Natsume talks Virtual Console, claims Nintendo is working on GBA support for 3DS
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, DS, GameCube, GBA, News | 8 Comments
Natsume community manager “CeeCee” commented on the publisher’s plans for Virtual Console in the future.
As of late, Natsume has been receiving quite a few fan questions/requests to re-release Game Boy Advance and GameCube titles. Doing so, however, isn’t so simple.
CeeCee explained that when it comes to GBA, this is something the Virtual Console doesn’t support. But interestingly, Nintendo is apparently “working on this” and Natsume “look[s] forward to the day it’s possible.”
Regarding yesterday’s announcement of DS support on Wii U, CeeCee said, “it’s an exciting time, and we’ll be reviewing our DS catalogue for potential titles.”

The Denpa Men 3 looks to be heading west. OFLC rated “The Denpa Men 3: The Rise of Digitoll” earlier today, hinting at an upcoming announcement from Genius Sonority. We were previously told that The Denpa Men 3 localization is something that Genius Sonority had been interested in, so this news isn’t too surprising.
Pac-Man Museum cancelled on Wii U, 3DS
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 42 Comments
Namco Bandai announced Pac-Man Museum for a number of platforms last year including Wii U and 3DS. Today, the publisher finally shared a release date for the game’s PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC versions, but a mention of Nintendo systems was conspicuously absent.
We followed up with Namco Bandai and were told that, unfortunately, both eShop releases have been cancelled. Pac-Man Museum will no longer be available on Wii U and 3DS “as a result of delayed development,” a representative said.
If you’re still interested in Pac-Man Museum, you can pick up the title via PlayStation Network on February 25 and through Xbox Live Arcade/Steam on February 26.
