The 3DS download “Family Tennis 3D” will be heading to the North American eShop in the near future. Today’s store update confirms that the digital release from Arc System Works will be arriving “soon”. It’ll be priced at $6.99.
Other upcoming downloadable games include Order Up!! ($9.99), Slitherlink by Nikoli ($4.99), Akari by Nikoli ($4.99), and Johnny Kung Fu ($5.99).
Transformers Prime could be heading to Wii U. That’s according to the official site, which lists the upcoming console as an intended platform for the game.
It’s possible that Activision simply made a mistake. Then again, perhaps Transformers Prime is actually coming to Wii U.

It looks like we can eliminate one candidate for EA’s unannounced Wii U games. Visceral Games ruled out Dead Space 3 for the platform earlier this week.
Executive producer Steve Papoutsis was asked on Twitter if the project is planned for Wii U. Papoutsis responded, “not currently in the plan”.

Nintendo’s games of this generation are very, very different than the ones released back in the day – specifically the first Mario and Zelda.
Whereas you could essentially start playing the meat of the games within a couple of minutes, that’s not the case with some current releases. Kotaku, for instance, pointed out that it takes over an hour to reach the first dungeon in Zelda: Skyward Sword.
Fans may also say that some of Nintendo’s recent games have been “playing it safe”. As an example, all four New Super Mario Bros. games seem to be comparable in a number of aspects.
Shigeru Miyamoto was quizzed about some of these topics at E3 2012 last week.
