Namco Bandai announced Pac-Man Museum for a number of platforms last year including Wii U and 3DS. Today, the publisher finally shared a release date for the game’s PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC versions, but a mention of Nintendo systems was conspicuously absent.

We followed up with Namco Bandai and were told that, unfortunately, both eShop releases have been cancelled. Pac-Man Museum will no longer be available on Wii U and 3DS “as a result of delayed development,” a representative said.

If you’re still interested in Pac-Man Museum, you can pick up the title via PlayStation Network on February 25 and through Xbox Live Arcade/Steam on February 26.

North America may not be getting Ninja Gaiden as its Wii U Virtual Console title for this week after all. Instead, it would seem that Zelda: A Link to the Past will be taking its place.

Ninja Gaiden’s listing has been removed on Nintendo’s site, but an entry for Zelda: A Link to the Past has appeared. Most would probably take Link to the Past over Ninja Gaiden here, so this is probably a good thing!

We’ll see how this pans out tomorrow.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.

The Wii U Virtual Console will be receiving DS support, Nintendo has confirmed.

Nintendo hasn’t shared concrete details, but the company suggested during its investor briefing today that the GamePad will split the game action in half – at least based on the image above.

A total of six Warner Bros. games have been discounted on the Wii U eShop. They’re as follows:

Batman: Arkham Origins – $39.99
Scribblenauts Unmasked: A DC Comics Adventure – $39.99
Scribblenauts Unlimited – $19.99
Injustice: Gods Among Us – $39.99
Hot Wheels World’s Best Driver – $19.99
LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes – $19.99

I’m assuming these are permanent drops as the eShop doesn’t mention an expiry date for any of these sales.

Thanks to GR for the tip.
