Target Toy Book Ad lists Wii U Deluxe Set with New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U combo
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
As pictured in the image above, the Wii U Deluxe Set is listed for $299.99. That’s nothing new. But there’s also some sort of odd boxart which, as far as I can tell, shows New Super Mario Bros. U along with New Super Luigi U.
Could this be another upcoming bundle Nintendo will be announcing sometime within the next few weeks?
Thanks to ES4 for the tip.

Did you know that Noise worked on Wings of the Albatross? That’s the same team behind the various Custom Robo titles.
Prior to Gyrozetter: Wings of the Albatross, Noise developed just one core gaming title since 2009: Go! Go! Cosmo Cops! from Namco Bandai.

Terraria 3DS not happening
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 14 Comments
Sadly, Terraria won’t be making its way to the 3DS. Even though there’s significant interest on the part of creator Andrew Spinks, “the system unfortunately cannot run Terraria the way it needs to be ran.”
In an interview with RPS, Spinks said:
“I am wanting to code Terraria 2 in a more portable language so it can be released on multiple platforms at launch or close to launch. 3DS is something I was very interested in getting Terraria on but the system unfortunately cannot run Terraria the way it needs to be ran.”
Based on Spinks’ comments, perhaps Terraria 2 is something that could be more likely for the 3DS. If the game is being coded so that it’s more portable-friendly, then I don’t see why Nintendo’s handheld would be left out of the mix once again. But hey, I’m not a coder, nor am I making the game!
