The Retro City Rampage DX update was submitted to NOA and NOE simultaneously, but it's unfortunately still sitting in NOA certification.

As soon as Nintendo pushes it though North American certification and it gets an NA release date, I'll let everyone know!

Are you one of those folks who likes trying things before buying? Then you’ll be happy to hear that a Citizens of Earth demo is on the way. Atlus will make the download available in North America next week.

The New 3DS XL is now completely sold out at GameStop. All systems are unavailable, including the red edition (sold out a couple of days ago) and the black version. Both remain in stock at Best Buy.
Update: Another tweet from NinjaBee is below. It looks like the studio hopes to bring out a demo in North America in hopes of improving sales, which could then potentially lead to a European release.
@NintendoHall We can't justify the expense with our current success. We hope that a demo will improve sales and allow us go to Europe.

NinjaBee could be teasing a demo for A World of Keflings on Wii U. The studio posted a message on Twitter today:
How many #WiiU gamers play demos as a way to test out digital games?
A #Keflings demo might be on the way.
#Nintendo #GameDemos #VideoGames

While not confirmed just yet, I think it’s safe to say that A World of Keflings will most probably be receiving a demo based on the above message. Stay tuned!
Well, this is certainly not a surprise! Nintendo is not responding to the Wall Street Journal’s report regarding Netflix’s live-action The Legend of Zelda show. Nintendo said: “We will not comment on the rumors or speculations.”
Curve Studios has announced that Titan Attacks! is coming to the 3DS eShop in all regions on February 26. Pricing is set at $9.99 / £7.99.
Titan Attacks! could be just the start of 3DS support from Curve Studios. Assuming it does well, the company may opt to make more games for the handheld.
Curve’s marketing manager Rob Clarke told Digital Spy:
“We’ve been toying with the idea of doing another 3DS game since Spincycle. People have been asking us about it since we announced Wii U ports last year, and we love the system in the office, but its technical specifications mean that not every game makes sense to port across. Titan Attacks was an ideal choice as it’s a relatively resource-light game, but it’s also a game that’s perfect for mobile formats and portable gaming. If it does well, we’re hoping to bring more of our games across to the 3DS at the same time as other versions.”
Ubisoft isn’t planning any additional games for Wii U. However, you may recall that the company said it has a title that finished development a long time ago, yet has not been released. Thanks to the folks at Unseen64, we now know which title Ubisoft is referring to. And it’s something that has technically been made known already.
It was about a year ago that the ESRB rated Ubisoft’s “Know Your Friends” for Wii U. It turns out that this is in fact the game Ubisoft has been sitting on.
Here’s the full ESRB description for those who haven’t heard about Know Your Friends in the past:
Candlelight Studios, the developer of the RPG Untold Story, really wants to bring the game to Wii U. There’s just one problem: money.
Creator Joshua Temblett told Nintendo Life that a Wii U version “would cost between £2,500 – £5,000”, and that’s something he doesn’t have at the moment. Temblett first intends to release Untold Story on PC. If he obtains the necessary funds, there’s a good chance we’ll see it on Wii U in the future.
Temblett’s full words:
I would love nothing more than to bring Untold Story to the Wii U, it does have NES inspired graphics after all!
I’ve estimated that in order to bring Untold Story to the Wii U it would cost between £2,500 – £5,000, that’s including language translation to get it onto each region’s eShop, as well as paying for each region’s rating services (ESRB, Pegi etc). Unfortunately, I can’t afford such an amount right now.
My aim is to release Untold Story first on Windows, and then looking into releasing it on the Wii U when I have the funds.
You can view a trailer for Untold Story above. You can keep track of updates on the official page here.
