A new version of Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask is heading to the Japanese 3DS eShop, Famitsu has revealed.

The download-only title, simply known as Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask – features new elements. There are now three save slots, new tutorials, hints for the “Ruins” mode, extra animations, events, puzzles, and more. If I’m reading this correctly, it also looks like it’ll come with all of the extra puzzles sent out online.

Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask launches on February 6 for 3,000 yen.

Satoru Iwata made a quick mention of a Wii U Virtual Console back in November. At the time, only two aspects were confirmed – that yes, Nintendo is working on the service for its new console, and it will support the GamePad.

A Nintendo of America has reconfirmed the Wii U Virtual Console and Off-TV play to Kotaku, but wouldn’t divulge any additional information.

The representative said:

“We do not have any specifics to share at this time. However, we are moving ahead with development of Virtual Console for Wii U, and we plan to make it so you can play it on the Wii U GamePad alone.”

GameStop saw a decrease in hardware sales during the holiday period last year. However, the retailer was boosted by a “successful” Wii U launch.

Chief executive officer Paul Raines said:

“GameStop experienced mixed results during the holiday selling period. Our successful Wii U launch, strong digital growth and continued momentum in the mobile space were countered by a decline in store traffic. As a result, GameStop expects its fourth quarter 2012 earnings per share results to be at the low end of its current guidance range. Our strong market share positions us well for the future, and we look forward to new product launches in 2013.”

Through a six week period, GameStop moved 320,000 Wii U units worldwide. In early December, Nintendo confirmed that it had sold 425,000 systems in the US during its first week of availability. Wii U sold nearly 558,000 units in Japan over a three week period. Nintendo has not shared data for its European territories.
