Lately there has been some concern about Kid Icarus: Uprising seeing a worldwide delay. Don’t worry, though! It’s true that the title is supposedly due out next year in Europe, but it looks like Masahiro Sakurai’s next game is still launching in North America this year.
Nintendo’s June NPD response contained the following blurb:
“This holiday season, Nintendo will offer something for everyone with fan-favorite titles including Super Marioâ„¢, Mario Kartâ„¢, Kid Icarusâ„¢: Uprising, Star Fox 64â„¢ 3D and The Legend of Zeldaâ„¢: Skyward Sword.”
Nintendo is a sneaky bunch. Despite not including it in their press update earlier today, Nintendo has released Super Earth Defense Force as a Virtual Console download on the Wii Shop Channel.
Nintendo of America posted the following message on their Twitter account a couple of hours ago:
“Super NES classic Super Earth Defense Force moves to the Virtual Console. It’s now available for download on the Wii Shop Channel.”
Super Earth Defense Force is available now for 800 Wii Points.
