Sin & Punishment arrived on the US Virtual Console last week, and thanks to the trailer below uploaded by Nintendo UK’s Youtube channel, we now know that it’s being released in Europe this week, on September 3rd.

Check out a new official Super Mario Maker video from Nintendo’s Japanese Youtube channel, this time focusing on pipes:

Sin & Punishment: Star Successor finally launched on the North American Wii U eShop this past Thursday. For a look at it in action, check out the video below.

In September 2013, Tecmo Bowl previously came to the 3DS Virtual Console. It could soon be Wii U’s turn to have the game as well. The ESRB has rated Tecmo Bowl for Nintendo’s console, which hints at a release in the near future.

On its Twitter account, Nintendo of America confirmed that VS. Excitebike is due out tomorrow. The message is as follows:


It’s pretty unusual to see a Virtual Console release on a day other than Thursday. I’m absolutely fine with it though!

Another round of footage showing Sin & Punishment on the Wii U Virtual Console has come in. View the latest video of the title below.

Year Walk has launched on a couple of platforms already, but next month, it will debut on Wii U. Simogo co-founder Simon Flesser told Nintendo World Report that he feels it’s the best version of the game.

Flesser said:

“All versions of the game have specific things I like about them, but I think the Wii U version is the best version for me. If you didn’t know about the PC or iOS versions, you’d think ‘this is such a Wii U game’. Me and Magnus from Simogo and Rob from Dakko Dakko, we like to design for specific platforms or specific interfaces.”

Year Walk will incorporate motion controls on Wii U, and the GamePad essentially turns into a censor. Flesser spoke about this decision decision, noting:

“We wanted it to feel as fresh and new as possible, and we didn’t want a simple put it on the GamePad and add touch controls – we wanted it to feel new. Rob proposed because on the PC version you use the mouse to look around and control the pointer, obviously you don’t have a pointer with the GamePad and we didn’t want to do the simple touch. Rob from Dakko Dakko came up with the idea of motion controls to control the cursor, then everything fell into place because you have natural motion interactions with all the different gadgets you find in the world.”

Year Walk will be hitting the Wii U eShop on September 17.
