Kingdom Hearts series director, Tetsuya Nomura, has revealed in the latest edition of Nintendo Power that Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance will have a “surprise” at the end of the game.

“For starters, there’s going to be some sort of a “surprise” during the end credits of the game. Nomura shares: “This is the first time we’re doing this, but there’s a surprise during the end credits. So even when the credits start to roll, don’t put down your N3DS, and don’t let your guard down!”

US gaming publication Nintendo Power has reviewed both Super Mario 3D Land for Nintendo 3DS and Rayman Origins for the Wii. Surprisingly Ubisoft’s Rayman Origins has scored higher than Nintendo’s very own Super Mario 3D Land. Here’s some of the details direct from Nintendo Power issue 273:
Super Mario 3D Land: 9/10
+Different and great styles of Mario platforming for everyone
+Great 3D-More advanced moves (long jump, somersaults) are completely optional.
-Not very creativeOverall: “A true triple-A title…Natural evolution of the series…Not as much content as Galaxies but still tons..Blows away all of the previous handheld Marios.”
Rayman Origins: 9.5/10
+Beautiful art
+Inspired soundtrack that amplifies the manic atmosphere
+Nothing plain or boring
+Extremely fluid
+Some of the “tightest” level design in the reviewers’ 26 year experience with platformers
+Great at creating sense of momentum
+Perfect difficult
+Great multiplayer
+Always introducing new conceptsOverall: “Best Rayman game ever made. A platforming masterpiece.”
The latest edition of Nintendo Power reveals a few additional characters for Mario Kart 7. We already know about a couple of them but it looks as though Nintendo has included Wriggler and Honey Queen to the line-up. I had the fortune to play the game a few weeks back and I can safely say it’s shaping up to be something quite special.
