Jett Rocket II: The Wrath of Taikai is gearing up for its launch on the 3DS eShop. Shin’en is currently “preparing the release”, and hopes to have it ready to go within the next few weeks. The game should be out by the end of November at the latest.
Jett Rocket II is also coming to Japan, Shin’en has confirmed to us. If possible, the studio hopes it will be available in the country along with the rest of the world.
We also have a tiny tidbit about Shin’en’s Wii U plans. We do know that one project will be revealed soon. Shin’en has also reconfirmed the existence of a second new Wii U title, which will be revealed later this year.
A couple of new Jett Rocket II screenshots showing one of the game’s bosses can be found below.
Wii Party U not coming to the Canadian eShop; US and Europe as well?
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
Wii Party U will not be sold on the eShop in Canada, a Nintendo representative has said. Consumers will need to purchase the game at retail if they’re interested in adding it to their collection.
It’s currently unclear if this also applies to the US and Europe. For the latter territory, things aren’t looking good. You may have noticed that Wii Party U was absent from the European Nintendo Download report earlier this week.

Notion Games originally changed the name of Super Ubie Land from “Super Ubi Land” in hopes of avoiding any potential issues with Ubisoft. Now, the indie Wii U title is getting another name change.
On Twitter, Notion confirmed that Super Ubie Land will be receiving a new title before hitting Wii U. What the new name is hasn’t been announced as of yet.
#SuperUbieLand will see yet another name change before being released onto #Nintendo #WiiU. #indiedev #gamedev
