Well today, Nintendo presented some new gameplay during Nico Nico Chokaigi, it was a live multiplayer race, and the only thing I have to say is that those people need, some heavy teaching, when it comes to Mario Kart .

The races begin at around 15:00

Just letting my fellow Nintendo buddies know, I'll be leaving yet again. I've got some stuff I need to focus on and I'll be gone for about a month or so.

I'll probably be back around E3 so I'll talk to you all then :)

Ah, so you're enjoying Xenoblade are you? It's not like it's possible to not enjoy it I suppose...such an excellent title. Where are you at? Makna Forest maybe? 

Since April is almost over, I'd thought I'd give a review of what happened in the World of Nintendo for the past month. First, I'll do releases and I'll do a short news review tomorrow

Nintendo explains why Kirby is always angry on the US boxart

"For the Japanese versions we are, at [Kirby series developer] HAL, involved in everything throughout development, including the package design. The most powerful image of Kirby is that cute image, we think that's the one that appeals to the widest audience. While it does start cute, we know there is a serious side to Kirby as well, and throughout the gameplay we see more and more of that, and the games themselves have quite a bit of depth. That being said, we recognise that Kirby's cuteness is his biggest draw in [the Japanese] market. What we have heard is that strong, tough Kirby that's really battling hard is a more appealing sign of Kirby, so that's what we feature in the US."
