A few months ago, a Wii U listing of the Karateka remake popped up on the ESRB. The game’s launch came and passed… yet there was no news about it heading to the eShop.

We contacted the game’s developer to find out just what was happening, and whether or not Karateka would ever arrive on the Wii U.

Producer Heather D’Evelyn told us that Karateka was considered for the platform “at the beginning of the project but never went into development.” D’Evelyn added that there are no plans to bring the game to the Wii U at this time.

This makes you wonder why Karateka was ever listed for the Wii U on the ESRB, doesn’t it? Ah well…


Nintendo will be carrying out another round of maintenance on its online services next week.

On Monday, all of the company’s digital stores will be down between 1:00 PM and 7:00 PM PT. That will be followed up on Tuesday with downtime for Pokemon Black/White and Pokemon Black/White 2.

You can find the full roundup of maintenance information below.


Kung Fu Rabbit is just a couple of weeks away from hitting the North American Wii U eShop. Neko Entertainment QA manager Sébastien Chipot confirmed to I Heart Nintendo that a release is planned for May 2.

Chipot said:

“The game has been approved by Nintendo and the release date has been set to May 2. We really wanted to have the two versions released at the same time, or at least with one or two weeks after, to avoid frustration from the American players.”

Kung Fu Rabbit launched in Europe today. The game can be purchased for £4.49.

Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime commented on a whole bunch of interesting topics while speaking with the media today.

Most items revolved around the 3DS – including the success of digital sales, sales milestones, and the eShop – but Reggie also commented a bit on the Wii U, Nintendo’s focus on titles as opposed to non-gaming entertainment, and the company’s situation with Amazon.

You can find a roundup of Reggie’s comments below.
