Perhaps Jett Rocket II: The Wrath of Taikai isn’t out of the question for the Wii U eShop?

The studio tweeted a few hours ago:

Jett Rocket did originally start out on WiiWare, so it’d be nice to see the series make an appearance on Wii U. Maybe a dual release on both eShops would be possible…

New Super Luigi U is a big deal. It’s so big that Nintendo is preparing a unique disc-based release for the game.

This is exactly what the company had in mind when preparing New Super Luigi U. According to Takashi Tezuka, Nintendo wanted to “change what DLC is.”

“Most people think of downloadable content as just an add-on to a game — in Japanese you say ‘add-on content.’ But New Super Luigi U is such a large-scale thing — it’s like a completely different game. It was our idea to change what DLC is.”

The Legend of Zelda series has never received major downloadable content. But bringing DLC to the franchise that producer Eiji Aonuma appears to be mulling over.

Aonuma recently said that Nintendo could offer “more places to explore”. On the other hand, the company could simply look “to enrich the experience beyond what is on the disc.” If Nintendo were to make DLC for a Zelda game, it would need to be something worthwhile for players.

We’re certainly looking at different ways to add on content that would enhance the experience for the user – maybe more places to explore or just to enrich the experience beyond what is on the disc. But we also have to take into consideration that if we charge for this content then it needs to be worth it for the user.

So it’s certainly a balancing an act, but I can’t say that it is something we’re not considering.
