Capcom announced a new Strider game during a Comic-Con panel this week. There was initially some confusion about the game coming to Wii U, as someone who was live-tweeting from the event said that it would indeed head to Nintendo’s console.

As it turns out, the official announcement confirmed that a Wii U version isn’t in the works. But that doesn’t mean Strider has been completely ruled out for the system. The same person who live-tweeted from Capcom’s presentation caught up with developer Double Helix following the panel and was told that the game could be ported over “if there’s a demand for it.”

For now, if you’re interested in the new Strider, you’ll need to settle for another platform – PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, or PC.

Yesterday we heard that Shin’en intends to reveal its next Wii U games this fall. A tweet sent out by the studio a few days ago reconfirms this news, and also gives a vague release window for both titles.

Shin’en’s next game will be out later this year. The other will be available in 2014. Shin’em also appears to be considering a 3DS port for at least one of the projects.

Shin’en’s tweet is as follows:

Thanks to Mr. Valtor for the tip.

Kid Icarus could be heading to the Wii U Virtual Console next week. Nintendo’s website lists the game for a July 25 release, but all entries in the database are subject to change. Assuming it does come out, you’ll be able to make a purchase for $4.99.

On a slightly less interesting note, Angler’s Club: Ultimate Bass Fishing 3D will apparently be released on the 3DS eShop next Thursday as well for $29.95.

Shin’en has confirmed that announcements surrounding its new Wii U projects are planned for the fall. A specific date hasn’t been set at this point, but we at least know that news is due in the somewhat near future. The company is said to be working on a couple of new titles for Wii U currently.

All of Nintendo’s online services are experiencing technical difficulties at the moment.

A notice posted on the company’s network status page indicates that the Wii U, 3DS, Wii, and DS are affected. It states, “Due to technical difficulties, some online service features may be unavailable. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.”

Nintendo began encountering issues at 8:20 AM PT / 11:20 AM ET. It is not yet clear what caused the downtime and when all services will be restored.
