Is this the end of Nintendo Video in North America? That’s a very strong possibility given a new message distributed by SpotPass today.

In the message, Nintendo states that Nintendo Video content is moving to the eShop. You’ll be able to watch past shows by visiting the digital store.

Nintendo Video hasn’t seen much promotion in recent months, so it’d hardly be a surprise to see it come to a close. I hate to say it, but there’s not much need for the app at present.

Thanks to DJMusicClues for the tip.

Harvest Moon: Seeds of Memories isn’t the only new title Natsume is planning for Wii U. Today, the company announced that “Ninja Strike” is also in development for the platform (presumably via the eShop).

Here’s the official overview:

Run, fly, and slash enemies to get the stolen treasures back! Be sure to check out this high-speed, action-packed, side-scrolling title in Natsume’s Ninja series! Whether you go with strength or triple jumping, there is a ninja for you! Choose from 5 different ninjas, each with their own special characteristics. You’ll face much more than just run-of-the-mill henchmen! Use your hard-earned coins to level up a variety of skills that will help you get further and make you tougher! Pick the skills that best fit your playing style! How far can you go?

Natsume previously brought Ninja Strike to iOS. On Wii U, this appears to be a completely brand new game, though we’ve attached an image from the mobile version above.

Ninja Strike will be featured at E3 2015 later this month.
