Konami has another Virtual Console game ready for Wii U. Tomorrow, Lords of Thunder will be added to the eShop.

Nintendo’s website has the following overview:

“Lords of Thunder is a side-scrolling shooter that has you take on the role of a legendary warrior, blasting enemies to heavy-metal tunes. Your enemies are plotting to revive Zaggart, “The Dark One,” who was sealed beneath the six continents of Mistral. It’s up to Landis, descendant of the heroic Dyu, to stop them. Choose the order in which to attack the six stages. Before each stage, select one of four magic armors and use crystals you’ve collected during your battles to buy items. Then get ready to face awesome enemies like a fire-spewing sea serpent or a giant insect.”

Lords of Thunder will cost $5.99 on the Wii U Virtual Console.

Ubisoft has come out with a few Switch games thus far. The publisher got things started several months ago with Just Dance 2017. That was followed up with the big release Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, Rayman Legends Definitive Edition, Just Dance 2018, and this week’s digital title Uno.

Ubisoft commented on the status of Switch during its financial call this past week. CEO Yves Guillemot said that the company is “very happy” with sales on the console and said that more games are on the way. Guillemot didn’t specify if his comment referred to the calendar year or fiscal year, but regardless, we can expect more stuff soon.

A number of global missions were held for Pokemon Sun/Moon when the 3DS games originally dropped last year. Unsurprisingly, these events are returning for Pokemon Ultra Sun and Pokemon Ultra Moon. Details about the first assignment were published today.

The debut global mission for Pokemon Ultra Sun and Pokemon Ultra Moon is for all Trainers to collectively catch 10,000,000 Pokemon by November 28. Assuming the goal is reached, every participant will receive 2,000 Festival Coins. A participation reward of 1,000 Festival Coins will also be handed out even if the goal isn’t reached. Note that those who have registered their game at the Pokemon Global Link by the end of the global mission will receive double the number of Festival Coins.
