Nintendo's Greatest Game Worlds in One Giant Theme Park
-------------------------------------------------------
Nintendo Land is a fun and lively virtual theme park filled with
attractions based on popular Nintendo game worlds. Each
attraction features unique and innovative gameplay experiences
made possible by the Wii U GamePad controller. Depending on the
attraction, players can choose to play solo, compete against
other players, or even team up to play cooperatively. Up to five
players can participate in dynamic multiplayer modes in select
attractions. The experiences change depending on whether players
are using the Wii U GamePad, a Wii Remote controller or just
watching others play on the TV screen. However you choose to
play, a whole new realm of fun awaits on the Wii U with Nintendo
Land.
Key Game Features
-----------------
* Nintendo Land features fun-filled theme park attractions based
on Nintendo's greatest game worlds, including Mario Chase, The
Legend of Zelda: Battle Quest, Pikmin Adventure and more. There
are 12 attractions in all.
* Different activities take advantage of the second screen of the
new Wii U Gamepad controller in different ways. For example,
simply slide a finger across the touch screen to seamlessly fire
ninja stars in the action-based Takamaru's Ninja Castle. In
Donkey Kong's C Course, tilt the GamePad left and right to
safely navigate an elaborate obstacle course.
* Dynamic multiplayer that offers different experiences in the
same game. Even in the same attraction, the player using the
GamePad will have a completely different experience than players
using the TV: In Luigi's Ghost Mansion, the player using the
GamePad is able to control a ghost invisible to players using the
TV. In Metroid Blast, the player with the GamePad controls an
aerial ship versus the ground-based players using the TV.
* The attractions are easy to pick up and play, but also contains
deeper levels of play that are sure to challenge even the most
experienced gamers. Metroid Blast, for example, contains a deep
mission mode as well as a competitive surface-air combat mode.
* Attractions are grouped into three types: * Team Attractions
like Metroid Blast and The Legend of Zelda: Battle Quest that
offer depth and challenge for 1 to 5 players.
* Competitive Attractions like Mario Chase and Animal Crossing:
Sweet Day where 2 to 5 players compete against each other.
* Solo Attractions like Takamaru's Ninja Castle, Donkey Kong's
C Course and Balloon Trip Breeze, that offer simple but fun
and engaging play for one player.
* Each attraction has multiple fun challenges designed to keep
visitors coming back for more. Players will receive stamps upon
completing special challenges.
* The game includes Miiverse functionality to maximize
customization and fun (broadband Internet access required).
