Nintendo will probably never allow Wii U owners to play 3DS games on their televisions (or GamePads). But that doesn’t mean we can’t imagine the possibility!

Dave Delisle created a “DSU” concept that would permit users to plug a 3DS game into a small box, which is in turn connected to a Wii U. The hardware would beam the the 3DS’ top screen to a TV and the bottom screen to the GamePad. Of course, you’d lose the 3D effect.

This isn’t real. But it’s kind of neat. It may remind you of that lovely Game Boy Player for GameCube!

The creator of Gunman Clive has plans to release his next game on the 3DS. According to Bertil Hörberg, he will “definitely” be returning to the system and the project “will focus on the 3DS from the start”. Hörberg may consider porting the game to other platforms down the line.

Don’t count on any Wii U games from Hörberg for now. While Hörberg acknowledged that Wii U development would be “fun”, the 3DS is “quite enough to handle at the moment”.

XSEED VP Ken Berry opened up on a number of interesting topics in an interview with Digital Trends. Berry discussed its support of Wii, its “deal” with Nintendo for The Last Story, the company’s sales expectations for Pandora’s Tower, and Retro Game Challenge 2 localization.

Sadly, XSEED has no plans to localize the DS title – nor will it consider an eShop release. The first game “was an incredibly expensive project”, but it didn’t sell well at all. As a result, XSEED can’t take a similar risk with Retro Game Challenge 2.

Head past the break to read up on all of Berry’s commentary.

So you have a bunch of Virtual Console lying on your Wii. Maybe you’ve already transferred them to a Wii U. Now, what happens if you wanted to transfer save data when the Wii U VC service officially launches this spring?

Unfortunately, Nintendo has confirmed that gamers won’t be able to transfer saves from the Wii’s Virtual Console to the Wii U’s Virtual Console. You’ll be able to “upgrade” Wii VC games sitting on your console to the Wii U version at a later date, but you’ll have to start over from the beginning.

Amazon has restocked all three Etrian Odyssey DS games. Each can be purchased for $30 a piece. The first title has been available from Amazon for the past weeks or so, but II and III were both being sold only through non-featured retailers.

Links to each title:

Etrian Odyssey
Etrian Odyssey II: Heroes of Lagaard
Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City

This is a restock, so these games won’t be available forever! Get them while you can…

Rock Pocket Games is bringing its indie title Oliver & Spike Dimension Jumpers to Wii U.

Described as “Ratchet&Clank meets Zelda meets Uncharted”, Dimension Jumpers will offer adventure and platforming gameplay. Each world has a unique “Dimension Jumping” mechanic. Players will find three parallel dimensions, all of which contain an original storyline, quest-arcs, NPCs, and physical laws.

The story focuses on Oliver – a child separated from his parents as a child and “a boy with a special heritage” – and his friend Spike. Through the adventure, you’ll unravel Oliver’s past.

For more information about Oliver & Spike Dimension Jumpers, view the official website here.
