Nintendo Land: Screens, art and fact sheet
Nintendo Land is a fun and lively theme park filled with 12 different attractions, each with
its own take on a Nintendo franchise. Each attraction features unique and innovative
game-play experiences made possible by the Wii U GamePad controller. Depending on
the attraction, players can compete solo or 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 every time, depending on whether players are
using the GamePad, holding a Wii Remote or just watching others play on the TV screen.
FEATURES:
• Donkey Kong’s Crash Course: Using the GamePad’s motion control, players tilt the controller to
guide a fragile rolling cart through an obstacle course that resembles the original Donkey Kong
arcade game. This single-player game lets other spectators watch the action on the TV and offer
advice about how to pass the next obstacle.
• Luigi’s Ghost Mansion: The player with the GamePad is a ghost (invisible to others) who is trying
to capture up to four humans armed with flashlights. The ghost must sneak around the
environment by staying in the shadows and try to catch them one by one. The humans can work
together to revive fallen comrades before the ghost catches everyone. If all four humans are
caught before they are revived, the ghost wins. But if they are successful at shining their
flashlights on the ghost long enough to reduce its hit points to zero, the humans win.
• Animal Crossing™: Sweet Day: The player holding the Wii U GamePad controls two guards who
are in charge of safeguarding a candy orchard from a group of candy-loving animals. Up to four
other players, using the Wii Remote controllers to control these animals, must work together to
outwit – and outrun – the guards. The game ends when a combined total of 50 pieces of candy
are collected, or when the guards catch any one of the animals three times.
• The Legend of Zelda™: Battle Quest: The player with the GamePad is an archer who can aim
and shoot arrows using the screen as a view finder. That player is joined by up to three others
who wield Wii Remote Plus controllers like swords. Players work together to take on a variety of
enemies in a world that looks like a cloth version of a game from The Legend of Zelda series.
• Takamaru’s Ninja Castle: Based on an early Famicom game available only in Japan, this
single-player game turns the GamePad into a launcher for ninja stars. Players swipe the
controller’s touch screen to take out an ever-growing army of ninja attackers, earning more
points for consecutive hits. Moving the GamePad around at different angles enables the player
to take aim in an intuitive fashion.
• Seven other attractions will be announced at a later date.
