Nintendo is making progress with the Virtual Console on Wii U and 3DS… slowly.

Next week, the first TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine game will be hitting both eShops in Japan. The Wii U will also launch its debut MSX title.

No word yet on when support for these two platforms will be coming to the west. Soon, hopefully!

Wii U eShop titles from Japanese developers/publishers are a rare thing these days. We’ve seen a couple of games here and there, but nothing too substantial.

Ubiquitous Entertainment will be looking to provide a boost with its new eShop title “Gaiabreaker”. It’s a vertical shooter with leaderboard support.

Pricing is set at 1,890 yen for Gaiabreaker. The game is slated for December 25 in Japan.

Notion Games has announced a final name for Super Ubie Land on Wii U. Going forward, it’ll be known as “Super Ubie Island”.

Interestingly, Nintendo appears to have requested the latest name change. Notion speculates that the Big N may have thought Super Ubie Land would have been too similar to Super Mario 3D Land.
