A good amount of Wii U games tend to hit the eShop the same day as retail. Sniper Elite V2, however, will not be following this approach.
The official Sniper Elite Twitter account confirms that V2 will only be available as a disc release at launch:
@dreamahm Disc only for launch

It’s unclear if Sniper Elite V2 will arrive on the Wii U eShop at some point in the future.
Thanks to Tim for the tip.

Earlier this year, Nintendo announced that they were hard at work on re-releasing their hit Wii game Donkey Kong Country Returns for the 3DS, not surprisingly titled Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D. The game is essentially a carbon copy port of the Wii version aside from a few new additions explained after the break, but all the core levels and gameplay mechanics have been retained.
So, what can players expect from this handheld version? Hit the jump to find out.

The grand finale in this past, highly acclaimed Nintendo Direct was quite the doozy– not only will there be a brand-spankin’-new Zelda game for 3DS out in only six to eight months, it will also be a successor to the beloved A Link to the Past. But what exactly do we know about it? Is it a direct sequel? Is it the same game remade? Is it brand new? We’ve got 5 of the biggest things you can expect out of this title, right here on NintendoEverything!
Shadow of the Eternals, the spiritual sequel to Eternal Darkness, is coming to the Wii U through the eShop. But wouldn’t it be nice to play the GameCube game on the console as well? Like through a VC release, maybe?
That’s the question one fan asked Precursor Games on Facebook recently. In response, the studio said it “will definitely discuss” the possibility.
Check out the full Q&A below:
Q: Is there any chance that while in talks with Nintendo you can bring up a possible re-release of the GameCube’s Eternal Darkness as a Virtual Console release? It would allow hype to build on the game and allow people who had not played before to get into the series!
A: We will definitely discuss that. Thanks for the suggestion!
Of course, there is a significant roadblock: no GameCube titles have ever been made available through the Virtual Console, and Nintendo hasn’t announced any plans to do so in the future. I’m sure there are quite a few fans who would snatch up a digital re-release, though!
Tomodachi Collection: New Life shipped with a glitch that allows players to take on the role of a male Mii and fall in love, marry, and produce offspring with another male character. We say “glitch” because this isn’t how Nintendo intended to make the game. Players only encounter the situation when Miis are moved to the 3DS with the Mii transfer software.
Nintendo now intends to address the bug with an upcoming patch. The update, which should be going live soon for users, also fixes boot issues, general errors, a problem relating to saving, and an odd bug with a specific type of SpotPass notification.
The full North American website for Animal Crossing: New Leaf has gone live. Access the page here.
By visiting the site, you can check out New Leaf’s latest trailers, screenshots, and other media. There’s also lots of information about the game.
Amazon has added an extra pre-order incentive for Shin Megami Tensei IV
. If you reserve the game, you’ll receive a download code for the Eastern Kingdom of Mikado’s Samurai upper body armor. We first heard about the bonus through Amazon Canada, but the retailer is now offering the same item in the US.
Along with the costume, you’ll also be given a 176-page Strategy & Design Book from Prima Games, a Shin Megami Tensei Music Collection CD, and a Collectible Slipcase.
