Nintendo decided against launching Wii Party U on the eShop in North America and Europe. The situation is different Down Under, however.

Yep – Wii Party U is up on the Australian Wii U eShop. It’s been available since the game’s launch late last week, in fact.

Why is Wii Party U being distributed on the Australian eShop but not the North American and European stores? Your guess is as good as mine!

Game Center CX 3 will provide players with plenty of new areas to explore. You’ll be able to visit an arcade, toy shop, mom-and-pop-candy store, model kit shop, and a department store roof.

Each one of these locales offers its own events and challenges. While clearing challenges and continuing on through the story, years will pass and the city experiences various changes. In one instance, your school bans its students from going to the arcade in the mid 80s. But in the late 80s, specialty game shops will begin to appear.

Square Enix tends to hold its Final Fantasy franchise close to the vest. The series hasn’t changed hands in the past, with Square Enix deciding to develop each new game internally.

Now here’s a crazy thought: how about an Eidos-made Final Fantasy? You may remember that Square Enix absorbed the company a few years ago, and is now a close partner as a result.

Interestingly, Square Enix has considered bringing in an outside developer to work on Final Fantasy – including Eidos. There have been discussions about the possibility, according to Yuji Abe. Abe said Square Enix would “think about” allowing an external team to take on Final Fantasy “if we find the right team of developers, the right people who really wanted to do it, and we had the right game”.

He told OXM:

A brand new Pokemon title has been revealed through the latest episode of NHK’s “Professional—Style of Work” program. Details are still coming in, but it’s a detective title that has players partnering with Pikachu.

The unnamed game’s total development is expected to be two years, according to The Pokemon Company president Tsunekaz Ishihara. In it, players will encounter a rare Pikachu, which is apparently the enemy players will take on, and Ishihara believes that people won’t end up liking it. Also planned for the game: a blue Pikachu and a talking Pikachu.

The new title is due out sometime in 2015.

We’ll bring you more as it comes.
