Nintendo confirmed Picross e for the European eShop quite a long time ago. It was supposed to see a release in the second quarter of the year, but we’re already in the third quarter.
Fortunately, there are still plans to bring the game to Europe. This week’s eShop update features a trailer for Picross e as well as a message that it’s “coming soon”.
When exactly? We don’t know. Although maybe this is a sign that it’ll be arriving soon rather than later.
Wondering what Nintendo had to say regarding the possibility of launching Wii U in a black color variation? To be perfectly honest, it wasn’t much.
However, we now know for sure that Nintendo will be talking about the console’s launch date, price, components in the box, and colors all at once as soon as it’s ready to share that information.
This is Nintendo’s exact comments concerning a black Wii U at launch:
“When we announce the launch date, price and specific components to be included in the package, we will also discuss the color variations.”
On this week’s episode: New Super Mario Bros. 2, Heroes of Ruin, Month of Mario, and LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes.

We’re basically known for a few months now that Toki Tori 2 would be coming to Wii U. Today though, Two Tribes officially confirmed that its new project will be brought to the console.
Toki Tori 2 will be making use of the GamePad’s analog stick and buttons, but the controller will be specifically used for a new “Tokidex” feature.
Two Tribes explained how this feature works in a new blog post:
“The Tokidex feature allows you to scan the area around Toki Tori for creatures and objects by using the Wii U Gamepad as a virtual camera with a viewfinder. Any creatures photographed will be added to the Tokidex. It’s quite fun to do, especially with creatures that move quite a bit!”
