Nintendo will release new eShop cards for the launch of Wii U, according to Walmart. The retailer is listing cards of three different values: $20, $35, and $50.
Consumers will be able to use the items to purchase content from either the Wii U or 3DS eShops, including games and more.
For all three listings, head on over to this link.
Just in case you had any doubts, Tomorrow Corporation confirmed on its blog that the studio is pushing to release Little Inferno for Wii U in time for the console’s launch. If all goes well, it should be out in mid-November.
Little Inferno will be joined by other stand-out indie titles including Chasing Aurora, Trine 2: Director’s Cut, Toki Tori 2, and Nano Assault Neo (and there are others!).
The latest word on CIRCLE Entertainment’s tower defense/dragon fighting/shoot em up game is that it has passed Nintendo’s North American approval process and is awaiting certification in Europe. After that? We just have to wait. Once they get word of the release dates and work them out with Nintendo, we’ll be the first to let you know! In the meantime, watch the above-shown trailer.
“If you look at the upcoming Christmas market, the Wii will be selling in very low volumes – it’s on its way out – and the Wii U will arrive, but it will bring in a relatively small number of early adopter consumers. We see ourselves well positioned for the casual market who won’t buy Wii U on day one. We’ve got a wow moment, we feel. I remember when people picked up the Wii controller for the first time, that was a big moment, it was a casual market breakthrough, but we thing we’ve got a casual market breakthrough as well with Wonderbook and the lowest priced PS3 yet.” – Sony’s Managing Director of PSUK, Fergal Gara
Whoa, I completely forgot about Wonderbook. If that’s what Sony is banking on to help them win the casual market… yikes. Don’t get your hopes up, Sony! Of course, they also had some nice words for the Big N when discussing casual markets:
“If you look at the casual market overall in the last few years, there’s no doubt that the kings of that market has been Nintendo, they have done a great job with a great product.”
