Update: Here’s what Yacht Club says about the eShop listing:
@JeGeekJePlay Seeing that release date is a surprise to us honestly! Possibly a mix up?
— Yacht Club Games (@YachtClubGames) October 22, 2014
@JeGeekJePlay The Wii U and 3DS versions should be released on the same day! Though we're still waiting to find out when that is exactly.

The European Wii U eShop has apparently dated several games for Europe.
First up, Shovel Knight will apparently launch on November 6 for €14.99. Yacht Club Games previously confirmed that the game would be launching in Europe and Australia next month, but a specific date wasn’t shared.
Also due out on November 6 is the eShop version of Disney Infinity 2.0. Wii U owners will be able to purchase the title for €29.99.
Last but not least, Picross e5 is slated for November 11 (with a €5.00 price point).
Note that while these dates are likely accurate, they have not been officially announced.

Machete Brawl reborn as “Holobunnies”
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
We provided a first look at Machete Brawl – a new title from q-bit games and Sleepy Sheepy – back in April. Since then, q-bit says “a lot of things happened”. That has resulted in Machete Brawl’s death, though the project has been reborn as “Holobunnies”.
What was planned for Machete Brawl will now be included in Holobunnies as a multiplayer mode. Here’s a brief overview of the new game:
Holobunnies is a side-scrolling exploration-based action game set in the wonderful and bizarre depths of PANDEMONIUM! You’ll be playing as one of the four fluffy Holobunnies ; Danielle the witch, Leenox the hunter, Mephisto the ninja and Roméo the bard – each with their unique abilities. You will travel the caverns by jumping, running, and jetpacking through enemies and hidden treasures to find who or what stole Holobunnies’ favorite creatures’ eyes – the Machetes.
A Kickstarter for Holobunnies will go live this Saturday. If the goal isn’t met, the project was still be made – just “at a slower pace, and with less features.” You can rest easy knowing that Holobunnies will come out at some point in the future!
