Not sure quite what it’s about, but Nintendo has told everyone that its 3DS eShop, the DSiWare Shop, and the Wii Shop Channel will be down for maintenance tomorrow, Tuesday, November 6th. Some people are saying that this could have something to do with the Wii U launch– perhaps some implementation of the “Nintendo Network ID” we’ve heard to much about– but I’m guessing that it’ll set some things up being the scenes that we’ll hear more about properly a week or two from now.

Don’t get too excited just yet!

There has long been talk about a new follow-up to Solatorobo: Red the Hunter. CyberConnect2 president Hiroshi Matsuyama finally confirmed that a follow-up is in the works while speaking with Spanish website Hitsuzen no Deai.

Matsuyama wouldn’t divulge any details. We don’t know which platform(s) the project is being made for, nor do we know when it’ll release.

But hey, at least it’s finally clear that a new Solatorobo is in the works!
