EarthBound: Available since March as one of the NES 30th Anniversary Virtual Console games in Japan, the game is set to release in Europe on Wii U Virtual Console, with a launch date to be announced at a later date. The original game was created by Shigesato Itoi for the Super NES, but was never released in Europe.

· New Super Luigi U: Wii U owners who purchase this downloadable content for New Super Mario Bros. U (a copy of the game is required) will get 82 updated courses and a new adventure featuring Luigi, who can jump higher than Mario, yet has trouble stopping after a dash. Many stages start with only 100 seconds on the timer, and quicker stages are populated with many obstacles. New Super Luigi U is scheduled to be released this summer during the Year of Luigi.

· Wii U Spring System Update: Next week's update will add new functions and enhance existing ones, and will shorten loading times when switching between applications or returning to the Wii U Menu. On the day after the System Update becomes available, Wii U Panorama View will be available from the Nintendo eShop for Wii U, with a free demo also released. In addition, the Wii U Virtual Console service will begin.

· Pikmin 3: In addition to new Rock Pikmin, the new game also introduces flying Winged Pikmin that follow the player and can carry items in the air. The game will be launching in just a few months, so stay tuned!
