Capcom kicked off Mega Man’s 25th anniversary by releasing Street Fighter X Mega Man and confirming classic games for the 3DS eShop in North America and Europe.

Fans may be wondering: is anything else planned for the 3DS? Senior community manager Brett Elston was recently asked if the company has any plans to offer something more beyond Virtual Console games on the eShop – specifically a 3D Classic.

“A great idea, and one I’ve brought up before. It’s just something both Capcom Japan and Nintendo would have to collaborate on. Never say never, but no official word at the moment.”

Capcom senior VP Christian Svensson also commented on additional Wii VC releases and “3DS stuff” on the official boards:

“I’m not sure if there’s any more Wii VC projects in the works at all with our online group at this point. I will say that they’ve at times just popped out of no where in the past so my lack of knowledge shouldn’t be taken as gospel. These projects [sic] aren’t on our usual product roadmap. I’m hoping the group is looking at 3DS stuff though. We’ve made some requests for a few things to be explored based upon feedback here. We’ll see what happens.

Austin edit: Though Treyarch didn’t release patch notes, things that I’ve noticed include the following:

– Weapon balance fixes
– Return of the “Cursor Sensitivity” and “Cursor Speed” options for Wii Remote players
– Multi-Team, Mercenary Moshpit modes added

Call of Duty: Black Ops II has been patched on Wii U. Activision and Treyarch sent out an update around a day or so ago. Players should be able to access the 106MB download now.

Thanks to Alfalfa for the tip.

Have you visited Miiverse lately? If so, perhaps you’ve noticed that New Super Mario Bros. U director Masataka Takemoto has posted a gameplay video from his Wii U game. You can watch the footage directly on the Miiverse app or through YouTube on the Wii U Internet browser.

This is notable since it confirms that Miiverse can technically display videos. Right now, though, the feature only appears to be available for Nintendo staff. How neat would it be if others could post YouTube videos to Miiverse?
