Kirby Triple Deluxe may only be a few months off from landing in North America. GameStop currently has the game listed for a May 2 release.
That date is certainly plausible. Might we hear something about the game’s overseas tomorrow during tomorrow’s Nintendo Direct?
Super C will launch as a Wii U Virtual Console download tomorrow, it would seem. Nintendo has an official page up for the game along with a Feb. 13 release date listing. Pricing is set at $4.99.
Note that until Nintendo publishes its weekly Nintendo Download report, this VC release is not official.
Update: Nintendo has confirmed the presentation for Japan in addition to North America and Europe.
A new Nintendo Direct presentation will be streamed tomorrow, Nintendo has announced. This one will be the first presentation of 2014.
An announcement sent out by the company confirms that titles releasing before the end of 2014 will be covered. As usual, Satoru Iwata will be hosting the proceedings, and in the European broadcast, Satoru Shibata will be appearing.
Tomorrow’s presentation will be streamed at 5 PM ET / 2 PM PT. Head past the break for the official announcement.
Update: Watsham has confirmed that 3DS has the best-selling version (see below).
Renegade Kid co-founder Jools Watsham shared an interesting sales tidbit about Mutant Mudds Deluxe on Twitter just a few minutes ago.
According to Watsham, sales of the Wii U version have outperformed the Steam, PS3, and PS Vita release combined. He said:
Interesting tidbit. Mutant Mudds Deluxe has sold more on Wii U than the combined sales on Steam and PSV/PS3.

For what it’s worth, Mutant Mudds Deluxe has been out on Wii U longer than the PS3 and PS Vita versions by a few months, but the PC release hit Steam nearly a year prior.
As for the 3DS, that version tops all, Watsham says:
@NintendoTweet 3DS is king. π

There hasn’t been much Wii U news coming out of Japan these days, but this week’s Famitsu does have a release date for Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed.
Leaks indicate that the title will be available for Wii U and PS3 on May 15. Pricing is set at 6,980 yen. The latest leaks don’t mention any of Transformed’s other versions such as 3DS.
Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed originally launched for Wii U on November 18, 2012, so this has been a long time coming for Japan.
AeternoBlade will be available on the European 3DS eShop starting on February 27, the game’s official Facebook account has confirmed.
A message posted on the social media page states:
AeternoBlade will be launching in North America a bit earlier – February 18.
