Rodea: The Sky Soldier’s overseas release won’t be launching in September as originally announced. NIS America has delayed the game about a month, and it will now ship in October.
Rodea: The Sky Soldier is due out in North America on October 13. The European launch is scheduled for October 16.
Along with today’s updated release date, NIS America announced a launch edition for the 3DS version of Rodea: The Sky Soldier in North America. This features a collector’s box and original soundtrack. As previously announced, those who pick up an initial copy of Rodea on Wii U will receive the original Wii title as a bonus.

Update: Bumped to the top. Nintendo has shared an update on Twitter and confirmed that all problems have been resolved.
Nintendo took to its Japanese Twitter account a short while ago and commented on the Wii U’s latest update.
Earlier in the week, Wii U firmware version 5.4.0 was made available. We hadn’t heard of any issues, but Nintendo mentioned on its Twitter account that users may be encountering error 108-0065. Nintendo of America’s support site indicates that the problem may appear while downloading a system update, and it can occur if the update times out.
Nintendo is already on the case, and hopes to have the issues resolved soon. The company apologized for the inconvenience, and advises Wii U owners to simply wait until things have been fixed.
Interestingly, we haven’t heard about any problems in North America or Europe yet. Could these issues only be affecting Japan at present?
Image & Form shared new footage from SteamWorld Heist as part of a crossover feature with Zombie Vikings (which may be coming to Wii U). We’ve embedded the video where SteamWorld Heist is shown below.
Little Orbit has announced its lineup for E3 2015. The publisher will have four titles on display, including Adventure Time: Finn and Jake Investigations, Monster High New Ghoul In School, Barbie and Her Sisters Puppy Rescue, and Kung Fu Panda: Showdown of Legendary Legends.
Head past the break to read up on overviews of each of these games.
Square Enix issued a few new Dragon Quest VIII screenshots today. Take a look at them in the gallery below.
On his Twitter page, Digital Eclipse’s Frank Cifaldi has been sharing additional details about the Mega Man Legacy Collection, which was announced earlier in the week.
Here’s a summary of what Cifaldi mentioned:
– Save slot for each game
– Won’t feature any new art that isn’t featured in the big Mega Man 25th anniversary art book
– No filter, NTSC composite simulation, RGB monitor filters
– Unclear if 3D will be supported
– Can stretch 16:9 if you want
– Not restoring unused content from the Mega Man 3 cart
– Audio is apparently “spectacular”
– The team contracted an expert to help with audio
On the project’s intent:
My god, though, I promise this isn't a cheap cash-in collection. This is our attempt to prove there's a market for respecting our heritage.

Decision to focus on the first six Mega Man games:
@ZeroAndShadow @Capcom_Unity because I'd rather spend time on extras than on making more games work

Over in Europe, Nintendo has picked up a trademark for Diddy Kong. The name was just filed and made public today.
Does this mean anything? My personal guess would be no, but I’ve been wrong plenty of times before!
There’s been a whole bunch of speculation about what will/won’t be at the Nintendo Digital Event next week. Some people have been wondering what Retro Studios has been up to, for example. And based on a tweet the company sent out earlier in the week, some believe that Retro could unveil a new game during Nintendo’s E3 presentation.

Could Retro be developing a Diddy Kong game of sorts? What if a developer like Monster Games was put in charge of a new Diddy Kong Racing?
