Sayonara Umihara Kawase rated by OFLC
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
Sayonara Umihara Kawase appears to be heading to Australia, and probably other PAL territories as well. A rating for the title popped up in the OFLC database today. Agatsuma Entertainment, developer of the game, is listed as publisher.
Back in October, Natsume announced plans to release Sayonara Umihara Kawase in North America as “Yumi’s Odd Odyssey”. But this new OFLC filing indicates that the game will launch with its original name in PAL territories, and Agatsuma will handle publishing responsibilities by itself.

Wii Party U can be purchased from the eShop in Australia
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 4 Comments

Yep – Wii Party U is up on the Australian Wii U eShop. It’s been available since the game’s launch late last week, in fact.
Why is Wii Party U being distributed on the Australian eShop but not the North American and European stores? Your guess is as good as mine!
