North America/Europe

January – Balloon Fight (NES)
February – F-Zero (SNES)
March – Punch Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream (NES)
April – Kirby’s Adventure (NES)
May – Super Metroid (SNES)
June – Yoshi / Mario & Yoshi (NES)
July – Donkey Kong (NES)

Japan

January – Balloon Fight (NES)
February – Fire Emblem: Monsh? no Nazo (Mystery of the Emblem) (SNES)
March – Mother 2 (EarthBound) (SNES)
April – Kirby’s Adventure (NES)
May – Super Metroid (SNES)
June – Yoshi’s Egg (Yoshi) (NES)
July- Donkey Kong (NES)

Mother 2 automatically makes Japan’s lineup better, in my opinion. We’ll be getting Punch-Out!! instead. Fire Emblem is also planned for release in Japan in February while North America will be receiving F-Zero.

You may remember that GameCenter CX did a special episode with Satoru Iwata late last year. That segment featured Balloon Fight. Now GameCenter has returned with a new episode focusing on the same game – this time with the Wii U VC release.

“This being our first launch title, we did not know what to expect. And we’re still puzzled by the dynamics of this launch. I can’t deny that I had higher hopes but this has more to do with my personal attitude than with the performance of the game itself. As for the game, the Christmas sale did really well and the eShop is hitting his stride now. We’re still learning how to operate in this new and exciting environment.

“Obviously, we’ve got the technology in place and the capability to make another Wii U title. Yet as a small studio we have to chose very careful what platforms we’re targeting. From the current perspective we plan to bring our next game to the Wii U. But I can’t see into the future, so I can’t guarantee anything at this point.” – Broken Rules’ Martin Pichlmair

Yea, the Miiverse community for Chasing Aurora is among the smallest on the whole service, so it’s no surprise the game didn’t sell so well. Most of the reviews I’ve seen have been average at best, and the game just didn’t seem like something a lot of people needed to pick up with all the other eShop and retail titles available! Hopefully their next game does better– and is better!

Greek developer Pelikan13 launched a Kickstarter for “The 90’s Arcade Racer” just a few days ago. At the moment, it’s standing at £3,146 (roughly 31%) of the £10,000 goal. With 26 days remaining, the campaign has a good shot of becoming a fully-funded project.

The 90’s Arcade Racer has been confirmed for a few platforms thus far, but not Wii U. Could that change in the future? Pelikan13 seems open to the possibility, telling Nintendo Life:

“These are early days for me to be thinking that far ahead, once the game nears completion I will see what other versions I can consider. It’s mainly a financial issue. Having said that, I own and very much enjoy playing on Wii U and 3DS, so it’s something that I would really like to see happen in the future.”

If you want to learn more about the project, hit up the Kickstarter link here. Perhaps we’ll see this one on the Wii U eShop one day!
