Some rumors are starting to circulate regarding the status of Wii U with European retailers. Supposedly, they’ll be unable to order additional stock after October 1 in most countries. It would suggest that European stores can order Wii U units for the holiday, with a discontinuation taking place after that.
There have also been rumors this week of Nintendo inviting European retailers to an event in Germany. However, it’s unclear if the information about Wii U was shared there.
You may recall that we originally posted about PSIBO last year. Now the game is almost ready for prime time. On the European eShop, a date of October 6 is listed.
Here’s an overview:
“PSIBO is a game that mashes together mechanics of many timeless arcade classics in a new, sleek form. Fight your way through the hexagonal defense systems of the universe, or try to get the highest score in the endless and classic modes!”
And a trailer:
The file size for another upcoming Wii U eShop game has been made known. VRog, coming from ByteRockers Games, takes up 192MB of space. The game launches on October 6 in Europe.
