Urban Trial Freestyle is coming to the 3DS eShop, Tate Multimedia S.A has announced. The game is due out in early 2013.

Players can expect an action bike racer containing five 3D urban environments, each with contorted terrain and ramps, background animations, and moving objects. The game also contains different game modes, leaderboards, rider and bike customization, and trophies. And unsurprisingly, stunts are a big part of the title.

Look forward to more information about Urban Trial Freestyle soon.

Starting today, UK Wii owners can experience Amazon’s digital movie and TV service Lovefilm directly on their console.

A Wii U version is also on the way. There’s an app pre-installed on the console, but it isn’t functional at the moment. Nintendo says that it will be “coming soon”, but a specific date hasn’t been announced.

Nintendo UK MD Shelly Pearce said:

“We are thrilled to be partnering with LoveFilm to offer Wii owners and soon Wii U owners on-demand film and TV content to enjoy. LoveFilm has a proven track record of success and innovation in film distribution and is a very welcome addition.”

I almost can’t get over how peculiar the Wii Mini looks. And I still don’t know why it exists!

Link chopping off heads? I can’t see Nintendo ever allowing for something like that in a Zelda game.

Indie developer WaterMelon said that if it reached its goal of $200,000 on Kickstarter, it would bring Pier Solar and the Great Architects to the Wii U eShop. The achievement was reached earlier today – a little less than two days before the campaign ends.

For those wondering, the Wii U version won’t be included as a reward/add-on. A message from the developer reads:

We will unfortunately not be adding the Wii U version as a reward or ADD-ON as we just do not have enough time left at this point.
Each of your pledge’s are directly what helped make it a reality in the first place, so thanks for your support!

The Wii U version of Pier Solar HD will be available for purchase once it is officially released late next year, so it won’t make any difference if you pledged now or purchased it then – that’s when it will be released regardless.

Thank you for your understanding and support everyone – we can’t express this enough!

Pier Solar and the Great Architects is a long way off from launch, but I’m sure we’ll be hearing a lot more about it throughout the next year.
