F1 Race Stars: Powered Up Edition launched in Japan months ago, but oddly enough, it hasn’t been available overseas. That’ll be changing in December.

Codemasters announced today that F1 Race Stars: Powered Up Edition will head to North America and Europe in December. It’ll come out as an eShop-only release – no retail version planned.

F1 Race Stars: Powered Up Edition is more or less the same game that hit other consoles, albeit with some additions. The package adds four extra tracks and nine extra accessory packs. Additionally, players can race as their Mii, use tilt controls with the GamePad, and display the map on the controller.

EA earned $695 in revenue across console, mobile, and PC software sales during the latest financial quarter. Unsurprisingly, just $9 million of the total came from Wii U and Wii U titles, or 1.3 percent.

If you were to disregard handheld and PC sales, Wii and Wii U’s total increases to 3 percent. Still, that’s nothing compared to the Xbox 360 (54 percent) and PlayStation 3 (42 percent).

Also worth mentioning, handheld sales encompass 14 percent of all EA mobile sales. Sony handhelds take up 8 percent while Nintendo portables account for 6 percent.
