Conatus Creative previously expressed interest in bringing River City Ransom: Underground to the Wii U and 3DS. That interest has now translated into stretch goals on Kickstarter.

If River City Ransom: Underground manages to raise $320,000 CAD, the game will come to both eShops – Wii U and 3DS. It could be difficult to reach such a high amount with only 11 days remaining in the campaign, but it’s nonetheless encouraging to see both platforms included in the Kickstarter.

Although it had been hinted at in previous interviews, Image & Form has officially confirmed that a new entry in the SteamWorld Dig series is in development for the 3DS. Similar to its predecessor, the new title will be released on the 3DS eShop.

Speaking with Nintendo Life, Image & Form’s Brjann Sigurgeirsso said:

“We’ve come quite far developing the next game in the SteamWorld series, and we’re waiting for the right moment to announce more details.”

SteamWorld Dig launched to critical success in August. The game has been financially successful, too.

EnjoyUp has teased a new game for the Wii U eShop involving cars and platforms.

A tweet published on the company’s account earlier today reads:

Note that “Cars & Platforms” isn’t actually the name of the game. This is just a tentative label given to the project for now.

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD Limited Edition can be purchased once more on GameStop. When the product originally went up, its availability didn’t last long. I imagine it’ll be similar this time around as well.

You can order the Zelda: Wind Waker HD Limited Edition here. Along with the game, a special Ganondorf figure is included.

Releasing Yakuza 1 & 2 HD on Wii U “was an experiment”, according to series creator and Yakuza Studio head Toshihiro Nagoshi.

Nagoshi told EDGE that he was “interested in the Wii U format and curious about how many Wii U users would be interested in the Yakuza series”. This information could only be obtained by “releasing something.”

Nagoshi probably didn’t attain the results he was probably looking for. The game’s sales “weren’t great,” he said.

“The PlayStation format has a lot of users, so we knew that our audience is there. With the HD versions, we had already made the game once for PS2 and then in HD, so it was quite easy to port it to Wii U, whereas [porting] a whole new title is a bit tricky. I was interested in the Wii U format and curious about how many Wii U users would be interested in the Yakuza series, and the only way to find that out was to try releasing something. It was an experiment. But the sales weren’t great.”

Perhaps due to the game’s lack of multiplayer, Batman: Arkham Origins will be priced at $50 when it launches on Wii U next month. Other versions cost $60 and include online play.

Some retailers (well, notably GameStop) have the game listed for $60. However, Warner Bros. confirmed that the official MSRP on Wii U is indeed $50.

Amazon probably has the best deal for Origins at this point. You’ll receive a $10 credit along with Deathstroke DLC.

Monster Hunter 4 sold 473,739 copies in its second week following an incredibly successful debut. But it’s important to note that retail sales may have been hampered by continued shortages, as noted by Media Create.

The eShop version of Monster Hunter 4 is expected to see persisting demand due to the lack of retail stock. However, because Nintendo typically withholds sales of games on its digital store, we’re unlikely to find out the full extent of Monster Hunter 4’s sales.
