On the Wii U side, Nintendo revealed that Rosalina - the Luma caretaker/storyteller from 'Super Mario Galaxy' - will be an unlockable playable character in 'Super Mario 3D World.' There will also be unlockable "coin train" levels that (dangerously) resemble the money-grubbing ethos of 'New Super Mario Bros.

The biggest bit of news actually concerns both platforms: a unified Nintendo Network ID resulting in a single eShop account/balance. Nintendo webcast another of its 'Nintendo Direct' videos, and while the video game giant had said before hand that it would be focused on its 3DS handheld, there were some interesting tidbits regarding its Wii U big brother.
