Zen Studios has bringing out new content for its pinball platforms pretty regularly. This includes Zen Pinball 2, which has been available on Wii U since 2013. DLC has definitely been slowing down for Nintendo’s console though, and there are still many tables we’re waiting on that have been out on other systems for quite some time.

Zen Studios actually announced yet another table today – one based on Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The company’s Steven Hopper says support is still planned for Wii U, but he has nothing to share about a release date.

Here’s his full comment:

“Regarding Wii U, we’re definitely still supporting the system, but at this time we have not revealed plans for The Force Awakens Pack on Wii U. We’ll be sure to alert the Wii U community as that changes.”

Pokemon Shuffle was updated with some new content today.

First of all, a new Mega Stone competition has started. This one pits you against Mega Swampert and you will need to place high enough to obtain the Swampertite. To get it, you will need to place in the top  12,000 in Europe, 18,000 in North America or 50,000 in Japan. You will get a Mega Speedup on top of that if you place in the top 2,300 in Europe, 3,600 in North America or 10,000 in Japan. Placing in the top 16,000 in Europe, 24,000 in North America or 70,000 in Japan means you miss the Swampertite, but instead you’ll get an Attack Power Up and Disruption Delay. If you place outside those ranks, you get a Jewel instead. The competition runs until January 12th.

Also, Tornadus is available once more, so now’s your chance to catch it again if you missed it the first time. This stage will also be available until January 12th.

Sankei West recently spoke with Tatsumi Kimishima. During their talk, Nintendo’s new president talked a bit about Splatoon, sales, mobile, My Nintendo, and NX.

The first topic discussed during the interview was Splatoon. After Sankei mentions that it’s selling well, Kimishima said that painting colors as a way of battle and the characters allow it to be accepted by a family audience. He added that, in the future, it’s possible to extend it widely like Super Mario Bros.

PictoParty was expected out in Europe this week. In fact, Nintendo listed the game in its weekly download PR published earlier today. But developer Retroid Interactive has since said that PictoParty won’t be hitting the European Wii U eShop due to a bug found within the game.


When PictoParty does launch on the European Wii U eShop later this month, it should be accompanied by a patch.
