European 3DS owners have just a few days left to purchase the first Freakyforms. Nintendo will be removing the eShop game next week.

Now that Freakyforms Deluxe is out in Europe and the downloadable version is coming to the eShop, Nintendo feels the need to remove the original title. Freakyforms costs £5.40, but the sequel will set you back £19.99 – this is the price at retail and will probably be carried over to the eShop.

A message on the European eShop says the following about Freakyforms’ removal:

GameStop’s Wii U advertising may begin in full force next week. It appears that Nintendo’s promotional material will be officially permitted on August 13.

At the moment, GameStop does not have an SKU for the Wii U in their system. This will be changing on August 13 or shortly thereafter… supposedly. So if this latest speculation is reliable, Wii U pre-orders will begin next week.

Word on the street in that issues with manufacturing have caused Nintendo to “delay” the European launch of Wii U.

CVG sources say that Nintendo initially planned to ship the console in November. At one point, a major publishing firm executive, whose company is working closely with Nintendo, felt that an early 2013 launch was likely. No need to worry though: Nintendo has guaranteed a 2012 release.

As far as the US is concerned, the goal is to get the Wii U ready before Thanksgiving.

Wii U’s manufacturing issues apparently stem from its technology. The controller is complex and features a wide array of components, including its own power supply. If CVG is to be believed, Nintendo has not yet shared the Wii U’s launch date due to these problems, but it should be noted that such issues shouldn’t be a cause for concern. Most console launches tend to face a bit of trouble before launch.
