Let’s take a look at the Wii U’s Japanese lineup for 2013. Only three games have confirmed dates – Fist of the North Star: Ken’s Rage 2, Tank! Tank! Tank! (already released on the eShop), and Need for Speed: Most Wanted.

Aside from these titles, it doesn’t seem like there’s a whole lot to look forward to in 2013 if you have a Japanese Wii U. Pikmin 3, Dragon Quest X (updated Wii port), Game & Wario, and Wii Fit U are basically the only other titles officially set to be released in the first half of the year.

Identities of the other companies interested in THQ’s assets have not been revealed.

Nintendo has been on a roll with retail releases on the 3DS eShop, so it wouldn’t make sense for that to stop now. But just in case you had any sort of doubt, it has now been completely confirmed that Fire Emblem: Awakening will be available on the digital store when the game launches next month.

Did you know Awakening is currently unavailable on the Japanese eShop? I suppose that’s because Nintendo started getting involved with digital retail releases after the game shipped.
