Polarium Advance was one of the new games added to the European Wii U Virtual Console last week. Several minutes of footage is in the video below.
Natsume posted the first official gameplay video from Harvest Moon: Seeds of Memories on its Facebook page today. Although it’s specifically from the iOS build, the footage gives us an idea as to what we can expect from the Wii U version. Take a look at the video below.
Harvest Moon: Seeds of Memories (iOS)
Hello, everyone! This is Taka, the producer of Harvest Moon: Seeds of Memories, a new Harvest Moon game coming to iOS soon as well as Android, Wii U, and PC in 2016. We know fans were very excited by our reveal of our first screenshots for the mobile versions, and we're excited to bring you a new treat today. To show you how Harvest Moon: Seeds of Memories looks in action, we've made a little video for you of the iOS version. But let me step aside and have Mike (that is what I named him, but you can name your character whatever you want) take over…—–Hey there, everyone! Mike here! I thought it might be cool to show you my average day here in Chestnut Town, so let's get right to it.I start the day off by taking care of my pets. I have two: a bobcat and a dog. I still dunno how I was able to train that bobcat, but hey, it hasn't tried to eat me yet! I make sure to feed them both before I leave for the day.After leaving the house, it's time to take care of my crops! Luckily, Brutus has upgraded several of my tools, so watering is a cinch! It looks like there's some spinach that's ready to be harvested today. Perfect timing! I also take this time to clear my land of any stray rocks or weeds that may have popped up overnight.Next, it's time to take care of my animals. First, I clean up the barn using my pitchfork. I can use the compost I clean up as fertilizer, though, so it's not as bad as you might think. Some of my animals need cleaning as well, so I take the time to do that too. Normally, I would also milk and sheer any animals that need it, but it doesn't seem like they do today. Naturally, before I leave, I make sure to leave feed in their feedbox, as they're quite hungry in the morning!After that, it's off to my chicken coop. Just like my barn, I clean it up using my pitchfork. You might not think it to look at them, but chickens need to be loved and held, so I take the time to do that before gathering the eggs they've laid. Just like the animals in my barn, my chickens are hungry in the morning, so I feed them before I leave.Next, it's off to the mountain to see the girl I've got my eye on, Andrea! She's an ore researcher, but also likes to relax at the bar after work. My kinda gal! In any case, I make it a point to talk to her every day, as well as give her a gift. I still haven't confessed my feelings to her, so get kinda nervous when I talk to her these days…While I'm at the mountain, I figure I should get in some fishing for the day. Let's see what I can catch today… A crucian carp? Not bad. And a pretty big one, too!Now it's time to head to Chestnut Town. I want to sell Sam some broccoli, so I talk to him first. Boy, that Sam sure has a unique way of talking! At first, it was a bit difficult to understand what he was saying to me, but now I gots it down, capisce?Next, it's off to Iris' Flower Shop to pick up some flower seeds. I've had my eye on these white rose seeds for a while, so let me get…let's see, how about 15 of them? Oh no! My bag is full! But that's OK! The seeds I just bought were sent directly to the storage in my house, so I can just take them out from there when I get home.After that, I think I'll stop by Hanna's Restaurant to say "hi" to Hanna and her daughter, Emily. Hanna's food is amazing! I've bought some of her recipes so I can cook her dishes at home. Anyway, her daughter Emily is great, too. She's a bit too hyper for my tastes as far as romance goes, but some people like that in a girl. She's a great friend, though!Finally, it's off to bed for the day. *Whew*! I'm exhausted! Farmwork starts early in the morning, so it's best to get to bed around 10 PM or so. And who knows what tomorrow may bring? I need to be prepared for anything!

Telltale Games has prepared a new trailer for Minecraft: Story Mode’s fourth episode. View it below.
A few months ago, we told you about Noowanda’s plans to bring Discovery to the Wii U eShop. The game now has a release date in North America, where it will be getting an eShop release on January 7. Pricing is set at $6.99.
In Discovery, players can use blocks to build and modify big worlds. There are over 140 materials to mess around with and electric circuits with light sensors, switches, wires and light bulbs. On Wii U, a 2-player cooperative mode is included which has one player using the GamePad while the other looks on the television screen and uses a Pro Controller, Wii Remote (Plus), or Classic Controller (Pro).
Here’s a trailer for Discovery:

Nintendo sees potential in amiibo. So says president Tatsumi Kimishima, who told Japanese outlet Sankei the following:
“There is still potential in amiibo. We want to make ‘the expansion of function to play with the game as a single entity’ one of the big pillars.”
Kimishima echoed something similar in an interview with TIME earlier this month. He said that Nintendo hasn’t yet established amiibo “as an enhancement for all of our software at this point.” Rather than using them in games, amiibo have instead been used “more as a collection item”.
As confirmed through a listing on the eShop, New Super Mario Bros. Wii will be available for purchase on European Wii U systems starting on January 7. The game will cost €19.99. Nintendo hasn’t said when New Super Mario Bros. Wii will be out in North America, but we’ll let you know if we hear anything on that front.
A new Final Fantasy Explorers uploaded today shows off the game’s multiplayer offerings. We’ve posted it below.
