Sadly, Nintendo has no plans to make Mother 2 available through the overseas eShops. We’ve gotten Punch-Out!! instead.

Fast & Furious: Showdown was leaked through a listing on EB Games’ Australian website. While we know that it’s on the way, Activision has yet to officially announce the game.

A statement provided to CVG confirms that news is coming soon. The comment reads:

“We will have more details and information in the coming weeks.”

EB Games’ listing hinted at a mid-May launch for Fast & Furious: Showdown. If true, its release is only a couple of months away. Activision should really begin promoting Showdown at this point!

Two of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate’s tools are not yet available through the eShop. The Data Transfer Program, which allows users to move saves between the Wii U and 3DS versions, is missing in action. So is the Packet Relay Tools download that makes 3DS online play possible.

Both are coming very soon, Capcom has said. The company “is working closely with Nintendo to make these available for download as soon as possible and apologize for the delay.”
