The previously-announced Battle Mini Game in Minecraft: Wii U Edition now has a release date. Today, it’s confirmed that the content will be available for free on June 21.
A new trailer has accompanied today’s announcement. That can be found below.
The original Gunslugs is making its way to the European 3DS eShop very soon. A listing on the store indicates that it will be available in just a week’s time – June 16. Pricing is set at €1.99.
Two upcoming Wii U games can now be pre-loaded in North America. Starting now, it’s possible to purchase Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE and Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games in advance. Nintendo will let you download most of the data, with only a small update needed at launch to begin playing.
Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE requires 12.8GB of space. Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games takes up 2863.5 MB.
Nordic Games is continuing its support for Wii U. Following last year’s Legend of Kay Anniversary Edition and The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 which just came out this week, the publisher is preparing another title for Nintendo’s console.
Nordic Games business and product development director Reinhard Pollice teased on Twitter that an action-adventure title is on the way. Sadly, he didn’t elaborate any further.
Pollice’s tweet is as follows:
@GoldMetalSonic Yes, we have one in the works…I think Action Adventure fans will enjoy this a lot…

Lightwood Games is working on yet another title for Wii U and 3DS. Later this year, the indie developer will be launching Worcle Worlds on the eShop.
The classic mobile game Worcle has been reimagined for dedicated gaming systems. It’ll include “a large story mode with hundreds of missions across ten different worlds, local two player battles and live online games”.
Here’s a teaser:
