A listing on Nintendo’s website confirms tomorrow’s Virtual Console release for Wii U. As revealed on the official game page, Capcom plans to bring out Street Fighter Alpha 2. Pricing is set at $7.99.
Dahku Creations has nailed down a final release date for Chubbins. The game is due out on June 5th, the developer confirmed on Twitter.
Dahku said earlier today:

After revealing plans to revive the cancelled Wii project Sadness as a Wii U exclusive, HullBreach Studios and Cthulhi Games have now said that they do not, in reality, actually possess rights to the IP.
A statement from the two developers reads:
The Sadness IP is in the hands of a consortium with 4 studios currently fighting for the bid, and that while we at HullBreach and Cthulhi would like to make a competing bid and secure rights to Sadness, unfortunately we cannot at this time. Sorry to fans for any inconvenience.
HullBreach and Cthulhi are still very much interested in their own project. However, they may be forced to change the game’s title, meaning what little connection it had to the original Sadness could end up being lost.
Cthuli’s Jeremy Kleve told Eurogamer:
“We very recently have contacted the old developers to obtain rights to the what little IP actually existed and their blessing. Should they work against us we are prepared to change the title of the game and drop any usage of their IP, this however will not slow us down in the least since most of their ideas were just ideas.
“Sadness had us intrigued since it began years ago, and we decided recently that we didn’t want to let it die off completely. We would have acted sooner if we were capable back then, but as you know the consoles weren’t as open to indies as they are now.”
This week’s issue of Jump confirms two more characters for Tales of the World: Reve Unitia. Ludger Will Kresnik and brother Julius Will Kresnik – both from Tales of Xillia 2 – will be playable.
Aside from the new character news, Jump shows off Reve Unitia’s key visual. Additionally, the magazine confirms that pre-orders will include a download code for an additional stage. All first-print copies come with a code to download the the opening or ending theme song on a card with a special illustration.
