Three new Virtual Console games are heading to the North American Wii U Virtual Console this week. Wild Gunman, Hogan’s Alley, and The Adventures of Bayou Billy are arriving tomorrow for $4.99 each.
Here’s an overview of Wild Gunman:
“Go back in time or relive it in today’s future with the classic Wild West shoot-out of Wild Gunman! Keep your hand steady on the Wii Remote, and get the outlaw before he gets you. If you think you can win the battle against one outlaw, try winning against all of his friends.”
A few months ago, XSEED teased dual audio for Return to PopoloCrois: A Story of Seasons Fairytale. This has since been confirmed via today’s European announcement for the title. When Return to PopoloCrois: A Story of Seasons Fairytale launches in the west, you’ll be able to select the original Japanese voices or English dub.
PopoloCrois: A Story of Seasons Fairytale is due out before the winter ends in North America. Europe will be getting the game sometime in Q1 as well.

Square Enix has sent out a new information update for Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3. This time around, we learn about Monster Synthesis. Find some details and screenshots rounded up below.
– Can strengthen creatures through “Monster Fusion”
– Join 2 parent monsters together to make a more powerful ‘child’ monster
– By joining together monsters born out of fusion, they can reborn as even stronger monsters
– By repeatedly fusing monsters, you can continue to increase the power of your monsters
– Perform a Monster Synthesis by selecting two monsters as the ‘parents’ of the synthesis
– Monsters are gender-less, so you can choose your favorite monsters
– Ex: combine Nasubinara and Smile Lizard to get the completely new monster Fondue

– Monsters born out of synthesis will level up and exceed the abilities of their parents
– There are a number of potential monster combinations
– Some special monsters can only be born through specific combinations
– Monsters born out of synthesis can also inherit skills from their parents
– This is in addition to the skills it is born with
– From a single skill, it can learn various special techniques and magic
