Squids Odyssey, soon available on the Nintendo Europe 3DS eShop, will come with a code to redeem the game on the Wii U. Strangely, the offer doesn’t work in reverse if you choose to buy the game on Wii U.

There you have it; cross-buy is here for Nintendo, but only in Europe for now. We’ll update this story with Australian information as it becomes available.
