EnjoyUp Games released Abyss as a DSiWare download last year. Could that same game – or perhaps a sequel – be coming to the Wii U eShop?

The company posted an interesting image on its Facebook page earlier today, which is most definitely Abyss running on Wii U in some form. Along with the photo above, EnjoyUp wrote: “Abyss on WiiU?”

Interesting stuff. It for sure sounds like EnjoyUp is tinkering around with Abyss on Nintendo’s console…

So we’ve finally branched away from first party Nintendo titles with a couple of glitches from Mega Man 2 on the NES. All of the stuff you see here was performed in the Virtual Console version of the game, and it is assumed that they would then work in the NES version as well.

When you purchase a Wii U Deluxe Set, you also get a copy of Nintendo Land. No such bonus is awarded to Basic Set owners. But for the next few days, you can pick up a Basic Set and Nintendo Land at no extra cost.

Consumers can purchase a Wii U Basic Set for $299.99 and get Nintendo Land for free at Best Buy. The offer is valid through April 13. If you ever had interest in the Basic Set but had hoped to receive Nintendo Land without paying extra, this is an opportunity that you may wish to consider.

Following the discovery of Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse entries on the official Brazilian ratings site, the game’s official digital boxart has made its way online. “XBLA Watchdog” lifelower discovered the image above from a leak on the Xbox Live Marketplace.

Castle of Illusion will be coming to the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii U, and PS Vita based on the original Brazilian listings. SEGA will be handling publishing duties, apparently.

Update: Joystiq has been in touch with GameStop and it looks like the May 21 listing is the real deal. And DC Super Heroes is actually arriving on the console this spring – not summer – so you can pretty much lock-in the aforementioned date.

LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes is supposed to be hitting the Wii U this summer. Amazon is listing a release date of May 21, which is plausible, but could be temporary since summer won’t begin until mid/late-June.

The retailer is also taking pre-orders for the game. You can reserve LEGO Batman 2 for Wii U here. It can currently be pre-ordered for $39.99, a price that Amazon says is $10 off.
