Gaiabreaker is heading to the European Wii U eShop next week, a listing on the digital store reveals. The game will be available next Thursday for €10.99. Gaiabreaker wasn’t received too well when it launched in Japan late last year, but if shoot ‘en ups are your sort of things, perhaps this game will interest you.
During the latest LoboCast, it was revealed that Grant Kirkhope will be involved with the Kickstarter-funded indie game Lobodestroyo. He’ll be composing the theme to the “Liga De Los Villanos” theme while Gooseworx will be remixing it.
Kirkhope has worked on such classics as GoldenEye 007, Banjo-Kazooie, and Donkey Kong 64. More recently, he contributed to Kingdoms of Amalur, Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse, and A Hat in Time.

Nintendo has announced the first-ever Super Smash Bros. for 3DS tournament, which is set to take place at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. Fans can have a shot at participating by visiting the Nintendo Gaming Lounge at the Marriott Marquis & Marina located at 333 W. Harbor Drive.
Here’s an overview as to how the tournament will work:
Starting at noon, there will be a preliminary round in which groups of four competitors battle it out, with the winner advancing. During the finals, players will duke it out one-on-one to determine the top smasher. Tournament slots are limited, and fans will be able to sign up the day of the event on a first-come, first-served basis.
Those who are not attending San Diego Comic-Con can watch the tournament live on Nintendo’s Twitch channel. News about additional Nintendo Gaming Lounge activities will be announced in the future.
You’ll find today’s official announcement after the break.
A special Nintendo Direct will air in Japan tomorrow, Nintendo has announced. The presentation will focus on third-party titles for 3DS.
The Nintendo Direct will kick off at 8 PM Japan time. That’s 7 AM ET / 4 AM PT.
