Super Smash Bros Wii U/3DS DLC

Lucas from SSBB

While Nintendo announced plans to implement Mewtwo as special DLC for Super Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS, they recently announced plans to implement other DLC as well, including characters such as Lucas from Mother 3 and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Lucas and Mewtwo both appeared in previous SSB games; Mewtwo appeared in Melee. In addition, other DLC will include special costumes for the Mii Fighters.

The possibility of future DLC seems promising, with Nintendo also running promotional polls to decide which other characters players would like added to the already large roster of fighters.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3D released, Xenoblade Chronicles X trailer

With the remake of Xenoblade Chronicles for the 3DS released on the 10th, it serves to revisit the news of the spiritual sequel Xenoblade Chronicles X coming to the Wii U in the near future.

Rodea the Sky Soldier Announced

A strange new game was announced with a trailer, in Japanese. Yuji Naka, famous creator of Sonic the Hedgehog and former head of Sonic Team, leads the creation of this new IP. While not technically stunning (it will also be released for the Wii console apparently), it appears to be a fast-paced flight-based action platformer in which the player controls the main character Rodea with the touch screen of the Wii U or 3DS or Wii remote on the Wii. Also: J-pop.
