Wii U eShop

Soulcalibur II HD Online has a chance of coming to Wii U. Producer Masaaki Hoshino told IGN that making a separate version for the console “isn’t out of the question.”

The performance of Soulcalibur II HD Online on the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade could motivate Namco Bandai into working on a Wii U version in the future. Namco Bandai has also suggested tweeting interest to Hoshino – you can find him on Twitter here.

Nintendo is bringing back its classic Wii Sports release for Wii U. All of the original title’s sports mini-games – bowling, tennis, baseball, boxing, and golf, are returning on the company’s new console.

Wii Sports Club features new HD visuals, MotionPlus technology, and an online multiplayer versus mode. Users will be able to register to state or regional clubs and chat with others through Miiverse during matches. Additionally, you’ll be able to either play casually against other members of your own club or challenge members of rival clubs to increase club rankings.

All of the mini-games will be released individually on the eShop. Starting on November 7, Tennis and Bowling will go live. Boxing, Baseball, and Golf will also arrive “in the months ahead.”

Pricing is set at $9.99 each. A trial pass option will also be available, which allows players to experience any available games for a 24-hour period from when the Wii Sports Club game is started. A Day Pass can be purchased for $1.99 after this period.


Two new Virtual Console games are on track for the Japanese Wii U eShop next week. Shin Megami Tensei II and Ganbare Goemon 2: Kiteretsu Shōgun Magginesu will be out on September 25. Pricing is set at 800 yen each.
