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…

Tower Records is promoting Splatoon in a big way. Starting on June 24 and ending on July 24, a special Splatoon-themed sale will be running.
Tower Records is planning on offering items like T-shirts, apparel such as mugs, stickers, and pins, confectionery, and more. Limited edition items including a backpack and water bottle will also be up for grabs through scratch cards distributed in store. If that wasn’t enough, the Splatune soundtrack will be sold as well, and free Squid Sisters-inspired stickers will be available on a limited basis.
Making the whole thing even neater is that the collaboration T-shirts will be added to Splatoon. We don’t know when exactly, but we’ll let you know when we hear more.
