Once again, we have a look at Nintendo’s most up=to-date release schedule thanks to items provided in the company’s latest NPD report. There aren’t too many highlights this time around, but one release window in particular does stick out.

When Nintendo announced Bravely Default for the west a few months ago, the plan was to have it out in Europe before the end of 2013. Now, like North America, it would appear that the 3DS RPG won’t be available until next year.

News leaking out of this week’s Famitsu reveals that Monster Hunter Frontier G is in development for the Wii U and PlayStation 3. The PS3 version will release first on November 20, followed by Wii U on December 11.

Monster Hunter Frontier G may ring a bell for some. The game originally hit Japanese Xbox 360 and PC systems earlier this year.

The new versions’ content is identical to the previous release. PS3 and Wii U will both be receiving a “Beginner’s Pack” (packaged with armor and weapons), priced at 6,090 yen with a monthly fee of 1,400 yen. There will also be a free downloadable version. A free trial period will also be made available to players one week prior to the game’s official launch.

On Wii U, Frontier G will allow for display switching to the GamePad. It won’t be compatible with the nunchuck, but the Pro Controller will be supported. Capcom has yet to confirm if there will be any 3DS functionality. Likewise, it isn’t clear if the PS3 version will support trophies.

Some European Wii U owners purchasing Pikmin 3 from GAME were able to receive the download version a few days early. However, upon initial inspection, it appeared that Nintendo Network Premium points were not being provided. There was also concern that by obtaining Pikmin 3 before its official launch, such users wouldn’t be eligible for the 30% discount on digital copies of The Wonderful 101.

Nintendo has now stepped in and clarified the situation. Even if you downloaded Pikmin 3 early, you’ll be eligible for The Wonderful 101 promotion. The Nintendo Network Premium points situation is also being looked into, but it sounds like that also won’t be an issue.

Nintendo’s official statement reads:
