Wii U version of One Piece: Unlimited World Red will be getting “Day 1” Edition content in NA, but retail release still not planned
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 8 Comments
Bandai Namco recently confirmed that One Piece: Unlimited World Red will be receiving the “Day 1” Edition content on Wii U in North America. Some believed this was a sign that a small retail release would be planned as well.
That’s not actually the case though. Bandai Namco’s J. Kartje said on Twitter recently that Unlimited World Red will still be digital-only on Wii U in the states, but players will still be able to access the “Day 1” bonuses at launch.
He said:
@IMissBionix Where is the confusion? It is Wii U digital only, but the day one bonuses will be available at launch.

Took all of your feedback to heart and will be looking to improve this idea in the near-term. For one thing, background music is coming! I’ll also try to be louder – my mic was being particularly troublesome tonight.
In any case, on with the video:

The 2.0 update for Steel Diver: Sub Wars won’t be released this month as originally planned. Instead, the game’s director says we can expect it in early June.
Takaya Imamura wrote in a new Miiverse update:
Hello, this is Takaya Imamura, the Director of Steel Diver: Sub Wars. As always, thank you so much for playing. I would like to take a moment to update you on Version 2.0, which we announced recently.
We had been aiming to release Version 2.0 in May. However, we’d now like to ask you for a little more time, in order to ensure that the finished update is as polished as possible. The current plan is to release the update in early June.
I apologise to those who have been looking forward to this release, and thank you for your patience.
