Europe is catching up with a new Wii U Virtual Console game this week. Having previously been published in North America, Bonk’s Revenge will be out this week in Europe. Nintendo’s website lists it for release tomorrow.

Here’s an overview:

“The hard-headed hero is back for more in the second instalment of the Bonk series. Taking place in the Monster Kingdom, Bonk the Caveman must travel far and wide to find and defeat King Drool III.

Bonk’s™ Revenge is a side-scrolling action game in which you headbutt your enemies while you make your way to the end of each stage. Double or even triple your attack power by eating the slabs of meat that appear through the stages.

There are eight different hidden Bonus Stages, and the Dinosaur Train that appears after you defeat a boss will change depending on how many Smileys you’ve collected. With new actions available such as the Triangle Jump and the ability to climb trees, as well as seven variety-packed stages, Bonk’s™ Revenge will keep you playing again and again.”

Of Mice and Sand is due out on the North American 3DS eShop this Thursday. In Europe, it’s arriving next week.

As confirmed by Circle Entertainment’s Twitter page:

In case you missed it previously, here’s the overview for Of Mice and Sand:

“By ordering the mice crew living in the Desert ship, you can build facilities on the ship and make food for breeding the mice with various items. With the development of the ship, more mice will join in and they can accomplish more jobs. Don’t let them starve and make them rich.

Your final goal is to reach the other side of the desert and find the legendary land of gold to the east, El Dorado!”

Update 2 (6/1): The person behind the images has come forward confirming that the “leak” is fake. That’s the end of it, folks!

Update: While it’s not been made absolutely official, we can close the book on this one. The evidence here and certain sites such as GameXplain stating outright that the images were fabricated are enough.

Original (5/30): One game heavily rumored for Switch ever since the system’s reveal is Smash Bros. Early speculation suggested that Nintendo would eventually bring out something that mixes the Wii U and 3DS versions together into one ultimate package. With Nintendo’s big E3 presentation just two weeks away, the Smash Bros. Switch rumor is back in the news.

Unconfirmed screenshots from Smash Bros. on Switch are beginning to spread like wildfire online. The images appear to originate from 4Chan. Although anyone can post on the site under anonymity – making some rumors dubious – reports have panned out correctly from time to time in the past. In fact, before Nintendo’s Switch unveiling in January, someone accurately leaked the full slate of titles that appeared at hands-on events.

A first glance at the Smash Bros. screenshots would lead us to believe that they’re the real deal, or at least that someone put in a lot of effort here. But you know what people say these days: anyone can create a fake leak. Switch will undoubtedly receive a Smash Bros. game at some point, though we definitely can’t say that these images can be trusted. If they are true, we’re looking at some new content like Target Smash and improved visuals in the 3DS stages.
