The Wii software library is pretty much on life support right now. So, what will power the respirator? Gamecube, of course.
Nintendo has announced two new additions to the Wii library. Coming June 10th are Wii re-releases of two Gamecube classics: Mario Power Tennis and Pikmin 2. Best of all, they join the "Nintendo Selects" line, meaning they'll be available for $19.99 each.
Hot on the heels of its Midnight Purple 3DS announcement, Nintendo has detailed more features for Mario Tennis Open -- set to launch the same day as the new color. The announcement includes more info on the game's multiplayer, plus some unlockable characters.
You may be enjoying your 3DS, with it's relatively small but quality library, SpotPass feature to be exploited at PAX, and loads of free games if you were a sucker. But we know that deep down, you wish that the system could match your Prince outfit during your weekly 90s pop-star cosplay parties. Nintendo knows too, which is surely the explanation for the new Midnight Purple 3DS.
The original Super Mario Bros. is nearly 27 years old. Yet, Nintendo continues to come up with new ways of remixing the iconic 8-bit classic. The legendary platformer is making yet another appearance--this time, in Mario Tennis Open for 3DS.
Nintendo's latest entry in the long-running Mario Tennis franchise includes a "Special Games" mode that adds new tennis gimmicks. Super Mario Tennis, for example, lets you replay levels from the NES game using tennis swings.
The previously-teased Mario Tennis game for 3DS now has a title and a date. Mario Tennis Open will be available on May 20th. The latest iteration of the long-running sports franchise is being developed (once again) by Camelot, the team responsible for the original Mario Tennis on N64.
"Mario Power Tennis is not new to the Wii library, it is simply being added to the Nintendo ..."
