Today’s North American Nintendo Download report has been conspicuously missing in action. There could be one major reason for its delay: EarthBound appears to be coming to the Wii U eShop today as a Virtual Console download.

An official page on Nintendo’s website lists today’s release date as well as a $9.99 price point. It’s a bit more than other SNES titles, but most will probably say that it’s worth it.

Intelligent Systems has picked up the Japanese trademarks “Fire Emblem” and “Emblem”, sparking speculation that the filings are related to a new entry in the long-running franchise.

The two names were filed on June 24. Today, both were successfully registered.

It’s worth noting that the two trademarks aren’t for a renewal. None of Nintendo/Intelligent Systems’ older items will be expiring in the near future.

Last week it was revealed that Nintendo would be attending GDC Europe for the first time. The company’s two panels for the event have now been confirmed as well.

The first is the “Nintendo Wii U Application Development with HTML and JavaScript” panel, which “will introduce a new way of rapidly developing Wii U applications that takes full advantage of unique Wii U features while reducing development times significantly.” The other, titled “Unity, Wii U and You”, will delve into Nintendo’s partnership with Unity for Wii U.
