Today’s news comes straight from Nintendo of Australia’s Twitter account:

If someone were to write a book on terrible game design, I feel as if Ninja Battle Heroes would be one of the main examples. Aside from its terribly uncreative title, this 3DS eShop game looks pretty appealing on the surface. Boasting a heavily Japanese-inspired universe along with a unique platforming experience, Ninja Battle Heroes seems like it could provide a small but desperately needed breath of fresh air to a genre that’s been long in need of one. Once inside, however, you’ll find a game that takes all of its interesting ideas and executes them poorly.
Arc System Works released a bunch of family-friendly games on the 3DS eShop like Family Bowling 3D and Family Kart 3D. Eventually, the company went on to bring a similar-styled experience to the Japanese Wii U eShop: “Family Tennis SP”.
It now appears that the title will be released overseas, based on a listing from the USK. But it won’t be published by Arc System Works as expected. Assuming I haven’t misunderstood the rating, Shin’en instead will handle distribution – at least in Europe.
Elminage Another Story seems to have been pushed back in Japan, as Amazon is now listing a November 13 release date on its website. The game was last expected out sometime this month. Although Star Fish hasn’t officially announced the delay, it wouldn’t be too surprising to see Elminage Another Story slip another few weeks.
A World of Keflings is heading to the Wii U eShop on November 13, NinjaBee has announced. The game will be available for $9.99.
NinjaBee shared the release date news on Twitter just a few moments ago with the following message:

Update: Here’s what Yacht Club says about the eShop listing:
@JeGeekJePlay Seeing that release date is a surprise to us honestly! Possibly a mix up?

@JeGeekJePlay The Wii U and 3DS versions should be released on the same day! Though we're still waiting to find out when that is exactly.

The European Wii U eShop has apparently dated several games for Europe.
First up, Shovel Knight will apparently launch on November 6 for €14.99. Yacht Club Games previously confirmed that the game would be launching in Europe and Australia next month, but a specific date wasn’t shared.
Also due out on November 6 is the eShop version of Disney Infinity 2.0. Wii U owners will be able to purchase the title for €29.99.
Last but not least, Picross e5 is slated for November 11 (with a €5.00 price point).
Note that while these dates are likely accurate, they have not been officially announced.
