Natsume’s next releases on the North American Wii U Virtual Console will be in 2016
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 7 Comments
Natsume won’t be bringing any additional titles to the North American Wii U Virtual Console this year. Instead, we’ll need to wait until 2016 for any additional titles. That means we won’t be seeing the likes of Medabots: Rokusho/Metabee and the two Medabots AX games until a couple of months from now at the very least.
Interacting with fans on Twitter, Natsume said:
@MrJonFaust Nope. 2016.

@SeafoamGaming @MrJonFaust The former has never been announced, the latter has never had a date, so…no, not delayed.

Medabots: Rokusho and Metabee have been available in Europe since October. The Medabots AX games are due out in the region this Thursday.

Fan-made enemy in Shantae: Half-Genie Hero is inspired by Swapnote’s Nikki
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 8 Comments
Swapnote’s Nikki lives! Well, sort of.
WayForward recently issued a new Shantae: Half-Genie Hero update to its Kickstarter backers, showing off the fan-made enemy called “Ikki”. The character, with its design and name, is a clear homage to the 3DS application’s guide.
Nintendo rolled out Swapnote in 2011 as a way for 3DS owners to message their friends. However, it was shut down about two years later. Nintendo said in its announcement that Swapnote had been used by some to “exchange offensive material,” and felt that ending the SpotPass feature would be the best way to remedy the situation.
