Update: Castle has confirmed that the tease is indie-related.

Original: ONM is teasing a new Wii U title for its next issue. While the magazine itself didn’t offer much in the way of hints, editor Matthew Castle has ruled out one possibility.

Castle confirmed on Twitter that the mystery game isn’t related to Sonic Boom. He said:

The comment “what it is may no longer be relevant” is a bit interesting. Perhaps an attempt to lower expectations? Could it be some other Wii U title we recently heard about such as Art of Balance? Or maybe we’ll be hearing about the game before the next issue of ONM is out?

Have you ever bought a game based on nothing but the title? I sure have and that’s why I’m now writing about Jesus: Ky?fu no Bio Monster (or to use the fan-translated name – Jesus: Tale of the Dreadful Bio-Monster). Don’t go into Jesus expecting some kind of insane Japanese take on Christianity, though, as it’s more about researchers fighting space monsters and anime girls rocking out on synthesizers – or sometimes both at the same time. It’s hardly the most exciting game to play, but it still manages to be crazy in its own way.

Amazon has the Wii U version of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate available for $21.31. It’s been fluctuating between $21 and $22 over the past few hours, but the price changes have been extremely minor.

You can place an order here. FRONTIER HOBBY SHOP is doing the selling, though Amazon is fulfilling orders.

Earlier this month, website PlayBoxie opened a website so that PlayStation 4 and Xbox One owners could play HTML5 games through the consoles’ web browsers. The same functionality was extended to Wii U within the last week.

You can check out the site here. If you visit the page on Wii U, it automatically detects your console and provides a selection of titles compatible only with the Wii U controller.

Thanks to JurassicJunkie for the tip.

Kung Fu Rabbit will be available on the North American 3DS eShop this month, according to a listing on Nintendo’s website.

The game was previously confirmed for Nintendo’s handheld a few months back. Neko Entertainment originally hoped to publish the game last year, but it slipped into 2014.

Nintendo’s page lists a February 20 release date for the 3DS version of Kung Fu Rabbit. A price point has not been confirmed as of yet.

Retro City Rampage: DX has only been out for a couple of days – and has yet to land in Europe – but a free content update is already in the works.

A message posted on the game’s official Twitter account confirms the news:

Retro City Rampage: DX launched on the North American 3DS eShop this past Thursday. It should be out in Europe on February 20.

The Official Nintendo Magazine has teased a new game set to be revealed in its April issue.

A teaser discovered in the current edition reads:

“OOOOOH! New Wii U game! (And no, it isn’t F-Zero or Star Fox).”

An important word of caution: there’s a fairly high chance that the tease is for Sonic Boom. That’s not at all confirmed, but wouldn’t be at all surprising given how it was just announced a few days ago, and ONM likely couldn’t talk about the title before publishing its latest issue.
