Four new Virtual Console games are on track for the Japanese Wii U eShop next week. Bubble Bobble (Famicom, 500 yen), Wario’s Woods (Famicom, 500 yen), New Adventure Island (TurboGrafx-16, 600 yen), and Penguin Adventure (MSX, 800 yen) will be out on January 29.
A small update is out now on Wii U’s Netflix application.
Users will now see a big ‘+’ button, which allows for a show, series, or film to be added to their “My List” section. The button will change to a minus so that the item can be removed later. Additionally, it is now possible to jump to a list of all available programs even if you’ve watched it before.
Nothing too exciting, but it should improve Netflix’s overall experience on Wii U.
Update: Bumped to the top of the page. We have the following tweets from Nintendo of America’s Twitter account:

Pokemon Bank has finally returned to the Japanese 3DS eShop. Earlier this month, the app was pulled following extensive downtime affecting Nintendo’s online services. Perhaps this is a sign that we’ll be seeing Pokemon Bank in the west soon as well?
Arc System Works’ platforming game Nazotoki Castle is hitting the Japanese 3DS eShop next week – January 23. Pricing is set at 500 yen. For the game’s introduction trailer, check out the video above.
