Consumers in Japan can only choose between two Wii U system options in Japan at present. There’s the original 8GB console released back in 2012, and the 32GB Wii Sports Club bundle featuring tennis, bowling, and golf.
Nintendo’s website confirms that all other Wii U consoles are no longer available in Japan, including the Dragon Quest X and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate packages, and the black/white Instant Play Family Sets.
Reader Marquis Ozu tells us that black Wii U systems as a whole are pretty much gone from all stores in Japan, which is understandable based on what Nintendo’s page has listed. Retailers like Sofmap and Bic Camera are no longer carrying the color variation, and that’s probably the case with all other locations.
The Wii U version of Disney Infinity has been given a new patch. Those who own the game should see a 1.3.0 update available. We’re not sure what it does at present, but we’ll let you know if we find any concrete information.
Thanks to Jason for the tip.
We found out today that 1001 Spikes will be launching in North America next Tuesday. But what about Europe?
As noted by Nicalis on Twitter, a summer release is currently targeted:
@MATT81DE We should have more news after e3, but we still are trying for this summer.

After a fairly long wait, How to Survive is finally making its way to Wii U. The European eShop has the game listed for a June 5 launch – that’d be next week. These listings aren’t always 100% accurate, though they’re spot on more often than not.
Thanks to MATT81DE for the tip.
