We found out today that 1001 Spikes will be launching in North America next Tuesday. But what about Europe?
As noted by Nicalis on Twitter, a summer release is currently targeted:
@MATT81DE We should have more news after e3, but we still are trying for this summer.

After a fairly long wait, How to Survive is finally making its way to Wii U. The European eShop has the game listed for a June 5 launch – that’d be next week. These listings aren’t always 100% accurate, though they’re spot on more often than not.
Thanks to MATT81DE for the tip.
1001 Spikes has been confirmed for release on June 3 for Wii U and 3DS, Nicalis has announced. Pricing is set at $14.99.
Those who have purchased the company’s previous games will be entitled to a $5 discount for the 3DS version. That means if you own VVVVVV, NightSky, Cave Story, Ikachan or Grinsia, then 1001 Spikes will only cost $9.99.
Nicalis did come across “a few issues” in 1001 Spikes, but decided to go ahead and release the title now rather than push it back further “because our fans want to play the game and we don’t plan to leave our Nintendo fans behind on a game they’ve been patiently waiting for.” Nicalis does intend to put out an update “within a couple of days of release to knock out those bugs.”

FuRyu is developing a 3DS title based on The Prince of Tennis II, according to the latest issue of Jump. It’s a romance-inspired adventure game that urges fans to “aim for the top of the rankings” and “decide your fate”.
The Prince of Tennis II: Go to the Top will be available in Japan on November 6. Pricing is set at 6,458 yen. The download version will cost 6,150 yen.
EDGE has put up its full interview with Mario Kart 8 director Kosuke Yabuki. We’ve already covered the most important bits, but additional comments regarding the game’s anti-gravity feature, updates for classic courses, and d-pad controls are now in as well. Head past the break for Yabuki’s words.
Bloomylight has informed us that Nintendo has accepted the studio as an official Wii U developer. At the moment, Bloomylight is working on Lynn and the Spirits of Inao, which we told you about last month.
Lynn and the Spirits of Inao will “probably” head to Wii U. A Kickstarter for the game will launch around September or so, and Wii U development will likely be a stretch goal.
