Zen Studios has bringing out new content for its pinball platforms pretty regularly. This includes Zen Pinball 2, which has been available on Wii U since 2013. DLC has definitely been slowing down for Nintendo’s console though, and there are still many tables we’re waiting on that have been out on other systems for quite some time.

Zen Studios actually announced yet another table today – one based on Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The company’s Steven Hopper says support is still planned for Wii U, but he has nothing to share about a release date.

Here’s his full comment:

“Regarding Wii U, we’re definitely still supporting the system, but at this time we have not revealed plans for The Force Awakens Pack on Wii U. We’ll be sure to alert the Wii U community as that changes.”

Kaga Create has closed its doors. The Kaga Electronics video game division started out by creating titles for the PC Engine, and eventually moved on to platforms such as the Game Boy and Super Nintendo.

Kaga Create’s shutdown took place on December 31, 2015. The company cited a lack of profit in today’s game market that is centered around smartphone applications as a primary reason for its closure.

We have a quick update on in-store availability for the Shovel Knight amiibo. Best Buy is estimated to be receiving 4-8 units per store whereas Target could have about 10. The lowest amount is sitting at 2 amiibo per store and as high as 10 for Best Buy and around 12 to 16 for Target.

It’s not entirely clear how many units Toys “R” Us and GameStop will have. However, the former should be receiving similar inventory as other stores while the latter could be at or above Best Buy levels.
