Nintendo prepares Wii U Holiday lineup

A new Nintendo Direct video has revealed more details about the company's plans for its Wii U console in the coming months.

Super Mario 3D World contains a ton of fresh power-ups, like cherries that allow players to duplicate their characters, in addition to the series-first Cat transformation. The game is now expected to arrive on November 22.

Sonic has been confirmed as a playable character in the upcoming fighting game Super Smash Bros, which is scheduled to launch for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS in 2014.

Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games will launch exclusively for Wii U on Nov. 15. For the first time in the Mario & Sonic series, players from around the world can take the action online and compete with others from around the world. The game will be available as standalone software in the Nintendo eShop and in stores.

Finally, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze will now launch in February 2014 to allow for more development time. Created by Retro Studios, the series’ first Wii U installment stars Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong as they go head-to-head against invaders from the northern seas who have taken over Donkey Kong Island.
