Nintendo is making progress with the Virtual Console on Wii U and 3DS… slowly.

Next week, the first TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine game will be hitting both eShops in Japan. The Wii U will also launch its debut MSX title.

No word yet on when support for these two platforms will be coming to the west. Soon, hopefully!

Wii U eShop titles from Japanese developers/publishers are a rare thing these days. We’ve seen a couple of games here and there, but nothing too substantial.

Ubiquitous Entertainment will be looking to provide a boost with its new eShop title “Gaiabreaker”. It’s a vertical shooter with leaderboard support.

Pricing is set at 1,890 yen for Gaiabreaker. The game is slated for December 25 in Japan.
