Players Uncover the Mystery Behind Wish Park and Rescue Missing Pokémon
REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Today’s launch of the new PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond game for the Wii console invites players on a new Pokémon adventure. Pikachu and his Pals – Oshawott, Snivy and Tepig – must work together to discover the secrets of the mysterious Wish Park and save missing Pokémon. Players can play as any one of these four Pokémon, and because each Pokémon has its own unique abilities, they’ll need to switch between them to overcome various obstacles along the way. Pikachu will encounter new Pokémon and reunite with old favorites in a colorful array of new areas and environments.
“The imaginative fun of the world of Pokémon really comes to life in PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “The game offers fun challenges and adventures for Pokémon fans of all experience levels.”

Team Meat says eShop has 2GB file size limit, wants next game on Wii U
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
Nintendo is enforcing a 2GB file size limitation on the 3DS eShop according to Team Meat’s Tommy Refenes. This restriction would be much more reasonable than WiiWare’s 40MB limit.
In issue #72 of Nintendo Gamer, Refenes also said “Super Meat Boy would have been on WiiWare if we could have had just a few more megabytes of space”.
He told the magazine:
“[WiiWare’s] 40MB is horrible, but [3DS’s] 2GB is reasonable. Super Meat Boy would have been on WiiWare if we could have had just a few more megabytes of space – you can only compress stuff so much before you have to start cutting out huge parts of your game. Unfortunately, at that point, it just isn’t worth the time.”
Refenes wrapped up his comments by noting Team Meat would be interested in bringing their next game to the Wii U:
“If we can in the future, we’d like our next game to be on Wii U as well as everything else.”
Thanks to joclo for the tip!

XSEED tweeted the following:
“Re: an LE – We’re still in the process of planning what we can do for the North American release and nothing has been finalized yet. …But IF we did have an LE, I hear it’s easy to switch pre-orders.”
