There was a serious selection process.

WarioWare Gold on the 3DS is arguably the definitive Warioware collection with the inclusion of the best 300 microgames covering every title in the series from the original 2003 Game Boy Advance release to the slightly more recent 2013 Wii U game.

As fantastic as the new microgame collection is, there are probably plenty of people out there thinking it’s a quick cash grab on Wario’s behalf – with Nintendo simply adding the best existing minigames to the new title and then releasing it. In an email interview with Kotaku, WarioWare Gold Director Goro Abe revealed how grueling the process actually was. It turns out it’s a lot more than just a remaster – with a lot of effort going into it:

Uh-oh.

Ubisoft’s space shooter Starlink: Battle for Atlas is now available on the Nintendo Switch. As more and more people purchase the new toys-to-life game, it’s been discovered a number of packages in the US have been shipped without the game case and card. At this point in time the issue appears to be isolated to starter pack versions of the game purchased from Best Buy.

Ubisoft is now aware of the problem and has released a statement to Polygon advising anyone who has not received the game to contact its customer service:

151 to find and challenge.

This week has seen more Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Let’s Go, Eevee! news appearing in front of us than those pesky wild Zubat in the murky depths of Mt. Moon, but we’ve got yet another trailer for you which shows off one of the game’s most recently-revealed features (with a nice little nod to the anime at the end, too).

Earlier this week, we discovered that Master Trainers would be a part of the new games, acting as a way to give players more things to do around the nostalgic routes and cities of Kanto. More details soon came to light, revealing that there will be 151 of these trainers, and each one will specialise in training one particular kind of Pokémon.

But there are pros and cons.

Originally releasing as a launch title for the GameCube back in 2001, Luigi’s Mansion has just been reworked for a release on Nintendo 3DS, launching in North America last week and in Europe tomorrow. It’s an interesting little project – what was a launch title for one console is arriving at the very latter stages of another, and Nintendo has employed the help of Grezzo (the studio behind the 3DS ports of Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask) to do just that.

Things get more interesting thanks to the fact that Luigi’s Mansion was a game that was originally designed for stereoscopic 3D, but never saw this be realised due to the limitations of the technology at the time; the 3DS is finally offering the game that chance it so desperately desired all those years ago. It’s still a blast to play, too; we said that the new release is “as fun now as it was when the GameCube launched” in our review, and we’re sure players will agree.

Black Ops 4 steals top spot.

Super Mario Party has just faced its second week in stores, and Japanese figures (from 8th – 14th October) report that its sales have remained relatively high, despite dropping to second place in the charts.

The new rival taking over that prized top spot is, of course, the newly-released Call of Duty: Black Ops IIII, selling a very impressive 228,775 retail sales in the region. For the sake of comparison, Super Mario Party managed 142,868 sales in its first week, with this week’s total at a lower number of 63,451.
