This retailer almost got things right! The Wii Mini is being advertised in the picture above for €99, but it’s surrounded by a prominent bin for the Mario/Luigi Wii U bundle. At least the sign does accurately label the console as “Wii Mini”!

When we last heard about The Pinball Arcade, FarSight Studios told us that the game was on track for a September 2013 release on the Wii U eShop. That month came and passed without its arrival, and there hasn’t been any news as of late.
FarSight did finally share a small update in a new year’s post shared yesterday. The Pinball Arcade is now scheduled to launch sometime in early 2014. A specific timeframe is TBD.
After a lengthy delay, the Wii U version is back on track and will be submitted to Nintendo in early 2014. Release timeframe TBD.

Watsham could be referring to Cult County, which was announced last year. The game in question could also be an entirely new project.

We have a pretty big announcement coming up later this month. Something FPS lovers and 3DS owners might be happy about. 🙂

Nintendo Teams up with Celebrity Trainer Kathy Kaehler for the “Wii Fit U Challenge”
REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– It’s a new year. Why not start it off with a new “U”? On Jan. 10, the retail version of Wii Fit U for Wii U hits stores, just in time to help people get started on their New Year’s resolutions to be more active and get fit. But Wii Fit U doesn’t require heavy equipment or expensive gym memberships. With Wii Fit U, users can get active by navigating a luge course, spraying a water hose, bouncing on a giant trampoline and even grabbing the new Fit Meter to continue their workouts on the go. Fitness doesn’t get any more fun than this.
“Wii Fit U makes fitness fun. It’s as simple as that,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “Wii Fit U is a great option for busy moms and families who want to stay active in the comfort of their own homes – which is perfect during the cold winter months.”
