Wii U eShop

A few days ago, we heard from The Game Awards 2016 host Geoff Keighley that a special sale was planned for the event. Unfortunately though, there’s nothing new.

Nintendo’s website now shows The Game Awards “sale”. However, as you’ll quickly notice, it’s just piggybacking off of the new Cyber Deals that began last month. A bit disappointing to say the least!

Nintendo released a new video today showcasing a few European digital game highlights from November 2016. You can watch it below.

Advance Wars: Dual Strike is launching on the North American Wii U Virtual Console tomorrow, according to Nintendo’s website.

The listing provides the following overview:

“On the heels of its last defeat, the nefarious Black Hole Army has fallen under the control of a deadly new commanding officer. He has sent its new COs to attack the nations of Wars World once again, and it’s up to the allied armies of Orange Star, Blue Moon, Yellow Comet and Green Earth to put an end to Black Hole once and for all. Players lead their new Commanding Officers to fend off the Black Hole Army’s latest invasion. With massive battles that sweep across both screens, Advance Wars: Dual Strike will change the face of Dual-Screen warfare forever.”

The first Advance Wars came to the eShop back in April 2014. That was followed by Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising last August.

Advance Wars: Dual Strike will cost $9.99.

ConcernedApe announced Stardew Valley for Wii U this past summer. Unfortunately, the developer has now said that it’s been canned for Nintendo’s current console.

Not all hope is lost. In the same post that details the situation surrounding Wii U, ConcernedApe also said that the team decided to “shift our development efforts to creating a version for Nintendo Switch.” It was further, “I do want to emphasize that I am absolutely committed to seeing Stardew Valley on Nintendo platforms”.

Here’s the full word from ConcernedApe:

“Stardew Valley will not be coming to the Wii U, however. Looking at Wii U and the current gaming landscape, we made the difficult choice to shift our development efforts to creating a version for Nintendo Switch. I am really looking forward to the Switch, and I believe that the Switch’s unique capabilities could create some exciting opportunities for Stardew Valley. I do want to emphasize that I am absolutely committed to seeing Stardew Valley on Nintendo platforms, and I really do appreciate your support and understanding in this.”

Wii U and 3DS eShop cards tend to come in denominations of $10, $20, $35, and $50. However, Amazon now has new digitals options for all of these, plus a few new ones.

You can see all of the eShop cash values on Amazon here.The big ones though are $5, $45, and $70. These are codes rather than cards, meaning you’ll be able to redeem credit right away. Some folks are also speculating that we could see $5, $45, and $70 cards in the future, but that’s obviously not confirmed at the moment.

Thanks to Brandon and Arison for the tip.
