Nintendo Land: Difference between revisions

'''Nintendo Land''' is a video game for the [[Nintendo Wii U|Wii U]] that was created to demonstrate the capabilities of the Wii U and the Wii U GamePad. It includes 12 mini-games based off [[Nintendo]] franchises. These mini games include ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Battle Quest]]'', Pikmin Adventure, Metroid Blast, Mario Chase, Luigi's Ghost Mansion, Animal Crossing: Sweet Day, Yoshi's Fruit Cart, Octopus Dance, Donkey Kong's Crash Course, Takamaru's Ninja Castle, Captain Falcon's Twister Race, and Balloon Trip Breeze.  

Animal Crossing: Sweet Day is a mini game based on the ''Animal Crossing'' series in which one player, using the GamePad, chases the other player as the police, while the other player (using the Wiimote) tries to pick up and return candy without being caught.  

This ''Nintendo Land'' game is from ''Yoshi's Adventure''. In this game, one must ride a Yoshi kart by drawing a line on the Game Pad to the door, collecting all the fruit along the way and avoiding all obstacles. However, only so much fruit is allowed between fruit, otherwise the player runs out of energy and it's game over. There are special doors that take Yoshi a certain amount of stages forward and grant a special power up. The only things displayed on the TV screen are doors and the Yoshi kart. Everything else is shown on the Game Pad.

This game is about copying the dancer's moves exactly, earning a "perfect" or a "good". The player can either look at the Game Pad or the TV screen, but the dancer sometimes references the way they are facing. Additionally, a squid comes down and sprays ink on one of the screens. This game is in in a 3/4 orientation, meaning every "round" is 3 moves in a row. Each "round" gets faster.

=== Donkey Kong's Crash Course ===

=== Takamaru's Ninja Castle ===

This fast-paced game is based off Nintendo's ''F-Zero'' staring Captain Falcon. The player holds the Wii U Game Pad vertically and tilts left or right to turn down the track. Tapping the screen allows the car to slow down. Each stage is timed, and if the checkered link is not reached before time is up, the race is over. There are two other ways to game over: hitting red spikes, which are very common in the last four stages, or flying off the track by hitting a rainbow ramp at an angle. There are 12 stages in all, each having its own challenge.
