Hasta La Gadget!

You might not have been invited to any Halloween parties until now, but fret not – who needs friends who do not care about how you feel when you can spend your time in front of the TV in your living room with Wii Party U as the game launches on the Wii U platform later this October 25th? That is just tomorrow, and I am quite sure that with more than 80 mini games to play, multiple party modes as well as a special game play which truly showcases the creative power of the Wii U GamePad controller, it will be a fun time indeed between you and your best friend(s). Never mind about getting all the props for a party up and running, all you need is enough snacks and drinks to go around, comfortable beanie chairs and you are good to go.

Wii Party U will offer a party for every kind of player, ranging from board games that are centered on the television to tabletop games which can be played exclusively on the GamePad, without the need for any TV at all – now how about that?

There is TV Party Mode, House Party Mode and GamePad Party Mode to choose from. Not only that, Wii Party U will feature many other modes which allows players to select quick-play mini-game challenges, receive activity suggestions based on the current number of players and view archives that display records and Amazing Feats. The asking price for Wii Party U is $49.99 as it arrives bundled with a Wii Remote Plus controller and the GamePad horizontal stand.

Fans of video games will most probably know just how popular the Mario franchise is to Nintendo, as it is an integral part of the company.

Thanks to advancements in technology that allow us to view stuff like trailers, we now bring you the latest Super Mario 3D World trailer that interestingly enough, does seem to feature its fair share of cat costumes.

The trailer itself will be in Japanese entirely, where it depicts just how some four-player gameplay action will be like on debut Wii U Mario title. In this particular trailer, it also depicts each character’s special moves in addition to being all decked out in cat costumes. When it comes to Mario, his special ability does seem to be his famous bounce attack, while Luigi boasts of the ability to jump extra high, with Princess Peach floating around, while Toad, the smallest member of the group, is able to dash about. Considering they are all wearing cat costumes, all of them will be able to perform claw and slide attacks in addition to climb vertical surfaces.

There are also other transformations that would make up part of the game, where among them include Double Mario, Giant Mario, various boxes, in addition to favourites such as Fire Mario and Tanooki Mario. Expect Super Mario 3D Land to arrive in North America on November 22 in Europe on November 29.
