However Nintendo have gone all out for this title, including a new microphone feature. Players can use the microphone, bundled with the game, to play various mini-games and will add a whole new dimension of game play to the series.

As well as this Nintendo have implemented 80 new mini-games, 50 items to buy in the shop and a new day and night mode. The day and night mode promises to change the game play depending on which time it is in.
