Wii U owners may have been a little disappointed that they’d have to wait for Pikmin 3’s launch later this year, but delaying its release may have been a great choice for Nintendo to make.  As revealed by Satoru Iwata, Pikmin 3 will now have multiple control variations to suit almost everyone’s way to play, among the new features found within the gameplay itself.

Most would agree that the Wii U loading screens haven’t been the most convenient for gamers. However, Nintendo is doing major work to improve on their system and remedy the situation. An upcoming Wii U system update will help to fix problem and speed up the load times between menus and returning to the home screen.

Nintendo’s explanation of the Wii U’s online voice chat options has left somewhat of a sour taste in our mouths, but gamers shouldn’t count out the Wii U’s online functions just yet. In a new instructional video released by Nintendo, Satoru Iwata explains the layered Wii U online system, bringing gamers up to speed for day one of launch.  We’re going try our best to explain the Wii U’s online system as simple as we can for all of you, so pay attention and let us hit you with some knowledge.

Though Nintendo was shooting for Pikmin 3 before the end of 2012, it looks like it will just make the cutoff of the Wii U’s launch window next year.

It was Nintendo’s promise to consumers that fresh, downloadable Coin Rush mode courses for New Super Mario Bros. 2 would be ready for release right up until the launch. However, nothing new in the matter has been announced and players becoming concerned that they won’t be arriving at all. Luckily, we have some reassurance from Nintendo to be patient, for the courses will be arriving shortly.
