Capcom

A pair of Capcom games are currently on sale on the Wii U eShop. DuckTales Remastered and Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara can both be purchased for $7.49 each. These prices are valid until January 9.

Following the 3DS eShop’s second round of maintenance yesterday, it has now opened for good. Furthermore, Nintendo doesn’t anticipate additional outages for either the 3DS or Wii U digital stores.

Nintendo has also said that news regarding the launches of Pokemon Bank and Poke Transporter will be shared “as soon as possible.”

Nintendo has issued yet another response to the situation surrounding its online services outage.

In the note, the company explained that the initial issues came about due to an influx of new accounts being created and accessing the eShop, as well as existing 3DS account information being moved to new Nintendo Network accounts. Nintendo also said that additional maintenance may be needed in the future.

You can find Nintendo’s full message after the break.

The Wii U eShop as well as the 3DS eShop appear to be back up and running follow Nintendo’s 12-hour maintenance period. They’re up in the US, and we’re hearing that all is well in Europe in addition. Other online features such as Miiverse are also functioning properly.

More:

At 4 PM ET, Nintendo took down both eShops once again for a 12-hour maintenance period. The company hopes to make significant progress with regard to the online issues plaguing its network services over the past few days.

In light of fans questioning why the eShops will be going offline once again, Nintendo took to Twitter to further explain the situation. The Big N said that this will allow for traffic volume to be properly managed, paving the way for full operation restoration.

Nintendo wrote:


Meanwhile, indie developer Two Tribes has weighed in on the situation as well. The studio, after receiving a notice from Nintendo, claimed that the overall online downtime “might take a while longer”.

Image & Form has previously discussed bringing SteamWorld Dig to Wii U, but the studio seems more intent on pursuing the possibility, based on new comments made to ONM.

Co-founder Brjann Sigurgeirsson told the publication that the team is “definitely” looking into making SteamWorld a reality on Nintendo’s home platform. Sigurgeirsson also said that “Wii U would work very well for the SteamWorld series”.

Sigurgeirsson’s comments in full:

“The Wii U would work very well for the SteamWorld series, so it’s definitely one of the things that we’re looking into – we’re fortunate that we left mobile at the right time and got embraced by Nintendo when it happened.”
