Update: This promotion also applies to The Wonderful 101 and LEGO City: Undercover (for their respective launch weeks).

Those who purchase Pikmin 3 from the Japanese Wii U eShop will receive a discount. Nintendo is slashing the game’s price by 10% between July 13 and July 19.

A small little incentive for folks to go digital. Will a similar offer be made available overseas?

thatgamecompany made three titles in partnership with Sony. The studio’s contract ended following the release of Journey, so its future games are free to land on any platform.

Nothing has been announced, but there is now a possibility of thatgamecompany’s games heading to the Wii U due to its new-found independence.

thatgamecompany said the following when asked if the studio has any plans to release games on the Wii U eShop:

One Wii U eShop game that has slipped under the radar is “The Pinball Arcade”. It was originally planned for the Wii U launch window, but months went by without any news or updates from the developer. No need to worry though: the game is still very much in development, and it will be coming to the digital store in the somewhat near future.

We recently caught up with developer FarSight Studios, who confirmed that the beta build of Pinball Arcade will enter internal testing sometime within the next few days. Its final submission is scheduled for late July, with a release planned for September.

FarSight also told us that all of the tables in Table Packs 1 through 16 will be available for Wii U at launch.
