Update: In a strange twist, it seems that despite some games like Metroid Fusion containing a 3DS label, they can only be downloaded on Wii U. So no Ambassador games after all? Someone at Nintendo seems to have messed up!

Take a look at this photo in case it’s unclear:

Club Nintendo Europe has just been updated with an onslaught of digital rewards.

There’s plenty of games to choose from on both Wii U and 3DS. Nintendo has added eShop-made titles, as well as Virtual Console releases. Perhaps most surprisingly, it’s possible to obtain games that were previously only available for 3DS Ambassadors.

You can find the full set of games here.

The official website for the next installment in Syn Sophia and Nintendo’s actually-really-good-I-swear series was today updated with some new information. Girls Mode 3: Kira Kira Code will feature 19,000 different items of clothing and accessories, including special items that are unlocked by using amiibo. The game will support all amiibo, however it seems that only the figures for Mario, Peach, Yoshi and Kirby will give out special “character items” like the stylish Mario hat pictured above. I for one am disappointed at the lack of Donkey Kong’s tie and King Dedede’s regal robes.

Does HTR High Tech Racing ring a bell for anyone? We first mentioned this 3DS eShop game back in July 2013, and it didn’t resurface until May of last year. QUByte is still working on the 3DS edition (which now seems to have the final title “HTR+ Slot Car Simulation”), and it’s apparently coming out “soon”.

A new off-screen video provides a look at the track editor on Nintendo’s handheld. You can check it out above.

Square Enix has decided to remove Chousoku Henkei Gyrozetter from the Japanese 3DS eShop.

Originally released in 2013 at retail and through the eShop, the game was about cars that turned into robots and had an anime to support the story as well. Neither game nor anime did very well and the anime was cancelled shortly after the release of the game.

Chousoku Henkei Gyrozetter will be removed from the eShop on March 31st.

PEGI has announced the expansion of its rating system to mobile and digital storefronts in Europe. This comes as part of a global initiative with other classification authorities from around the world, which includes the following groups:

Pan European Game Information (PEGI) – Europe
Unterhaltungssoftware Selbstkontrolle (USK) – Germany
Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) – North America
Classificação Indicativa (ClassInd) – Brazil
Classification Board – Australia

The International Age Rating Coalition (IARC) was recently established in hopes of streamlining the process for assigning age and content ratings to digital games as well as mobile apps. At the moment, the IARC system is adopted for use in Google Play/Firefox Marketplace, but the eShop will soon be represented as well.

Ultimately, this should mean that more games will make their way to Europe. That’s because developers will be able to submit their game, and then collectively obtain age ratings for various countries. The process will be much, much simpler… and free.
