Natsume confirmed A-Train: City Simulator for North America last year. However, the publisher didn’t have much to say about the game’s European release.
Thanks to a listing on the Australian ratings board, we now know for sure that A-Train: City Simulator will be available in PAL territories. We don’t have any sort of release date, but it should definitely launch sometime this year.
Time is quickly running out on one of the Club Nintendo promotions for Super Smash Bros. on Wii U/3DS. If you haven’t already registered your games, be sure to do that before tomorrow ends – otherwise you won’t receive your soundtrack CD. The CD will ship sometime in March.
Those who partake in the Club Nintendo promotion will receive two bonuses. Along with the soundtrack CD, players will be provided with free Mewtwo DLC this spring.
You can find more information on the official page here.
Shin’en typically develops and releases its own titles on the eShop. However, the studio is breaking that tradition for a new game coming out on Wii U in a few days.
Family Tennis SP launches on the eShop this Thursday. It was actually developed by Japanese company Arc System Works – not Shin’en.
As for why Shin’en is publishing Family Tennis SP, the studio has formed a close relationship with Arc System Works. The latter company publishes all of Shin’en’s Wii U and 3DS titles in Japan. And so… “It was time to return that favor,” Shin’en recently explained on Twitter.
@NintenDaan ASW publishes our 3DS+WiiU titles in Japan. It was time to return that favor 🙂

Has Totaka’s Song been found in Mario Kart 8? Apparently so! It seems that a Yoshi NPC sings the song on multiple tracks – see the video above for an example.
If you need a refresher on Totaka’s Song, take a look at the video below:
