Nintendo announced that a Virtual Console version of its 2004 Game Boy Advance game The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap is due to hit the Wii U eShop in Europe next week.
Developed by Capcom, The Minish Cap teams Link up with a talking hat that can shrink its wearer to the size of tiny Minish tribesmen. Gameplay pairs the Zelda series' traditional item-based progression with Link's newfound ability to grow and shrink in size, giving puzzles a unique flair. The Minish Capresurfaces as part of Capcom's recently announced plans to port its Game Boy Advance back catalog to Nintendo's Wii U console, and was previously a featured game in Nintendo's 3DS Ambassador program.
The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap will make its eShop debut in Europe on May 29. A North American release has not been announced.

Mario can drive in pretty much whatever direction he wants in Mario Kart 8, but today he'll be practicing left turns on the hood of NASCAR driver Matt Kenseth's No. 20 car. Kenseth will be racing in the annual, 200-lap History 300 at the Charlotte Motor Speedway, a track with a disappointing lack of gravity-shifting sections. Really though, if we could at least throw some item boxes down, we'd have a pretty decent replica of Baby Park.
If you're actually heading down to the Charlotte Motor Speedway instead of just tuning in from home, Nintendo will be there with MK8 kiosks for fans to test drive. Mario and Luigi will be around too, in case you'd like photographic evidence that the Bros. are real, just like Santa and everything else you've ever loved. Both the game and the Bros. will be present in the Fan Zone today and tomorrow.
Best of luck to Kenseth today, but we think the competition's just lucky that Josh Wise isn't using his No. 98 car. Can you imagine coming up to his bumper and getting that unflinching Doge staredown?

Nintendo may have pulled the plug on internet multiplayer services for the DS and Wii, but that doesn't mean that you'll be stuck playing their games offline from here on out. Enterprising fans have launched an unofficial Wi-Fi Connection serverthat lets matchmaking and other core services work (almost) the way they did before the cutoff. In many cases, it's relatively easy to set things up. The DS usually works just by changing the handheld's connection settings; Wii owners, meanwhile, have to run some software from an SD card for the magic to happen.

Nintendo will launch the final two games in its downloadable Wii U minigame compilation Wii Sports Club in Japan next month ahead of a boxed retail release, the publisher announced this week.
Boxing and Baseball will round out Wii Sports Club's five-game roster in Japan on June 27. The games can be activated for a 24-hour period for 200 yen each, or purchased for free play as a 1,000-yen two-pack. A retail version of Wii Sports Club, which includes Boxing and Baseball in addition to previously released Tennis, Bowling, and Golf minigames, will hit Japanese store shelves in July.
Nintendo of America has not revealed a North American release date for Wii Sports Club's final two minigames, and a retail version has not been announced.

Publisher Bloomsbury announced that the next volume in its 33 1/3 book serieswill focus on Koji Kondo's iconic soundtrack for Nintendo's landmark 1985 platformer Super Mario Bros.
Launched in 2003, the 33 1/3 series provides critical analysis of historically significant music albums, with past volumes featuring The Pixies' Doolittle, My Bloody Valentine's Loveless, and Led Zeppelin's IV. The upcoming Super Mario Bros. book marks the first time the series has studied a video game soundtrack.
Written by Maestro Mario: How Nintendo Transformed Videogame Music into an Art author Andrew Schartmann, 33 1/3: Super Mario Bros. will explore how composer Koji Kondo "put to rest an era of bleeps and bloops -- the sterile products of a lab environment -- replacing it with one in which game sounds constituted a legitimate form of artistic expression." 33 1/3: Super Mario Bros.will launch in May 2015.

An image buried within the HTML source of the official Tomodachi Life website hints that Nintendo of America may be planning to launch a special edition 2DS variant to commemorate the game's upcoming launch stateside, Tiny Cartridge reports.
The image, reprinted above, shows a Nintendo 2DS hardware color that is not currently available in North America. Tiny Cartridge notes that the portable's white-on-teal design resembles the Japan-exclusive Mint x White 3DS XLreleased alongside the Japanese version of Tomodachi Life last year, suggesting that a similar hardware tie-in could soon follow in North America.
To date, Nintendo of America has not announced any plans to releaseTomodachi Life-themed 3DS or 2DS hardware in the United States. Tomodachi Life will debut at retail in North America on June 6.

The internet was last week set alight for a few brief moment as John Lewis offered an unbelievable discount on Wii U hardware.
On offer was a Wii U Basic console along with a copy of New Super Mario Bros U and 8GB SD card for just £112 – less than half of the retailer’s list price.
However, the retailer has now told Eurogamer that none of the customers who managed to secure the bundle actually received the goods.
"Unfortunately an error resulted in this line incorrectly going live on our website and its availability as 'in stock'," a spokesperson said. "As a result, we could not fulfil any orders.
"In most instances, the funds had not been taken from customer accounts, but a small number of accounts were unfortunately charged. All customers have been contacted via email, explaining that the item is not in stock, and if they have already been charged for the purchase, a full refund will be given.
"John Lewis apologises to all those affected by this error and any inconvenience caused."

No more online multiplayer for Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros Brawl

As it was foretold, the end is upon us - or at least, it's upon those of us using a Wii or DS to play online games. Nintendo announced back in March that May 20, 2014 would signal the end of online service for games on the Wii and DS systems, and that day has come. Or, depending on when you read this, is rapidly approaching.
If you want to get in one last match or download any DLC for the games affected by the blackout, this is your last chance. Not sure if your favorite game is affected? Check Nintendo's full list. Note that this is not your last chance to watch Netflix or Hulu using your Wii. Those services will continue, at least for the prophesied foreseeable future.

Nintendo emerged victorious this week from a patent infringement lawsuit filed five years ago, after a US District Court dismissed the case outright. Alleged patent troll Wall Wireless sued Nintendo as well as Sony and Nokia in 2009, claiming the companies contravened its patent for the "method and apparatus for creating and distributing real-time interactive media content through wireless communication networks and the internet."
Unfortunately for Wall Wireless, the US Patent and Trademark Office canceled all of the company's relevant patent claims upon re-examination, leaving the case without a leg to stand on. According to Nintendo, the Japanese Patent Office found the company's products didn't infringe on Wall Wireless' patent either. While there's no word from Sony or Nokia on the matter, it seems unlikely either company has much to worry about.

Nintendo is inviting 3000 fans to watch its Super Smash Bros. E3 invitational tournament live in Los Angeles next month. The event features mascot melee on Wii U between 16 select players, and while it is being live-streamed on Twitch, you can watch it in the flesh as long as you're prepared to get up early and wait a good long while.
Starting at 9:30AM on June 10, Nintendo is distributing 3000 wristbands from the Nokia Plaza at 777 Chick Hearn Court on a first-come first-served basis. That said, Nintendo requests no queues before Tuesday morning so there's no need to pack those sleeping bags. Then it's a wait until the afternoon with doors opening at 2:30PM and the tournament kicking off at 4PM.

Did you know the blue ‘spiny’ shell in Mario Kart can now be stopped?
I didn’t. Nintendo UK’s Mario brand manager Roger Langford revealed this to me in our interview this week. A new special item can stop the shell (which for the six people who don’t know mercilessly hunts down the player in pole position and blows up) in its tracks.
It’s just one of the many little things Mario Kart 8 does that goes beyond just sprucing up Nintendo’s iconic racing series with pretty visuals. There’s the new online mode, the Mario Kart TV option (which lets gamers make their own highlights reel and upload it to YouTube), the anti-gravity feature…and although I dismissed ‘just sprucing up’ the visuals two sentences ago, the game is arguably one of the most graphically stunning titles Nintendo has created.
“Mario Kart 8 really harnesses the capability of Wii U, it has HD graphics and runs at 60 frames per second constantly in single and multiplayer,” boasts Langford.
“There are lots of tweaks in the game that on the face of it might not sound like much. But we are looking to seed these bits out to the core Mario Kart fans via our online and social media campaign, and get that word-of-mouth and buzz up to launch. So that when we get to release day, we have the big TV campaign to make the big splash, but also the fans are raring to go.”
“Mario Kart is one of our killer titles. Looking back at
Super Mario Kart and then moving through the ages,
you can see how integral Mario Kart is to Nintendo
hardware. It always brings out the best in whatever
hardware it is on. Super Mario Kart was one of the first
two-player racing games out at the time. The N64
version was one of the first to allow four-player split-
screen play. Then the DS version encouraged wireless
download play, and Wii had its online functionality.” Roger Langford, Nintendo UK
It is no real surprise that Nintendo has gone to town on its eighth Mario Kart game. It is one of the most successful franchises in Nintendo’s arsenal.
The last console Mario Kart, the Wii edition, is still amongst the best-selling video games in UK history, and worldwide the franchise has now sold around 100m units.
But it’s not just a commercially important game, says Langford.
“Mario Kart is one of our killer titles. Looking back at Super Mario Kart and then moving through the ages, you can see how integral Mario Kart is to Nintendo hardware. It always brings out the best in whatever hardware it is on.
“Super Mario Kart was one of the first two-player racing games out at the time. The N64 version was one of the first to allow four-player split-screen play. Then the DS version encouraged wireless download play, and Wii had its online functionality.”
Mario Kart 8 is also a bit of a rarity in today’s games market: it’s a multiplayer game that you can play against others in the same room as you. So there are certainly plenty of selling points to Mario Kart 8.
Yet in truth the game’s battle isn’t whether it’s a good enough to win over fans (it’s already scored a 9/10 from Edge). It’s whether it is good enough to get people to buy Wii U.
Mario Kart 8 arrives on a console seriously struggling for momentum. Is this the game to fix that?
“I certainly feel that Mario Kart 8 can be the catalyst that will broaden Wii U’s horizons,” says Langford. “It’s very important for us that we have a successful launch and continue the promotion throughout the year and beyond.”
“I certainly feel that Mario Kart 8 can be the
catalyst that will broaden Wii U’s horizons.
It’s very important for us that we have a
successful launch and continue the
promotion throughout the year and beyond.” Roger Langford, Nintendo UK Of course Mario Kart is popular, and it will sell some hardware. Nintendo is even offering a bundle to make sure of that. But is it a system seller by itself? I’ve always felt Mario Kart is everyone’s second Nintendo game. Consumers’ primary reason for spending money on a Nintendo machine might be for Zelda or a Mario platformer, and Mario Kart acts as that important secondary reason. I can’t imagine many people spending £250 just to play Mario Kart.
That’s why Nintendo’s decision to give away one of ten games to anyone that buys Mario Kart 8 (before July 31st) might just prove crucial as to whether it sells Wii Us in a significant quantity or not.
“That offer lends itself perfectly to those people looking to buy into Wii U,” concludes Langford.
“You pick up the Mario Kart 8 bundle, and you can also download Wii Party U or Nintendo Land if you’re getting it for the family, or if you’re a Mario fan you can get New Super Mario Bros U. We also cater for more core gamers, as well, with Monster Hunter 3 and The Wonderful 101. We are offering that variety because Mario Kart 8 does attract such a broad demographic.”
