Update: Freedom Planet has now been taken down from the eShop. Nintendo took care of things rather quickly!

Freedom Planet can currently be purchased on the North American Wii U eShop. However, as you may recall, GalaxyTrail said that the game would be delayed for a third time a few days ago due to technical issues that still have not been eliminated. Basically, someone messed up big time!

If you do decide to purchase Freedom Planet, keep in mind that your console may experience freezing issues. It also looks like the Nindies@Home discount is not being applied. That’s another sign of Freedom Planet going up earlier than planned.

Thanks to Jake R for the tip.

Curve Digital will be bringing The Swindle to the European Wii U eShop on September 10, according to a listing on Nintendo’s UK website. Note that the company has not technically announced this date. When Curve officially announces the news, we’ll probably be hearing about when it’s coming to North America as well (perhaps the same day).

Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising is heading to the North American Wii U Virtual Console tomorrow. That news comes straight from Nintendo’s website, which lists the new release.

Below is a handy overview of Advance Wars 2:

The Black Hole Army comes storming back in this worthy successor to an award-winning strategy game. Rain destruction upon their foul legions by ordering your troops effectively and overpowering your enemies with new Super Commanding Officer Powers. Then, see how your tactics stack up to your friends’ in 4-player battles—all with one Wii U.

Take control of more units and battle on more maps than even the original Advance Wars had to offer. More terrain means more options, and more options means crazier creations. So employ every feature of the robust map designer to craft punishing maps, and then challenge the CPU or your friends on the battlefield. After a few battles, take your hard-earned points to the Battlemaps shop to purchase new maps, challenges, and Commanding Officers.

Wii U owners will be able to purchase Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising for $7.99 on the eShop.
