We’ll be seeing Rynn’s Adventure: Trouble in the Enchanted Forest on the North American Wii U eShop this Thursday. To download the game, you’ll need 941MB of free space. It drops down to 899MB once installed.
Jakks Pacific is continuing its support of Nintendo merchandise throughout 2016. Among other things, fans can purchase new 2.5″ figures with more on the way. The image above gives us a look as to what’s in store.
Disney is now out of the video game publishing business entirely. When Disney Infinity was cancelled, the company’s Disney Interactive division also closed. In the future, Disney IPs will now be licensed instead.
In comes Ron Gilbert, the designer/creator of Monkey Island as well as Maniac Mansion. On Twitter, he expressed interest in buying the Monkey Island and Maniac Mansion IPs.
He said:
Dear @Disney, now that you're not making games, please sell me my Monkey Island and Mansion Mansion IP. I'll pay real actual money for them.

Indie developer Red Column is back with another update on its Wii U game 3Souls. Today’s video – posted below – gives us a look at co-op.
Here’s a breakdown of the new co-op mode:
This mode will be able to be activate it during the entire game. By doing so, you will add another player to get the control of the character (Nelesa in the first episode) and control her steps through the platforms with the Wii Remote or Pro Controller. The second player, will remain with the Wii U GamePad to stay in charge of the soul, informing of the thoughts and feeling of the character, and connecting to the portals of the world to be able to solve the puzzles of the game with the features of the Wii U GamePad.
This will be perfect for those who are not really good at platform and prefer the puzzles, or the other way around, sharing the experience of the game with a friend.
It will also show a different way of enjoy the game, forcing you to coordinate with the other player that knows the information on where you jump or where to go, information that you can only obtain on the Wii U GamePad.
Red Column hopes to have 3Souls’ first episode known as Nelesa out by the end of June or beginning of July. It’s already with Nintendo for lot check.

More footage is in of Kirby: Planet Robobot. Here’s a half hour of gameplay showing World 4 in English:
Update (5/23): Both Yo-kai Watch 2 versions now have the Amazon Prime discount. They’re each available for 20 percent off.
Original (5/18): Nintendo announced this week that Yo-kai Watch 2 is heading to North America on September 30. Retailers are now starting to take pre-orders for both versions.
Over on Amazon, you can reserve Bony Spirits here and Fleshy Souls here. GameStop is also taking Bony Spirits pre-orders here and Fleshy Souls pre-orders here.
Update (5/23): The servers are now back up and running (thanks Squirrelisious). Crisis averted?
Original (5/22): Call of Duty: Modern Warfare – Reflex Edition players are now unable to experience the game’s online multiplayer. The servers went down recently, and Activision support has not responded to any inquiries on the situation since. It’s now absolutely confirmed, but it would seem that this permanent as opposed to a temporary issue.
Call of Duty: Black Ops can’t be played online either. That means Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is the only Wii entry in the series available for online play.
Amazon and currently has the Mega Man Legacy Collection Collector’s Edition on sale. As opposed to $50, it can now be yours for only $40. That amounts to $10 (20 percent) in savings.
River City Ransom: Underground was once under consideration for both Wii U and 3DS. The game’s Kickstarter missed out on stretch goals for both platforms, but Conatus Creative still expressed interest in bringing the game to those two systems.
Wii U and 3DS are still possibilities for River City Ransom: Underground, but things are less certain now. The developer told ntower, “We have no immediate plans for Wii U or 3DS but will re-evaluate based on sales on Windows, then decide which platforms make the most sense to port next.”
We do at least know that there is one River City-related title guaranteed for a Nintendo platform. River City: Tokyo Rumble will be on 3DS this summer.
