One new Virtual Console game is on track for the Japanese Wii U eShop next week. Famicom Tantei Club Part II: Ushiro ni Tatsu Shōjo, a Super Famicom release, will be out on July 31. Pricing is set at 800 yen.
LEGO Marvel Super Heroes appears to be launching on October.
We’ve been digging around various retailer listings for release date information, and came across a few that have something in common. Amazon, GameFly, and GameStop all say that LEGO Marvel Super Heroes will be out on October 22.
Warner Bros. previously confirmed a vague fall 2013 window for the title.
In other news, those who pre-order LEGO Marvel Super Heroes from Amazon, will receive a $10 credit. The offer is valid for almost all versions – with the DS game being the one exception.
