Some Wii U owners in Japan are having issues launching the eShop and are also unable to apply the latest firmware update. Instead, they’re receiving error code “105-3102”. This also means that it’s impossible to start up Dragon Quest X’s new Wii U beta at the moment.
The issues are caused a program inside the console, Nintendo says, which will soon receive a patch. Users can expect an update sometime this weekend.

Namco Bandai has announced an interesting new title for the 3DS. “Disney Magic Castle My Happy Life” is heading to Nintendo’s portable in Japan, and it seems like it could be a fairly big deal.
Disney Magic Castle My Happy Life lets players use their Mii characters to meet Disney characters. Over 80 characters and more than 1,000 items are featured in the game.
Nintendo must view Disney Magic Castle My Happy Life as a pretty significant title, as it has approved a uniquely-designed 3DS XL system. A limited edition release containing the hardware will be priced at 24,830 yen while the standalone game will cost 5,490 yen.
Famitsu has shared the first details and screenshots from Conception II, Spike Chunsoft’s sequel to the original PSP game. A summary (all translations courtesy of Gematsu) of the magazine’s article – highlighting characters, gameplay, and more – can be found below. Also be sure to view Conception II’s first screenshots.
Atlus handled publishing duties for Etrian Odyssey IV in North America, but won’t be responsible for the game in Australia. Instead, NIS America (don’t let the name fool you!) will distribute the 3DS title throughout the continent. That’s according to a rating on the OFLC.
NIS America tends to publish Atlus-related releases in PAL territories. For instance, the company brought Persona 4: Golden to Europe. The OFLC listing probably means that NIS America will release Etrian Odyssey IV in both Australia and Europe.
Nintendo has yet to reveal the new additions/changes for Zelda: Wind Waker on Wii U, but the folks at “cubed3tv” have imagined a few possibilities – mainly in the controls department:
Tales Adventure isn’t the only Game Gear game recently rated by the ESRB. We’ve detected a rating for Crystal Warriors as well.
The rating is likely signaling an overseas release for the classic title on the 3DS. Japan already received the game on the eShop last month.
Amzy made a Japanese DSiWare game called “Clash of the Elementalists” back in 2011. A couple of years later, Teyon is bringing it to North America and Europe. Clash of the Elementalists is without a release date, but we do know that it’ll cost 500 points.
A mini fact sheet with details can be found below.
Shigeru Miyamoto recently made a media tour in North America. The press were given an opportunity to chat with the creator of Mario, Zelda, and countless other IPs.
One such interview from GameSpot covers areas such as Pikmin 3’s delay, the possibility of remaking more games for Wii U (like Wind Waker), what it’s like working with overseas developers such as Next Level Games,
the challenges with Wii U’s messaging, and more.
We’ve posted the full Q&A after the break.
