A Lone Title Hits the Japanese eShop This Week

The eShop is taking a week off for summer holiday, but gamers still get a key Wii U title.

Once every year, numerous businesses in Japan shut down for a few days for the summer holidays in August. Most Japanese workers use to the break to spend time with their families in order to celebrate Obon, a holiday to honor the spirits of deceased family members. This is something that has been celebrated in Japan for about the past 500 years. Hopefully, Nintendo is taking the time to accumulate power from the spirit of the success of the Wii to help push them forward into the rest of the year.

One title that might make a blip on the radar for Wii U, Hyrule Warriors, is the sole release this week. Oh, and there is also a new demo for Medalot 8 (known as Medabots in the West) for the 3DS. Regardless, things will get back to normal next week, so be sure to check out the round-up then and expect more coverage on Hyrule Warriors in the coming weeks!
