Information Update - Nintendo Wii U

The game would be played in single player mode, but actions from other players playing the same game would filter through into your game via the Internet.


2.- Danny Bilson Executive Vice President of THQ has told online gaming publication VG247that the company are fully committed to developing hardcore games for the Wii U. Bilson stated that THQ are always looking at unique and innovative ways to use the Wii U’s tablet controller, and that he believes that the console will offer plenty of interesting opportunities for developers.

Are you excited about Wii U, or do you see it as just another box to tick?

No, I’m excited about it. I like the controller quite a bit. We’re committed to that platform, so long as our developers find really interesting ways to use the controller so that it’s a unique experience and much more than a port.

3.- Epic Games company president Mike Capps has told an audience at GDC Europe that the company currently has five games in development, none of which are Gears of War related. 

We already know that Epic are rather keen on Wii U so let’s hope that one of those five games make it onto Nintendo’s next home console.

4.- Nintendo has told Eurogamer that it’s phasing out current Wii units in favour of a newly designed Wii console. The new console will be slimmer and smaller but lacks Gamecube compatibility. The console will go on sale at Christmas and comes with Wii Sports and Wii Party packed-in.

Nintendo of America has told Gamasutra that they currently have no plans to release the new Wii console in the United States. The current Wii console is currently being phased out in Europe to make way for the slimmer and smaller unit.


5.- Nintendo UK has confirmed via a press release that both The Last Story and Pandora’s Tower will definitely be coming to Europe sometime during 2012. 

There have been hints these two games are coming to Europe, but it’s great to finally have official confirmation.


6.- Nintendo of America has finally confirmed via a press release that it’s bringing another batch of high quality titles over to its Nintendo Selects range. The four new titles are Super Paper Mario, Mario Strikers Charged, Punch Out!! and Super Mario Galaxy. These four titles will retail for around $19.99 each from August 28th.
