Last week, Notion Games said Nintendo invited the studio to bring Super Ubi Land to Wii U. This is something Notion is interested in, but it’ll need a little help first.

Notion will launch a Kickstarter next month in hopes of raising some money for a couple of Wii U eShop games – the previously mentioned Super Ubi Land and the 2D beat-em-up Team Notion. The Wii U-specific fundraiser will be kept low so that the goal will actually be attainable.

Remember how Zen Pinball 2 was supposed to arrive on the Wii U eShop this month? Well, today’s the last “Nintendo Download” of December, and the game won’t be out in either North America and Europe.

So where is the game? Nintendo of Europe’s site actually lists a December 27 release – which would be today – but it doesn’t look like it’ll be ready for prime time.

Maybe next month…
