Metroid: Other M is slated for the North American Wii U eShop tomorrow, Nintendo’s website reveals. It will be available as a Wii download.

The listing has the following overview:

“Join Samus for an action-packed space adventure that takes the best elements of 1st-person and 3rd-person gaming to create a seamless blend between gameplay, story-telling and cinematography. Players hold the Wii Remote controller sideways while navigating and battling in 3rd-person. However, at any moment, players can switch immediately to Wii Remote pointer controls to examine and explore the environments in 1st-person perspective.”

Pricing for Metroid: Other M is set at $19.99.

Update: The restock has now been confirmed for December 20 – see the updated email below.

Original: Best Buy is sending out emails to consumers about an impending NES Classic Edition restock. We know that it’s happening soon – it’s just a matter of when.

Unfortunately, Best Buy made some sort of error in its email. It first mentions “tomorrow” (December 8), followed by December 20 right after that. I’d say the latter is a more likely bet, but a restock tomorrow isn’t entirely out of the question.

We’ll let you know if Best Buy clarifies the situation at all.
