Japan’s upcoming e-Book service for the 3DS, known as “Bookstore Anywhere”, won’t be arriving this month. Librica pushed back its release to an unspecified timeframe earlier today. With the extra time, Librica will make additional improvements to the application.

Bookstore Anywhere will provide users with manga, manga magazines, and in due time, light novels as well as regular magazines. A mix of free and paid content is planned.

We posted the video above yesterday. We’re posting it again for one reason.

55 seconds into the video, there’s a quick look showing the Wii U’s transition from the television to the GamePad. If you ask me, it seems practically instantaneous.

If all games transfer that quickly, Off-TV play will be a truly fantastic feature.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.


Update: And now George has quickly clarified that he “didn’t say news. And I didn’t say a game is being announced.” But if something is happening on Thursday… I don’t see how it can’t be news.

IGN editor Rich George teased some exciting news for the Wii U just a short while ago. In a couple of tweets, George wrote that he believes the “Wii U finally has its ‘must have’ game. It ought to be the game that sells systems, but we’ll see.”

It appears that we’ll be getting some sort of news on Thursday. George didn’t explicitly say that we’ll be hearing anything about Wii U in a couple of days, but I can’t imagine it being about anything else.

Below are George’s tweets in full:

“I know it’s a little quiet on the Nintendo front but… it’s not. There’s a lot coming up. Starting Thursday… Also – I think Wii U finally has its ‘must have’ game. It ought to be the game that sells systems, but we’ll see. More soon.”
