Nintendo has been working on the next firmware update for the 3DS. According to the generally-reliable Emily Rogers, the download was originally scheduled for October. The update, however, has apparently been pushed back to an unspecified timeframe.

The Wii U is also expected to be receiving a major update – first announced several months ago during a Nintendo Direct. Rogers teased on Twitter that the new firmware will arrive “sooner than you think.”

The tweet in full, which also contains an interesting tidbit regarding Ubisoft, reads:

Asked to elaborate on the Ubisoft note, Rogers tweeted:

Emily Rogers, who tends to be in the know when it comes to Nintendo rumors, shared the nugget on Twitter a short while ago:

This week’s Famitsu reportedly has a first look at a few new 3DS titles. A-Train 3D, VitaminX Evolution Plus, and VitaminZ Revolution are all apparently featured.

Famitsu leaks typically don’t surface this early, so we’re a bit hesitant to call this official. Still, the fact that supposed shots of the magazine’s cover and index do make this seem very plausible. We should know in a few hours either way.

Zelda: Wind Waker HD and Pokemon X/Y bundles may be on the way for their respective consoles. Target has listed a trio of products in their inventory tracking system, hinting at upcoming announcements.

Let’s talk about Zelda: Wind Waker HD first. This will be a Deluxe Set model and comes with a copy of the game. Pricing will be set at $349.99.

Nintendo also appears to be preparing two separate Pokemon X/Y 3DS XL bundles. Consumers will be able to choose from red and blue color variations. Each will be priced at $199.99.

Naturally, Nintendo isn’t saying much about these rumors. The company would only tell Destructoid: “Nintendo does not comment on rumors and speculation.”

Nintendo may be to blame for Call of Duty: Ghosts’ late Wii U announcement.

Ghosts was officially confirmed in May. It wasn’t until July that Activision made the shooter official for Wii U.

According to Emily Rogers, who is often spot on with Nintendo rumors, Activision was waiting for some sort of approval for Nintendo – resulting in the delay.

According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, Disney cancelled an unannounced Iron Man game earlier this year. The axed game was allegedly due out in 2013. The Wall Street Journal doesn’t provide any details about the project, so unless a leak occurs, we likely won’t know anything about the mystery Iron Man title.

Nine Realms, Inc. is a company that most probably haven’t heard of. The business was established by Human Head president and owner Paul MacArthur in November 2011.

Believe it or not, this unknown company does appear to have a relationship with Nintendo – or did at one point.

One of the studio’s supposed staffers says on his CV that he worked on design and development for an upcoming Nintendo IP. And in 2012, Human Head/Nine Realms was hiring part-time Japanese staffers for translations of “project documentation, written correspondence, and live [conversation],” which sounds like could have something to do with that mysterious game.

Curious stuff. Curious indeed. Could this title still be in development?
