The gold nunchuck is already sold out on Club Nintendo. If I’m remembering correctly, it went off the site much quicker than the first time the reward was made available. Hopefully those who were interested in the special nunchuck submitted their orders yesterday…
Before you scroll past because you have no idea what that is, Kunio-kun is the Japanese name for the series that spawned River City Ransom, Super Dodgeball, and Nintendo World Cup. So what does it mean that a teaser page for the series has been put up by Arc System Works?
It’s hard to say, but the last game released in this conglomerate series was a remake of Renegade on 3DS last year. That game has yet to come out outside of Japan.
GameStop has apparently disposed of its Wii U wait list in the wake of high demand for the console. A report has surfaced claiming that the retailer has simply decided to go in this direction due to significant pre-orders.
Those who were placed on the wait list will soon receive a call from GameStop about the change of plans, assuming this hasn’t happened already. From here on out, the console will only be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Many have wondered about what would happen to their Wii U if it were to break. Would your Nintendo Network ID still be intact? Would previously downloaded eShop games be made available to you?
This situation has, unfortunately, already happened to one unlucky gamer, but we at least have answers to some of these uncertainties.
In some cases, it sounds like Nintendo will provide consumers with brand new units if they’re irreparable. These consoles come with the day-one update pre-installed.
Regarding Nintendo Network IDs, users will be asked for their old account name, password, and email address during the initial setup. The system then warns that the ID will be inaccessible on other consoles.
And just like that, your old Nintendo Network ID will appear on the new console. Old notices will also appear on the system, and you should be able to download previously-purchased games once again.
The only strange thing is that some users have been experiencing issues getting onto the eShop with the new consoles sent to them. Hopefully that’s something Nintendo will address soon…

I can’t imagine this being anything other than a character reveal!
Looks like Europe and Australia are getting another 3DS eShop Picross game. The OFLC rated Picross e2 a few days back, meaning it should be available sometime soon.
Meanwhile, we’re still waiting for Jupiter’s first Picross 3DS eShop game here in North America. Fix that, Jupiter!
