Nintendo customer service not sure when Super Mario Bros. 3 will be out on the NA Virtual Console
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 14 Comments
Although it should hardly come as a surprise, Nintendo customer service has no clue as to when Super Mario Bros. 3 will be launching on the North American Virtual Console.
Super Mario Bros. 3 landed in Europe right before the end of 2013 – for both Wii U and 3DS. Meanwhile, there hasn’t been any news about a stateside release aside from the fact that the game is coming… eventually.
Reader Andy decided to email Nintendo customer service in hopes of obtaining an update. Not much was revealed, but you can find the full response below.

RCMADIAX has more projects lined up for Wii U
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
BLOK DROP U is just the start of RCMADIAX’s support for the Wii U eShop. Additional projects are in the works for Nintendo’s digital store, including “Super Robo Mouse”.
RCMADIAX’s Michael Aschenbrenner shared the following information about the game while speaking with Always Nintendo:
This title is still early in development, but I can share a few basic details. You assume the role of a robot mouse that must get through the maze to the end goal. The goal at the end is locked and you must collect “Titanium Cheese” game pieces in order to unlock the goal. During your journey you will come across many obstacles including enemies and big bosses. You could say it falls in the puzzle platformer category. I am currently working with a professional artist to give the title a premium look and feel. I hope to have more information to share in mid-February about this title and would like to launch in Q2 2014.
Aschenbrenner says his “short term goal is to work on Wii U content exclusively.” At the moment, he’s working on free updates for BLOK DROP U as well as four projects, “of which 3 will remain Wii U exclusives”.

Varia Games takes ReVeN to Kickstarter
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 9 Comments
Varia Games has launched a Kickstarter for ReVeN. Those interested in the project can back the game here.
ReVeN is described as “a 2D shooter/platformer EVOLVED that will take you back to the good old days of classics like Metroid and Megaman while adding gameplay twists using our EDM system to add RPG elements that can be found in Crysis and Deus Ex.” Quite a bit to take in on that statement alone, though the video above should give you a better idea as to what the team has in store.
Varia Games hopes to raise $18,000 for ReVeN by February 22. The Kickstarter just went live yesterday, but has already raised $1,800.
