Last month, Shin’en announced a final name for its Jett Rocket 3DS project: Jett Rocket II: The Wrath of Taikai. While we patiently wait for its arrival, the studio was kind enough to share new details as well as a first look at the game’s logo with Nintendo Everything.

Jett Rocket II will offer both 2D and 3D gameplay. It focuses on “jump’n’run action”, and players will need to use a variety of gadgets to progress through levels.

Shin’en is once again showing off its technical prowess, this time on the 3DS. Jett Rocket II will support full 3D while maintaining 60 frames-per-second.

Fortunately, Jett Rocket II isn’t too far off. Shin’en has already finished work on all of the levels and is currently in the beta testing phase. Once the developer finishes bug-checking and polishes the game to its fullest, it should be ready for prime time.

Shin’en is aiming for a Q1 release for Jett Rocket II on the 3DS eShop. Look out for the first screenshots later this month.

Treyarch just released an update for Call of Duty: Black Ops II on Wii U. The Wii Remote control option obtained the Aim Assist feature, but players have unfortunately started to exploit it online.

A patch is now in development to fix these issues. As players wait for the new update, a Hotfix should temporarily address problems.

A message on the official Black Ops II forum reads:

Hello Wii U Community,

As you know, we recently added Aim Assist to the Wii Remote in a patch. While we are happy with our decision to offer this feature, the community has already identified a number of ways to exploit it. We have fixes to the issues ready, but unfortunately this will require a patch which is still being worked on

In the meantime, we are going to push out a Hotfix that removes Aim Assist on the Wii Remote as an option until we have it in better working order. Again, we do plan to bring it back, but it will have to be in the next patch.

We apologize for the issues found and for any inconvenience this change causes. Expect this Hotfix to go live sometime today.

Fire Emblem: Awakening should be available to those who pre-ordered the title from GameStop starting tomorrow. The retailer posted a message on its Facebook page making note of the date, but didn’t indicate if you’ll be able to head to a local store without a pre-registration.

In other Fire Emblem news, the special blue 3DS bundle will be available by Friday.

GameStop’s notice reads:

“Official Update Regarding Fire Emblem: We expect Fire Emblem Awakening to be available to our pre-order customers by tomorrow, February 6th. The Blue Fire Emblem 3DS system is expected to be in U.S. GameStop stores by this Friday, February 8th.”

Japanese retailer Rakuten listed Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 earlier today, leading to speculation that the Wii U title would be going multiplatform. This week’s Famitsu confirms the news.

In addition to all of the content made available on Wii U, the PS3/360 release will include 25 “Ninja Trials” along with new costumes.

It’s a bit peculiar seeing Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge on new platforms. While it’s technically a Team Ninja title, Nintendo originally published the game in both North America and Europe. Tecmo Koei should be handling distribution duties for the new versions in Japan.
