Indie developer Jose Varela is bringing his mobile title Midtown Crazy Race to the Wii U eShop. The game is due out on July 31 in Europe, with the North American launch coming “soon after”. Pricing is set at $4.99 / €4.99

Varela informed us that Midtown Crazy Race will have off-TV play. Players will also be able to use the GamePad as the steering wheel.

Midtown Crazy Race offers the same features as the mobile version, and you can preserve the rotation of the camera view no matter how you tilt the GamePad. There is only one variation with the Wii U release: to unlock cars, you must win a certain numbers of races. All touch controls have been replaced with the GamePad buttons.

You can find a few screenshots from Midtown Crazy Race above.

Popular smart card company Suica is partnering with Nintendo to allow for NFC payment on the GamePad in Japan. Suica are best known as rechargeable non-contact smart cards that can be used to pay fares when travelling on Japanese trains. These cards will work exactly as you would expect, allowing for the NFC capabilities on the device to load funds onto the system without the need to input any code like with traditional eShop cards. There will be a special promotional deal as well, adding 1 reward point for every 200 Yen spent to Suica’s reward program.
