Dr Kawashima’s Devilish Brain Training officially delayed in Europe
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Dr Kawashima’s Devilish Brain Training will not be available this week in Europe, as previously announced. Nintendo confirmed the delay today in an official statement.
The company said:
“Nintendo has made the decision to push back the launch date of Dr Kawashima’s Devilish Brain Training: Can You Stay Focused? for Nintendo 3DS to optimise the best possible launch timing of this title within the European market. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and we hope to announce a new launch date soon.”
Rumors regarding a delay first appeared when Nintendo of Europe’s official product page listed a “TBD” date for the title. UK retailer GAME also included a strange September mention.
Dr Kawashima’s Devilish Brain Training is out now in North America, where it launched as “Brain Age: Concentration Game”. The game arrived back in February.
EnjoyUp teases Abyss on Wii U
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
EnjoyUp Games released Abyss as a DSiWare download last year. Could that same game – or perhaps a sequel – be coming to the Wii U eShop?
The company posted an interesting image on its Facebook page earlier today, which is most definitely Abyss running on Wii U in some form. Along with the photo above, EnjoyUp wrote: “Abyss on WiiU?”
Interesting stuff. It for sure sounds like EnjoyUp is tinkering around with Abyss on Nintendo’s console…

[Video Feature] Eggbusters – Mega Man 2
Posted on 12 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in Features, Videos, Wii, Wii Shop Channel | 0 comments
So we’ve finally branched away from first party Nintendo titles with a couple of glitches from Mega Man 2 on the NES. All of the stuff you see here was performed in the Virtual Console version of the game, and it is assumed that they would then work in the NES version as well.
