Nigoro has provided an update on the overseas WiiWare release of La-Mulana. The company is saying that there remains a strong chance that the game will arrive in North America in Europe.
When the title does make it out – which is basically fait accompli at this point – it won’t come with the Hell temple.
Right now the publishing plan is “proceeding smoothly”. Nigoro will share another update “when the release is entirely confirmed.”

Rocksteady Studios is rumored to be working on a third Batman project based on the Silver Age of DC’s 1950s comic books. The game would serve as a sequel to Arkham Asylum and Arkham City, Variety reports.
Silver Age’s comics saw Batman teaming up with other renowned heroes including Superman. The Justice League of America was formed as well.
