Two new Virtual Console games are on track for the Japanese Wii U eShop next week. Bahamut Lagoon (Super Famicom) and Mighty Bomb Jack (Famicom) will be out on February 5. Pricing is set at 800 yen and 500 yen respectively.
This week’s Famitsu review scores are as follows:
Dragon Quest Monsters 2 (3DS) – 10/9/9/9

NES Remix has been updated to version 1.1.0 in Japan (and presumably other territories).
After applying the patch, players will be able to use the Wii U Pro Controller, Wii Remote, and Classic Controller Pro. The update also addresses a few issues/bugs present in the game.
Unsung Story: Tale of the Guardians will feature a story made up of “mature concepts such as greed and lust, alliances and betrayal, and intrigue and espionage” – among other elements. Better yet, the plot will stay true to Yasumi Matsuno’s previous works.
Playdek said in a recent Kickstarter update:
“We have seen some of you ask for a story that included mature concepts such as greed and lust, alliances and betrayal, and intrigue and espionage to name a few… it looks like you guys are getting exactly what you wished for from Mr. Matsuno!”
Plakdek is expected to share more information on Unsung Story: Tale of the Guardians throughout the week, highlighted by a video Q&A on Thursday.
After securing enough funds for the project on Kickstarter, Nowhere Studios estimated a May 2014 launch for Monochroma’s Wii U version. But as of now, that window has shifted to September.
Studio co-founder Burak Tezateser told Nintendo Life:
It is not an official date but I’m expecting the Wii U version to be ready around September along with the PS3 version. We’ll see about it. We can’t really guess how optimization we need to make for Wii U and PS3.
Here’s an incredibly interesting bit of reading for you: A company called Danger, Inc. once took their prototype for a T-Mobile Sidekick (also known as the “hiptop”), merged it with a Game Boy Advance chipset, created an online “app store” of sorts to purchase digital Game Boy Advance game copies, and sent it off to Nintendo for them to take a look at. Nintendo’s response? Read it below, as it’s worth hearing it through the first-hand account:
