Nintendo Land's New Attractions Revealed

Nintendo has revealed three new games for Nintendo Land ahead of Wii U's Nov. 18 launch.

The company announced the following three games -

* Yoshi's Fruit Cart - The game uses the TV screen as its second display. The player has to make way for Yoshi to follow using the console's touch screen. The obstacles on the course and fruits to be collected are displayed only on the TV screen.

* Captain Falcon's Twister Race - It is based on the F-Zero racing franchise. Players use the GamePad as a steering wheel which must be held vertically. The races will be time-based and obstacles like speed spikes, whirlwinds, bombs and other vehicles will present themselves along the way.

* Octopus Dance - This game is based on Game & Watch Octopus. It is a rhythm game where a player uses Control Sticks or the Gyro Sensor on the GamePad. Players must memorize and then replicate the actions on the screen. Players must be ready to switch between the screens, as one might offer a better view than the other.

Yoshi's Fruit Cart, Captain Falcon's Twister Race and Octopus Dance are single player games.
