Yes, Super Mario Bros. 3 is finally out!

This week's focus seems to be squarely on Virtual Console releases. After months of being mum on the subject, April seems to be the month that a bunch of major games are making their Wii U and Nintendo 3DS debuts. For example, there's a little art house title called Super Mario Bros. 3 making it's solemn, low key debut this week. There's also a batch of new Game Boy Advance games coming out today as well.

Using carrot guns to win a carrot trophy only makes sense.

Machete Brawl, the follow-up to q-bit's Machete, is expected to release later this year on the Wii U.

The game is about an islander family who sets up a rather interesting tournament. The prize? A Mighty Golden Carrot Trophy! Players will fight their way to the golden carrot through a variety of stages, with different weapons and bonuses included throughout. The game will also support up to 5 players for some fact-paced multiplayer action.

Own Famicom Remix? You can get a discount on the sequel!

Gamers in Japan who own Famicom Remix on Wii U will be able to receive a discount from 1,543 yen to 1,300 yen for Famicom Remix 2 on the eShop between April 24 and April 30.

The sale works the other way around, too. For gamers that purchase Famicom Remix 2 in during the campaign and do not yet have a copy of Famicom Remix, they can then purchase the original game for 1,300 yen. The sale is currently exclusive to the Wii U eShop in Japan.

Slice 'em and dice 'em.

DrinkBox Studios has announced their next game, Severed.

A non-linear action-fantasy with a warrior heroine, it's explained as a cross between Mega Man, Infinity Blade, and Mike Tyson's Punch-Out. The game seems to rely on a couple of core features, including world exploration and a control scheme reliant gesture-based inputs. For example, swiping will perform both magical spells and physical attacks.

Expiring licenses means no more Peter Pepper.

BurgerTime World Tour, the WiiWare sequel to the classic game, will soon be removed from the Wii Shop Channel due to expiring licensing agreements, according to publisher MonkeyPaw Games.

Unlike other versions of the game, World Tour will not be discounted on the Wii. The publisher stated that owners of World Tour "should still" be able to download the game even after it is removed from the shop.

Yup, again.

Code Name: S.T.E.A.M.? Your guess is as good as mine.

Nintendo recently registered a trademark entitled Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. Strike Team Eliminating the Alien Menace.

While it does suggest a new IP on Nintendo's front, this could essentially mean nothing in the long run. No details were specified other than the name.
