Cupra Studios is now an official Nintendo developer. Presumably, this should mean that the company can make games for both the Wii U and 3DS.

Cupra’s Oscar Yanez said the following of the news:

“This is a breakthrough in the development of our company because it allows increasing our range of possibilities to create video games based on both own and third-party licenses.”

Nintendo has re-upped the Eternal Darkness trademark in the US through the USPTO.

This isn’t the first time Nintendo has played around with GameCube game’s trademark. Extensions have been filed before, but this new trademark is noteworthy since it includes “downloadable electronic game programs” and “downloadable electronic game software.”

Nintendo hasn’t announced GameCube support for the Wii U Virtual Console, so a re-release on the eShop isn’t too likely at the moment. But maybe it will happen one day…

Asda is no longer stocking consoles, games, and accessories. Pikmin 3, for instance, was not available through the UK retailer. Only eight products – made available for the Wii U launch – are present on the Asda Direct website.

Asda said in a statement:

“Asda continues to offer customers a selection of Wii U games and accessories through Asda Direct, but these ranges are currently not on offer in Asda shops.”

Nintendo has also commented on the situation, but has not explained why the company’s relationship with Asda has seemingly grown sour:

“Nintendo UK does not comment on specific business practices with individual retailers. However, as we have seen with Nintendo 3DS, software sells hardware, and with titles such as Wonderful 101, Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD and Super Mario 3D World already announced for this year as well as the recently released Pikmin 3 and New Super Luigi U having reached number 2 and number 6 in this week’s chart respectively, we are looking forward to the year ahead on Wii U.”
