A few weeks back, Chu Chu Rocket landed on the Japanese Wii U Virtual Console. Find some footage in the video below.
Another 45 minutes of footage is in for Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty. Check out the Wii U gameplay video below.
The demo for Bravely Second will be available on the European eShop later today. Chances are you were going to get it anyway if you’re interested in the full game, at the very least because of the in-game bonuses which are unlocked if you transfer data over from the demo. Now there’s another compelling reason: if you download the demo, the full game will cost you 10% less if you buy it via the Nintendo eShop. Unless you’re getting the game’s Special Edition, this is a pretty good deal.
The offer is valid until March 10th; the game launches on February 26th.

Will the two of them manage to work together and save Magiana?”
