Once again, we have a look at Nintendo’s most up=to-date release schedule thanks to items provided in the company’s latest NPD report. There aren’t too many highlights this time around, but one release window in particular does stick out.

When Nintendo announced Bravely Default for the west a few months ago, the plan was to have it out in Europe before the end of 2013. Now, like North America, it would appear that the 3DS RPG won’t be available until next year.


There’s a whole lot of sales mumbo jumbo in Nintendo’s latest financial results, which probably wouldn’t be too useful if it’s posted here. There are, however, a few highlihgts:

– 1.03M Wii U Software units in 3 months

Two Oddworld games are coming to Wii U: Stranger’s Wrath HD and New ‘n’ Tasty. Previously, Oddworld: Munch’s Oddysee HD was released on PlayStation platforms. Might this one come to Wii U as well?

Unfortunately, the answer is no. Just Add Water CEO and Oddworld Inhabitants development director Stewart Gilray told us that there aren’t any plans for a Wii U version of Oddworld: Munch’s Oddysee HD because the original title “is built on extremely old tech”, and bringing it over to Wii U would likely be a difficult process.

When asked about the possibility of Oddworld: Munch’s Oddysee HD for Wii U, Gilray told us:

“I’m afraid not. Munch is built on extremely old tech, to bring it to PS3 and VITA was quite a struggle because of this, and it’s not one I’d want to repeat with WiiU, sorry.”

We’ll have more about the upcoming Oddworld games for Wii U in the coming days.
