Double the pleasure! Nintendo of Europe has always been generous with their combo packs and extras; they’ve outdone themselves this time. Hoping to cash in on their best-selling games of the year, a Wii U bundled with Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon will release on October 30th. Physical copies of the game will not be included; instead, the Wii U will come with a pre-installed copy of Mario Kart 8 and a download code for Splatoon.

The Bundle will retail for £240.

There is currently no active link to the bundle on the Nintendo UK shop but we’ll have one up as soon as it becomes available.

Nintendo’s upcoming collaboration with ATLUS brings the awesome Fire Emblem and Shin Megami Tensei crossover we’ve all been waiting for. As we get closer to the Japanese release, we’ll be seeing more and more of the game, and Nintendo has just released a brand new trailer showing off a bit of the story for the upcoming title. The trailer also features its “debut single” which will ostensibly be released sometime in the future to promote the game even further. Check out the brand new trailer below!

Sonic Lost World has only been available on Wii U for the past couple of years. Starting in November, that will be changing.

SEGA has made the decision to port Sonic Lost World over to PC. Its distribution on Steam will begin on November 2, where the game will cost $24.99. There are some bonuses like achievements, but it pretty much appears to be the same game.

I’m covering this if only because the news came out of left field. I don’t think anyone would have predicted that Sonic Lost World would be heading to another platform!

Thanks to shinun and Tom for the tip.
