It’s been a long wait for European 3DS owners, but Mutant Mudds will be available on the eShop very soon – next week, actually!
The official Nintendo UK Twitter account has provided the release date news, so it’s official: European gamers can purchase Mutant Mudds on June 21.
A Dragon Quest X Wii hardware bundle is on its way to Japan.
Although not officially announced, Nintendo’s release calender lists “Dragon Quest X Wii System Bundle”. It’ll include a hardware system, a copy of the game, a black Classic Controller Pro, a Wii USB Memory card, and a ¥1000 Nintendo Prepaid card. Pricing details will be provided once the bundle is made official.
There’s also a second, non-hardware bundle planned for Japan which includes the game and a Wii USB Memory card. You can find the boxart for its packaging above.

Max Factory is readying a new Figma Zelda: Skyward Sword figure featuring Link. The product will be releasing in Japan this October for 3,800 yen. That’s only $48 or so – not a bad price for an impressive figure!
As much as we love Ubisoft, some of their decisions have been baffling. Case in point: Rayman Origins 3DS.
The game was pushed back once again in North America last week, but not to improve its quality. Ubisoft was simply waiting for the right time to launch the title so that it could promote another upcoming product, Rayman Legends.
Rayman Origins’s delay only applies to the US. European consumers can actually run out and purchase the game right now.
The situation doesn’t make much sense, but it is what it is.
With THQ’s recent downturn, newly appointed president Jason Rubin is looking to shake things up within the company. One of the first changes could be made with Darksiders, which may end with its second entry.
Rubin sees Darksiders II as an “interesting” title, but he feels that he “can get that team to make other very interesting games.”
Rubin said:
“Darksiders 2 is very interesting, but I think I can get that team to make other very interesting games.”
Surely a lot hinges on the financial success of Darksiders II. The first game in the series was well-received, but it performed poorly on the market. If Darksiders II bombs, fans may have to kiss the series goodbye.

One of the hot topics surrounding the launches of Wii and 3DS was related to the amount of stock available. With the Wii in particular, finding a system in stores was incredibly difficult for the first few months.
Will that happen with the Wii U? It’s anybody’s guess. Keeping that in mind, there could be a significant amount of units available in the console’s first six months if new comments from Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot can be relied on.
Guillemot believes Nintendo will produce five million units during the Wii U’s first six months on the market.
He noted:
“Generally, that’s what (Nintendo) does. The number can be more, it can be less… they are always limited in the number that they can build.”
