Volleyball appears to be this week’s Virtual Console release on the North American Wii U Virtual Console. Nintendo’s website has the game listed for launch tomorrow. For $5, Volleyball can be yours.

The Wii U eShop was recently updated with a small but extremely helpful feature. Going forward, users can now see file sizes when viewing information about a piece of software. This is shown at the top of every title description.
