Based on a new listing on the eShop, Falling Skies: The Game could be heading to Europe in a couple of weeks. The official game page includes an October 30 release date at the moment. This hasn’t been officially confirmed, but listings on the eShop tend to be spot on these days.
Stealth Inc 2 has slipped from its October 23 release date, though only slightly. It will now arrive on October 30 – one week later than initially planned.
Stealth Inc 2 is a week later than our previously mentioned release date, but don't worry, we got 90% in ONM this week, it's worth the wait!

Nintendo updated the official Smash Bros. website today with a new look at the Amiibo usage in Smash Bros. Wii U. You’ll find a set of images in the gallery above, and a comprehensive overview below.
Essentially, amiibo are character figures that allow you to connect directly to your amiibo-compatible games. Super Smash Bros. for Wii U can read your amiibo and transform them into what we call “figure players” that will join the battle with – or against – you!
Figure Players Join the Battle
Adding figure players to the game is easy. When selecting fighters to play in a Smash battle mode, simply touch the NFC touchpoint with your amiibo and a figure player will appear in an empty fighter slot.
Nintendo has revealed a new element of Mario Kart 8’s first DLC pack. Players will be able to use the “Master Cycle” – a special vehicle created specifically for the DLC.
Mario Kart 8’s debut DLC pack launches next month. A specific release date has not yet been announced.
