like a pesky holiday get in the way of our regular Miiverse summary, either.

Neighbours, be warned
Wii Karaoke U probably still holds the crown as one of the most peculiar offerings on the Wii U eShop.

News Sony Worldwide Studios President Shuhei Yoshida Highlights Brushes With Miiverse Law
Naughty
It can be tempting to think of Nintendo as standing alone in terms of companies with powerful executives that are also charming, affable individuals; we see that side of Satoru Iwata and colleagues frequently in Nintendo Direct broadcasts. It'd be wrong to think these are qualities only found within Nintendo, however, as there are a number...

It's Monday, which means it's time for our Super Smash Bros. summary from last week. There are some good'uns, too.

If Samus in the upcoming Super Smash Bros. is ultimately going to be heavily influenced by the design from Metroid: Other M, then perhaps she'll be less the silent and deadly hunter from the Metroid Prime Trilogy and more prone to flashbacks, fearing the past and generally being full of angst. The latest assist trophy may, then, send our...

Buttons now do different things!
Updates to the Wii U and 3DS are a far cry from the days of the Wii and DS, when system updates were comparatively rare and tweaks and improvements to individual apps clearly weren't high on Nintendo's list of priorities.
