Other courses include one set in ancient ruins in a jungle, another in the desert and a track in the clouds. Rosalina will be playable in Mario Kart 8, and the trailer also shows off various vehicle types: In addition to the standard karts and bikes, there are UFOs and ATVs.

Mario Kart 8 will be released next spring on Wii U.

Super Mario Galaxy’s Princess Rosalina and her companion star-creature Luma will join the roster of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS, it was announced today in a Nintendo Direct presentation.

The colors featured in those clusters almost always match, making it “harder to get a game over,” according to Nintendo president Satoru Iwata.

The new release features the original nine-hole course seen in prior iterations of the game, as well as courses based on Nintendo’s 25 year-old title Golf first released to the Nintendo Entertainment System. in 1984.

The game will begin distributing online later today, and Wii U owners who have the automatic software downloads feature enabled will find the software already on their Wii U menu screen. Additionally, a 24-hour free trial will be made available.

The Wii U version of Sonic: Lost World is getting two exclusive add-ons, one of which is a Yoshi-themed level that is available now as free DLC, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata announced today during a Nintendo Direct presentation.

Nintendo is gifting a free Celebi pokemon to users who access the Pokemon Bank before Sept. 30, 2014, it was announced during today’s Nintendo Direct conference.

Both the Pokemon Bank and Pokemon Transporter apps will become available for Nintendo 3DS on Dec. 27; however, users can access a 30-day free trial until Jan. 31. The Celebi pokemon can also be accessed by those who are only using the trial version.

Iwata announced the existence of a new 3DS Kirby game during a previous Nintendo Direct. Kirby Triple Deluxe will be the first Kirby title on the 3DS.

Depth is a key element of Kirby Triple Deluxe: “The stage stretches into the distance beyond where Kirby is currently walking,” said Iwata, as gameplay footage showed Kirby transitioning between the foreground and background in the side-scrolling platformer. Kirby will be equipped with a number of new copy abilities, as well as one special move, Hyper Nova. This powered-up version of Kirby’s usual inhale ability allows Kirby to change the environment and open up new paths.

Chibi-Robo, the robotic star of his own GameCube platform-adventure title, is getting a Nintendo 3DS eShop follow-up titled Chibi-Robo: Photo Finder early next year.

The game stars the electricity-powered scavenger once again, who this time is working for the curator of a museum dedicated to real-life objects called Nostal-Junk. In order to help fill the museum, players must take Chibi-Robo on a photo hunt, taking pictures of objects in their real world surroundings to fill various mission requests from a colorful cast of characters. The title will still feature the same power requirement as the last — if Chibi goes too long without plugging in, it’s game over.

A sequel to Yoshi’s Island, Yoshi’s New Island, is coming to Nintendo 3DS in spring 2014, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata announced today in a Nintendo Direct presentation.

Platformer Yoshi’s New Island is being headed by Takashi Tezuka, creative director of 1995 SNES title Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island.

The game is being developed by longtime series producer Eiji Aonuma.

Hyrule Warriors will launch in 2014.
