If you have a Virtual Console game on your Wii U through Wii mode, you can repurchase it on the eShop at a significant discount. We’re now hearing that a similar program may be offered between Wii U VC and 3DS VC games.
According to a new article written by Emily Rogers, a VC game would need to have launched for both Wii U and 3DS in order to be eligible – as you would expect. Rogers also clarifies that not all titles would be included in the program.
When might we be hearing about this from Nintendo? Perhaps not at E3, but likely before year’s end.
Rogers has also reiterated rumors about a gifting feature for the Wii U eShop, which was first provided on the Wii Shop Channel. This element is coming not only due to requests from gamers, but indie developers as well.
All leaks related to Call of Duty: Ghosts thus far have not included Wii U. PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions have continued to appear, but there hasn’t been any news about the shooter coming to Nintendo’s home console – until now.
Spanish retailer XtraLife has listed Call of Duty: Ghosts for Wii U. XtraLife mentions a November 11 release date and gives a look at Ghosts’ boxart:
Call of Duty: Ghosts is rumored to be announced in just a few days, so we may hear something official from Activision shortly.
A sequel to River City Ransom is on the way, courtesy of Combit Studios.
The NES game was produced by Techn?s Japan – a studio that closed well over a decade ago. While the original team won’t be working on the sequel, Combit Studios will be teaming up with Million, the company behind the GBA port of River City Ransom.
Combit Studios plans to begin a crowd-funding campaign sometime this summer. A release is planned for August 2014.
PC is the only confirmed platform for River City Ransom’s sequel currently, but additional platforms are “under consideration”. Perhaps we’ll see this one on the Wii U or 3DS next year then.
Update: A collector’s edition has been spotted on Wog.ch. It includes:
Silver, Gold & Platinum DLC
Aiden Figurine
Original Soundtrack
Artbook
Steelbook
Interactive Map of Chicago
3 Faction Badges
4 “Augmented Reality” Cards
Watch Dogs is getting a special edition, according to Netherlands retailer Game Mania.
Those who purchase Watch Dogs Special Edition will receive an additional single-player mission going by the name “Breakthrough Mission Pack”.
“There is secret meeting going on. The Chicago Club does power negotiations with CEOs of large companies. The club has hired scramblers to block. Monitoring devices Race through the city to find the scramblers and take them out. Grab all the names of those attending the meeting and upload their photographs for the rest of the world.”
Following the completion of the mission, players will earn the Vehicle Expert perk. This provides access to free vehicles through your Underground Car Contact and offers discounts on exclusive cars.
Game Mania’s listing likely applies to all of Europe. But will North America be getting the same special edition?
