You know what’s odd? Receiving details about a western game through Japanese sources. EA has announced the Wii U version of Need for Speed: Most Wanted for Japan, confirming a release date and bringing out a bit of information.
Most Wanted will be able to display menu content directly on the Wii U GamePad. It will also fully support Off-TV Play so that players can experience the entire game on the controller.
Need for Speed: Most Wanted Wii U is hitting Japan on March 14 for 6,615 yen. Oddly enough, we’re still waiting for launch date details overseas.

These figmas look amazing. There’s even a figure for Pit’s eggplant transformation!
Thanks to Abe for the tip.
Dragon Ball Heroes: Ultimate Mission is hitting Japan on February 28. When the game launches, a special edition will be available.
Lalabit Market is releasing a product that includes a card carrying case, which can hold up to 20 cards. Consumers will also receive six Hero Stadium card packs from the first through six seasons.
Dragon Ball Heroes: Ultimate Mission Lalabit Market special edition costs 7,980 yen. Meanwhile, the standard release will be priced at 5,800 yen.
The 3DS game card case was restocked in Club Nintendo around two weeks ago. Now the item is sold out.
Other sold out items include the fireworks fan, Donkey Kong poster set, and the previously-mentioned gold nunchuck.
Some (if not all) of these items will likely come back in the future. Stay on the lookout for updates.
Renegade Kid co-founder Jools Watsham has been tweeting about two of the studio’s upcoming projects throughout the day.
ATV Wild Ride 3D will be released in Europe, in case anyone had any doubt. When the game launches, it’ll be $10 or less. Online play and rankings are included.
Watsham also commented about Mutant Mudds Deluxe. The new content being included in the title will be exclusive to Wii U. Its levels (and any other additions) will not be ported to the 3DS version, PC and iOS editions, or any other platform.
V Jump has a few details about the Keiji Inafune-led 3DS title, Kaio: King of Pirates.
The magazine suggests that the team will be incorporating both regular battles and ship battles. Eag, Chobi, Wukan and Peguin comprise Kaio’s main cast.
V Jump shared the following tidbits about each character:
– Eag: Penguin’s friend and rival
– Chobi: one of Penguin’s men, strongest in terms of power
– Wukan: another member of Penguin’s crew, cool-headed and smart
– Penguin: has a a strong sense of justice and comradeship
Like other games in the series, Animal Crossing: New Leaf celebrated the New Year. Characters could wear special gear, while players can watch a countdown and fireworks.
