Bowser and Donkey Kong will be making appearances in new physical figures that feature BOTH Skylanders and Amiibo functionality.

Nintendo and Vicarious Visions have announced two exclusive Skylander Amiibo figures for the upcoming game, Skylanders SuperChargers.

Hammer Slam Bowser and Turbo Charged Donkey Kong will be made available, both of which will feature unique moves and vehicles for them to utilise.

The two figures can change modes via a twist of the base. This allows the figures to act as either a regular Amiibo, or as a Skylander.

New transforming vehicles, the game's unique perspectives via the Wii U GamePad, and more were revealed in the Nintendo Digital Event.

The Nintendo Digital event kicked off with first details for Star Fox Zero.

The game uses the GamePad to aim in smaller areas and the gyro for camera views, while showing third-person view of the craft on the TV. The game features flying Landmasters, transformable mobile Arwing walkers, and a gyro-copter for exploration based missions.

Drop a dollar and you can use the 3DS as a controller without owning Smash 3DS.

Hidden in Sunday's Smash Brothers update was an option to use a 3DS as a Wii U controller without the 3DS game.

The application, available on the 3DS eShop for $0.99, replicates the functionality of the 3DS to Wii U control option. Owners of the 3DS version do not need to download this application.

The first Western 3rd party announcement for Wii U of the show.

Just Dance 2016 has been announced for the Wii U and Wii today at Ubisoft's E3 press conference.

Coming to "all motion consoles" this fall, the game was demonstrated through a live musical performance by Jason Derulo, and will feature the ability to use a smartphone as an alternate controller for the game.

Check out their demos, then some new announcements!

Update: A previous version of the article mistakenly credited Dawn Bennett as the developer. Bennett is a voice actress in the game, the game is actually developed by the team at Galaxy Trail. We apologize for the confusion.

Some indie titles have had new updates ahead of E3, including a couple in the Nindie E3 demo program.

Nine games, one week to download them, discounts after launch. UPDATE: Europe gets it as well!

Nintendo and several independent developers have teamed up to provide demos of indie games during E3.

The demos will be available to download for one week starting today (June 15) and are already on the eShop. Downloading the demos will give the same NNID 15% off the games when the final product launches.

A quick name change and we're good to go.

During the grand finals of the Nintendo World Championship, the game previously known as Mario Maker received its final title.

Now known as Super Mario Maker, the finals showed off a full set of levels from the Nintendo Treehouse in the game's four main disciplines: Super Mario Bros, Super Mario Bros 3, Super Mario World and New Super Mario U.

The winner of this bout, and NEW Nintendo World Champion...

For the first time since 1990, someone wears the crown of the Nintendo World Champion.

John "John Numbers" Goldberg triumphed over a series of invited guests and national qualifiers to become the champion, defeating Cosmo Walker in the final round of head-to-head Super Mario Maker.

The tournament format saw 16 players compete in a serious of elimination challenges leading up to the grand final.

Soccer in space with mechs.

The 2nd round of the Nintendo World Championships featured the debut of a new 3DS game called Blast Ball.

The game features 3v3 multiplayer where each player is in a mech that uses guns to roll a ball into the goal. Each match in the championships was first to 3 goals, with a goal that gets smaller each time someone scores into it.

This is not a drill.

Shigesato Itoi appeared before the Nintendo World Championships to announce that Mother 1 would come to the Virtual Console as Earthbound Beginnings at 9pm ET / 6pm PT.

Released twenty years after Earthbound on SNES, the game was originally released in 1989 in Japan and was translated for release in North America but was never released before outside of Japan.

And what would that mean for Happy Home Designer?

An email from Nintendo Spain may have leaked a couple of Amiibo lines coming soon.

The email shows a Pixel Mario, four Animal Crossing Amiibo including K.K. Slider and Isabelle as well as the Happy Home Designer cards.

We'll be watching during E3 to see if this could lead to another Animal Crossing game aside from Happy Home Designer.

And you thought the only bombs were coming at E3? Guess again.

A weapon update for Splatoon is due this evening, just in time for a Japan Splatfest.

The update will come at the usual time of 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT, while Japanese players will get the update in the middle of their first Splatfest.
