Entries on Amazon UK show a trio of newly-design eShop cards. The retailer lists £15, £25, and £50 cards featuring Toad, Luigi and Mario art respectively. All three can be used to purchase digital content on a Wii, Wii U, 3DS, and DSi.

No word yet on when the cards will be released. Soon, hopefully.

A couple of new games can be purchased at Best Buy at a discount. Kirby Mass Attack is available for $7.99 while Sin and Punishment 2 is going for $9.99.

Both games are available for shipping at the moment. I’m not sure how much stock Best Buy has on-hand, but you could also look for the two games in-store.

Wii U sold a disappointing 35,000 units in the UK for the month of January. Things weren’t any better in February – sales were worse, actually.

The latest data shows that Wii U sales stood at 25,000 units last month. Revenue also dipped from £1.2mm to £0.8mm. Year-to-date Wii U sales are now at 60,000 units and £2.0mm in revenue.

Amazingly enough, the Wii was Nintendo’s best-performing system in the UK for February, beating out the DS and even the 3DS.

Here’s a roundup of units sold and revenue stats:

Units

Wii – 125K
NDS – 110K
3DS – 90K

Revenue

Wii – £2.3mm
NDS – £1.7mm
3DS – £2.3mm

With the launch of Devil Survivor Overclocked just on the horizon in Europe, we can now turn our attention to another Shin Megami Tensei game that has not yet been released in the continent: Devil Survivor 2.

Things are a bit more complicated with Devil Survivor 2 than they were with Overclocked. Devil Survivor 2 is a DS game, and as European publisher Ghostlight said on its blog, “retail support for DS titles is understandably low at the moment making it difficult for us to release the title.”

Don’t lose hope, European gamers! Ghostlight did note that the company is “currently looking into several different ways of making this fantastic game available to you all.” It may opt to prepare a special release exclusively through Ghostlight’s online store, but nothing has been set in stone just yet.

“Currently the European version of the game is finished and has been approved for release by Nintendo. However, without going into too much detail, retail support for DS titles is understandably low at the moment making it difficult for us to release the title. We haven’t given up though and we’re currently looking into several different ways of making this fantastic game available to you all. One way that I’ve heard being discussed on the Ghostlight grapevine is that we may release a Collector’s Edition of the game exclusively through our website which will mean we’d need your full support in making this release happen. I’ve probably said too much already, but you can expect more news on this in the coming weeks.”
