Dairy Milk and Ratatouille - the perfect evening.

I've just talked Mrs N's ear off about Nintendo Land and now I'm loading up videos of it. No joke - it's my most anticipated Wii U game.

I see the 3DS eShop in Europe has been updated with 3D trailers of NSMB2, Luigi's Mansion and Paper Mario. DOWNLOAD ALL THE TRAILERS!

Mad dogs, spider-men, mega men and more

A good all-round week for North America: 3DS gets an ageing arcade game, a demo and a 3DS Virtual Console game, DSiWare is graced with a music-themed take on the Plants vs. Zombies formula and Wii owners get a VC game too.

3DS Virtual Console

Donkey Kong Jr. (NES, Nintendo, $4.99) — A rare appearance from Kong the younger. Mario has captured Donkey Kong, and you have to come to the rescue. Already released to 3DS Ambassadors, we'll have a review soon.

eShop

Mad Dog McCree (Digital Leisure, $7.99) — This 'classic' arcade light gun game uses full motion video to bring the Wild West to life, which means bad acting and worse dialogue. Will it be any good on 3DS? We'll tell you in our upcoming review.

Wii Virtual Console

Mega Man X2 (Super NES, Capcom, 800pts) — Another cracking 16-bit adventure for Mega Man, who could seemingly do no wrong in those days. Check out our Mega Man X2 review for the full scoop.

3DS Demo

The Amazing Spider-Man — He spins a web in the night, and now he can do it in 3D with a sticky slice of Activision's upcoming adventure.

DSiWare

Devil Band: Rock the Underworld (CIRCLE, 200pts) — It's like Plants vs. Zombies but with musicians and lots more tapping. We'll have a full review for you soon.

7 Wonders II (MumboJumbo, 800pts) — You can already buy 7 Wonders II on DS but MumboJumbo's decided to put the game on DSiWare too. We expect it's very similar to the retail version, so read our 7 Wonders II DS review as you eagerly await our verdict on the DSiWare release.

That's all for this week lads and lasses. What will you be buying? Let us know in our Facebook poll.

Update: Pre-orders cancelled

Update: Amazon has cancelled pre-orders for the Wii U, saying "the product was listed in error". Bad luck, everyone.

We had a feeling that Amazon listing Wii U for £199.99 was too good to be true, and now the retailer's taken down its cheap listing.

The Wii U product page now generates a 404 error, with the Wii U white page not offering any prices.

Whether Amazon will honour its cheap pre-order is anyone's guess, but some of you may remember Tesco cancelling customer orders when it 'mistakenly' listed the Nintendo 3DS for far cheaper than its RRP.

Really enjoyed my time with Wii U. GamePad is comfy, its screen is sharp and it feels good. Living up to my high expectations so far!

Game & Wario's Thief minigame is amazing and surprisingly stressful! Nintendo Land attractions also very fun, esp. Zelda.

VF5FS has music from all past VFs in it. Kicking Shun's ass with Sarah (dressed as Ulala) as her VF2 theme plays. Total @SEGA bliss.

Go Figma

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword's interpretation of Link gets immortalised in resin later this year, when Japanese manufacturer Max Factory puts out its Master Sword Link figurine.

The ¥3,800 statue — that's about £30 or $47 — comes with Link, a Master Sword and Hylian Shield (of course), as well as an effects piece for his sword that gives the impression of a powerful slash. Link himself is poseable, with changeable expressions and even articulated toes, a first for a Figma.

There's also a Metroid: Other M Samus Aran statue in the works, but we've only seen her in her box so far.

Pack away the bunting

It seems like just last week we were celebrating that Wii U won't have Friend Codes, but it seems our fireworks and streamers were a bit premature. Nintendo of America president and honorary purple Pikmin Reggie Fils-Aime has told Kotaku Wii U will have friend codes, but they'll be different.

By the sounds of things, you'll be able to interact with the general Miiverse populace without adding their Friend Codes — think the game-specific message boards — but adding users to your friends list will give you more options. Fils-Aime says:

There are friend codes, but it's not the existing friend code system, What do I mean by that? Here's what I mean: you will be able to identify people as friends and have a certain level of interaction vs. a different level of interaction for the more general population. The method by which you identify someone as a friend is a lot simpler than what's happening today with Friend Codes.

Depending on your opinion on Friend Codes, "a lot simpler" could mean anything from unique usernames to drawing a six-foot sigil on the side of a mountain. Clearly from all the confusion surrounding the divisive digits Nintendo still has plenty to communicate, so hopefully we'll hear more soon.
