Buy two Kirby SNES games and get the third for free, and here's how!

Nintendo surprised gamers this morning by not only putting Kirby Superstar, Kirby's Dream Course, and Kirby's Dream Land 3 on the Wii U eShop, but also by revealing a deal that allows you to get one of them for free, if you buy the other two! How does this deal work? Fairly simple, actually.

The great thing about this deal is that it's valid whether you're purchasing the game for the first time, or upgrading your Wii Virtual Console purchases. Depending on whether or not you purchased the games previously, you can get all three titles for $15.98, $9.49, or a measly $3!

I'm going to be buried under pink fluff for the remainder of the week! If that's not enough for you there's also gorillas in neckties, men in bodysuits, and dancing demons.

This pre-E3 Direct is likely this year's version of Nintendo's traditional press conference.

A Wii U focused Nintendo Direct presentation will be taking place on June 11th at 7 a.m PDT (10 a.m. EDT, 3 p.m UK time). This Nintendo Direct has currently been announced for North America and Europe with each region airing the event from their own Nintendo Direct website. It’s currently unknown if the information will be different on the region specific streams.

The Wii U focused Nintendo Direct takes place only five hours before the E3 show floor opens to attendees, and only three-and-a-half hours before Nintendo’s pre-E3 Wii U Software Showcase admits select members of the press into the Nintendo booth to get hands on time before the big crowds are let in.

EA is not neglecting Nintendo's console after all.

Electronic Arts has confirmed that it does actually have Wii U games in development, correcting earlier statements that the publisher was not supporting the system.

At the recent Stifel Nicolaus Internet, Media and Communications conference, Blake Jorgensen, the chief financial officer of EA, said that the publishing giant would, in fact, be bringing new software to Wii U in the future, "but not anywhere near as many as [they] are for PS or Xbox".

It is unknown at this time exactly what these games are, though it was previously confirmed that neither FIFA 14 nor Madden 25 will be released on Nintendo platforms.
