Yes, you read that title correctly! Collectorvision is planning its new game “Justice Beaver” for the Wii U eShop and, surprisingly, the SNES.

The developer shared the news on Facebook yesterday:

Justice Beaver isn’t the only retro-related project coming from Collectorvision. Sydney Hunter and the Mayan’s Revenge are both in the works for the NES and will be available this year.

Bloomberg has received a status update regarding the health of Nintendo president Satoru Iwata.

“Iwata is recovering steadily,” spokesman Yasuhiro Minagawa told the publication. “There is no interference with his business as president.”

Iwata had a bile duct growth removed last month. He did not attend E3 2014 in June and also missed Nintendo’s recent investor briefing.

GameStop has a pair of 3DS games on sale. Paper Mario: Sticker Star and Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask are both $10 each. This seems to be online-only, but we’ll let you know if we hear otherwise.
