Two more Virtual Console titles appear to be slated for North America. According to listings on Nintendo’s website, Dr. Mario (Wii U) and Clu Clu Land (3DS) will be available starting tomorrow. Neither title has been officially announced just yet, but we should be given a definitive confirmation when the Nintendo Download report hits.

GBA Wii U VC games don’t support multiplayer

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in GBA, News, Wii U eShop | 11 Comments

This may have been a bit expected, but now we have an official confirmation: Game Boy Advance titles on Wii U will not support multiplayer. The news comes straight from Nintendo, who have labeled all of the upcoming GBA games for Japan as single-player only. I imagine it would have been tough to pull off multiplayer since we’re talking about a console as opposed to a handheld, though some may find this disappointing in any case.

Flying Hamster II Kickstarter opening next week, will have Wii U/3DS stretch goals

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments

Game Atelier intends to launch a Kickstarter next week for Flying Hamster II. Nintendo fans will be pleased to hear that stretch goals will include Wii U and 3DS versions. Additionally, if funding reaches a certain amount, the game will include local two-player co-op.

Flying Hamster II features side-scrolling, action RPG gameplay. That’s a change from the first title – originally released back in 2010 – which was a horizontal shooter.

Flying Hamster II’s Kickstarter will go live on April 4. The project itself will be completed in mid-2015.
