Little Battler Wars will see roughly a month delay. Level-5 has announced that the game’s release date has been pushed back from September 26 to October 31 in Japan. The company apologized for the extra wait, but hopes to further enhance Little Battlers Wars’ quality.



Medabots Dual will be released in Japan on November 14. The game will be playable at the Tokyo Game Show next month.


Two of GameStop’s highest-priced pre-owned titles can be purchased at a discount. Xenoblade, normally $90, can be grabbed for $80. Meanwhile, Metroid Prime Trilogy has received a $15 reduction to $70.

The Wii U is in a similar position as the 3DS. Both systems received price drops less than a year after their release.

When the 3DS reduction was announced, Nintendo revealed an Ambassador program for the handheld. A total of 20 games were made available for free – 10 NES games and 10 exclusive GBA titles.

Apparently, the Wii U won’t be seeing anything similar based on recent comments from a Nintendo customer service representative. Nintendo of America’s Helena Toledo said:

Thank you for taking the time to write with your questions regarding a Wii U Ambassador program. The Ambassador program is only available to any Nintendo 3DS owner who purchased their system before August 12, 2011 and there are no plans for a similar program for Wii U.

I know that this isn’t what you were hoping for, but we appreciate your support of our products now and in the future. I also want to assure you that your comments will be added to our records and made available for other departments at the company to use as they see fit.

Just a few weeks ago Project Phoenix developer Hiroaki Yura blasted Nintendo, stating that the company’s hardware is not “exciting”. He did acknowledge that Nintendo’s systems can be “interesting”, but that’s where the positivity ended.

Yura now seems quite a bit willing to consider Project Phoenix for Wii U. Speaking with 4 color rebellion, Yura said: “I must admit that the WiiU could possibly be an interesting platform for our game”.

His comments in full:

“I must admit that the WiiU could possibly be an interesting platform for our game, however we are unsure as to what the current situation for the indie dev publishing from within Japan is like at the moment. Last time I checked was that it didn’t allow Japanese indies to publish games on the WiiU but this may have changed from a recent news article I read.”

Have I missed something? This is pretty bizarre, honestly. I do wonder why Hiroaki sounds much more open to the possibility of Project Phoenix coming to Wii U given his recent comments…
