Wii U will be getting a Minecraft game at some point soon in the form of Minecraft: Story Mode. Interestingly enough, the game is built around the actual Minecraft engine, which has been ported over to Wii U.
“The sets and the environments and everything that looks like Minecraft is actually built in Minecraft and that gets shifted over to all the different platforms,” Telltale’s director of creative communications Job Stauffer told Family Gamer TV.
Given that information, one would think that it’d be easier than ever to bring the core Minecraft experience to Wii U. Maybe one day…
Hoopa will be made available at select GAME retailers between October 23 and November 5, 2015. A copy of Pokémon X, Pokémon Y, Pokémon Omega Ruby, or Pokémon Alpha Sapphire will be required to receive the Mythical Pokemon. This official distribution will also provide players the availability to transform Hoopa into Hoopa Unbound using the prison bottle item in Pokémon Omega Ruby, or Pokémon Alpha Sapphire.
The official announcement also provided plenty of screenshots to browse. Check them out below:

Game Boy games on the 3DS Virtual Console appears to be a thing of the past. According to a tweet from Natsume, Nintendo has “moved on” from such releases on the eShop.
Here’s what Natsume said when asked about the possibility of Tail Gator on the 3DS eShop:
@MegaFlare0 Nintendo have moved on from Game Boy games. If it's a Natsume game not out now, it's not coming.

The 3DS Virtual Console as a whole has actually been pretty dead for awhile. I believe the Donkey Kong Land games came out in February, and we haven’t seen anything since. The last 3DS VC release in Japan was in December 2014.
