Nintendo Everything reader Cameron Thomas has brought an interesting retailer finding to our attention. UK outlet ShopTo is listing the “Animal Crossing Limited Edition Console Bundle 3DS” on its website with a release date of June 14 – the same day Animal Crossing: New Leaf launches in Europe.

ShopTo mentions that Animal Crossing is pre-installed on the  system. A small box shot of the Japanese 3DS Animal Crossing bundle is included on the product page, too.

Could Nintendo be gearing up for a western Animal Crossing 3DS bundle announcement? One would assume that it’s the same product that Japan received last year. Perhaps we’ll hear something during this week’s Nintendo Direct…

Another Kickstarter game may be coming to the Wii U or 3DS eShops (or perhaps retail, though that is somewhat less likely). Metroid-vania-esque title Chasm is currently trying to reach its goal of $150,000 for release on PC, Mac, and Linux, but that hasn’t stopped the developers from discussing its possible future on Nintendo platforms,

Judging by the trailers and screenshots I’ve seen of the game, this would definitely sell well on something like the Wii U! I know that I would likely pick it up (assuming it didn’t get absolutely awful reviews on PC), and I think a lot of you would as well. You can check out their Kickstarter page at the link in the first paragraph.

Guild02 could be one of the new announcements made during this week’s Nintendo Direct.

Level-5 has renewed its black box teaser page, also teasing the news on Twitter:

The last time Level-5 messed around with the black box page, we found out that the Guild01 games were heading to North America and Europe. That’s likely the same case this time around.

Ubisoft is scheduled to launch the free Rayman Legends Challenges App on the Wii U eShop later this month. The exclusive download is Ubisoft’s way of showing their thanks to fans for their patience in waiting for the full game’s arrival.

The Challenges App will offer Wii U owners the following, according to lead game designer Emile Morel:

• a crazy run in Land of the Livid Dead.
• a journey in the vertiginous Neverending Pit.
• a climb of the Infinite Tower as fast as possible.
• Murfy’s Dungeon, a challenge dedicated to the Wii U GamePad where you play as Murfy on the touch screen.

Players will be able to partake in daily and weekly challenges “to compete with your friends and players from all around the world” through the online Challenge Mode. New and exclusive levels will be generated each day and every week, and the app will be supported up through the launch of the full game.

Morel told Nintendo Life that “The Rayman dev team will provide some exclusive tips and tricks for Wii U owners on Miiverse and on Facebook” and there are plans to “organize contests between our fans and the Rayman dev team.”

A second series of Pokemon Rumble U figures have been revealed: Eevee, Mewtwo, Croagunk, Zoroark, Litwick and Genesect. Each will be available on May 25.

Players will be able to use IC cards – Japanese train passes, basically – to unlock a one-use Pokemon for use in a tough situation. You scan the cards on the GamePad just like the figures.

Pikachu, Snivy, Tepig and Oshawott are Pokemon Rumble U’s initial selection to choose from. You’ll be stopped by other Pokemon on the way back to the shop including legends.
