Mega Man 2 will be hitting the Japanese eShop as a Famicom download on August 8 for 500 yen. Screenshots of the game can be found above.
The WWE franchise won’t be coming to Wii U this year. Creative director Cory Ledesma gave a simple “no” when asked if WWE ’13 is in development for Nintendo’s new console.
While that is disappointing for wrestling fans, we at least know that WWE ’13 is on its way to the Wii. It’ll be released alongside the PlayStation 3/Xbox 360 versions on October 30.
Mitchell Corporation, the developer of such titles as Polarium and Magnetica, is making a new eShop title for Nintendo. Gyoretsu Nageloop is scheduled for an August 8 release on the Japanese store. It will cost 700 yen.
Not much is known about the game at this point. Considering its launch is next week, concrete gameplay details should be coming soon.
Check out Gyoresu Nageloop’s official site for a teaser video of sorts.
EA’s annual Summer Showcase is just a couple of days away. The event will be held this Thursday at 1:00 PM PT / 4:00 PM ET.

EA is promising “presentations, announcements, and live demos” for its upcoming lineup. With any luck we’ll get a look at some of its games running on Wii U.
Other than Mass Effect 3 and sports promises, EA doesn’t have too much in store for Wii U – well, as far as we know. But EA chief operating officer Peter Moore, speaking during the company’s first quarter earnings call today, said “We’re keeping a very close eye on the platform.”
Regarding the partially “lackluster response” coming out of E3, Moore stated that EA now understands to “never underestimate Nintendo, as proven by the last generation.”
Moore wasn’t ready to announce anything new for Wii U today. Having said that, he believes that EA has “great franchises poised to be on that platform. He added, “We’ll probably announce more in the future.”
This sure came out of the blue.
On its Twitter account, Nintendo of America revealed that two new DSi color variations are coming to North America. Matte Red and Matte Blue will be available at retailers as early as this week.
These colors appear to be for the original DSi only. In other words, they don’t apply to the DSi XL.
