If you’re in North America, it’s possible to purchase an “authentic” refurbished 3DS/DS system directly through Nintendo’s online web store. Chances are you’ll be receiving a product in much better condition than a similar item obtained at other retailers such as GameStop.

Unfortunately, there are no plans to offer a similar system in Europe at this time.

A Nintendo UK representative told Eurogamer:

“We currently have no plans and have made no announcements for this type of activity in Europe.”

We heard that The Pinball Arcade was in development for Wii U close to a year ago. At the time, developer FarSight said that it would like “to release as close to the launch of the platform as possible.”

The Wii U may have been out for a few months now, but it seems as though the game’s arrival is drawing near.

We’ve come across a Wii U listing of Pinball Arcade from PEGI, one of Europe’s classification databases. Now that the game has been rated in Europe, a launch may very well be on the horizon.

Nnooo has a new game in the works for the PlayStation 4 and PS Vita. However, the studio has also confirmed plans to release it on at least one Nintendo platform.

Nnooo tweeted a couple of days ago:

Maybe we’ll see Nnooo’s new title on both the 3DS and Wii U eShops?

Looking for a 20 hour gaming experience on Wii U? Then you may not be too interested in The Wonderful 101.

Based on a recent tweet from director Hideki Kamiya, the Wii U title will be more about entertainment rather than length.

Oh man, I feel like a real square for forgetting the “The” in the title of the game in the video. Ah well.

Did you guys know that it’s National Prime Rib Day!? Probably not, because it’s an awfully obscure holiday. To celebrate, I decide to tackle three (yes, three!) Pig-related glitches from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. They’re all pretty useless, but they’re all pretty funny to look at as well!

Sorry gang, despite our best efforts to organize a podcast for this weekend things just didn’t work! We may have to skip the week entirely, but with any luck we can do a Monday or a Tuesday episode. Fingers crossed! If you submitted a question, answered our reader poll, or offered up commentary on Super Mario RPG for the Book Club we’ll still use it as planned– it’ll just be later on in the week. From Laura, Jack, and myself, many apologies!

There is a silver lining though: I worked out our issues with our podcast hosting service and all retro episodes (from episode 11 onward– none of the awful early junk) will be available starting later tonight, with a few exceptions for files I no longer have. We’re missing episodes 16, 25, and 32. If anyone has those files, let me know so I can get them from you and upload them back to our servers!

Publications GamesMaster, Videogame, and NAG Magazine have revealed a new round of details about Batman: Arkham Origins. You can find a summary of their information below.

– Origins’ Batman is version 0.9 as opposed to Arkham City’s 5.0 Batman
– Warner Bros. Montreal feels it has made the coolest version of Deathstroke we’ve seen in media
– Important to make Batman scary again
– Thugs will show that they’re in awe of Batman and debate whether or not he’s human
– The team considered implementing robotic drones, but were cut since they didn’t want players involved with having to be defensive at all times during predator sections
– Gusts of wind from the dynamic weather system was considered as well, which saw thugs standing still and covering their eyes
– Idea was cut since it was difficult to control Batman
– Batman is impulsive, overconfident as he still has to encounter an opponent on par with his strength
– Batman is also clever, but doesn’t think of everything
– Ex: when interrogating a thug he can be dominated by violence and stun the thug before getting the information he wanted
– Batman will be affected psychologically by major difficulties he encounters during the game
– This changes him into the more realist and stoic Batman from the previous games
– Rupert Thorne is mentioned (as well as Falcone)
– Some of the 8 assassins will be side missions, and we will not be finished with them from the first encounter
– Unlock the location for the Batwing through an entire side mission
– For the mission, an unknown hacker has jammed the radio system and Batman needs to restore it
– New combat move: Batman can rush toward an enemy while knocking another one on his path
– Freeze boss fight from Arkham City is the main model for Origins boss fights
– According to NAG, Kevin Conroy will not be reprising his role as the Dark Knight in order to fit this younger version
