Jett Tailfin was one of the first games announced for Wii U, though it quickly fell off the radar. News has been pretty much absent since the original 2012 announcement.

But Jett Tailfin lives! Funbox Media announced today that the game will be released this October in Europe/PAL regions. While Jett Tailfin will be hitting Wii U, there’s no word on the 3DS version.

You can find more information about Jett Tailfin after the break.

Senran Kagura Burst sold “really well” for XSEED, according to the publisher’s Jimmy Soga. The 3DS game’s performance has led to the localization of the PS Vita titles Shinovi Versus and Bon Appetit.

Soga added that if Senran Kagura continues to do well for XSEED, “we want to continue with the series.” That would hopefully mean a western release for Senran Kagura 2 on 3DS would be possible.

We’re taking it case by case. Senran Kagura Burst did really well. It was download only, but there’s enough to say there is a US audience for it that’s why we went with Shinovi Versus. It’s sort of risky, but we localized Bon Appétit at the same time. We think there is a core audience for it, but it’s case by case for now. If these sell well enough of course we want to continue with the series.

At the company’s Annual Shareholders Meeting, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata was once again re-elected to the board of directors. That means he’ll retain his position within the company.

It’s unclear what sort of approval rating Iwata earned. In 2011, Iwata’s rating came in at 92.9 percent, but dropped to 77.3 percent last year.
