Some of you may recall that free DLC was planned for the Wii U eShop title Canvaleon. In October, a November launch had been announced for the content. But that month came and went though without any news from developer OXiAB Game Studio.

We still don’t have an exact date yet, but the DLC is now targeted for “the Christmas Season.” Canvaleon is also coming to additional territories this month. Cyprus, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Slovakia, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, and Romania will have the game on December 10. A release in Germany, Australia and New Zealand will also be happening later this month.

Here’s a refresher of what’s included in Canvaleon’s upcoming DLC:

Go! Go! Kokopolo 3D, a sequel to the well-received DSiWare release of a similar name, was revealed way back in June 2012. Relatively little has been said about it since.

We still don’t know a heck of a lot about Go! Go! Kokopolo 3D, but Circle Entertainment – who is involved with the project – claims it’s still in the works. The company indicated that the game remains in development and is being improved.

Circle posted the following on Twitter yesterday:

Thanks to Jake for the tip.

It’s been a long wait, but Xenoblade Chronicles X finally made it out yesterday in North America (and Europe). Consumers have been able to choose between a standard version or the “Special Edition” at retail. There are some interesting things about the latter package that I wanted to bring up.
