There hasn’t been much news about Space Hulk in recent months. Actually, the game was originally thought to be coming to Wii U in May. The good news is that the eShop release is still planned – you’ll just need to wait longer than expected to play it. Space Hulk is now planned for a Christmas launch on Wii U.

Update: Bumped to the top. It now looks like The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth’s European release will be taking place in October.

EU players, according to NOE there's not enough time from last week (when we asked) to Sept 10th to push Isaac live. Looks like Oct. now

Amazon starting to sell digital Wii U and 3DS content

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 20 Comments

Update 2 (9/1): Bumped to the top. Amazon has now launched its Nintendo Digital Downloads page here.

Update: This actually looks more extensive than I originally thought. You can purchase digital codes for a good chunk of Wii U and 3DS games that have hit retail thus far (thanks astrogamer). For example, consumers can buy a code for Smash Bros. Wii U right now. You’ll find a decent amount of codes listed for Wii U here, and codes for 3DS here.

Starting tomorrow, Amazon will begin selling digital content for both Wii U and 3DS. This includes games available on the eShop, Virtual Console releases, and DLC.

Here’s the lineup thus far:

Wii U

Golden Sun
Hyrule Warriors: The Hero of Hyrule Pack
Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land
The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap
Mario Kart 8 Bundle Pack
Pushmo World
Yoshi’s Island: Super Mario Advance 3

3DS

Kirby Fighters Deluxe
The Legend of Zelda
Punch-Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream
Super Mario Bros. 3

It’s a bit of a limited selection, but it’s certainly a nice start. I’ll be curious to see if additional content is added in over time.
