3.- According to Forget The Box Nintendo is apparently approaching software developers and offering them assistance in porting and publishing software from iOS to the Wii U so that it can be played on the Wii U’s touchscreen controller.

Nintendo is also apparently looking to launch a digital e-reader type service where you can download books, magazines, newspapers, comics, and other publications to your Wii U console. These publications would then stream to your Wii U controller’s touch-screen.

It has been revealed that in Harvest Moon: The Land’s Origins there are two new marriage partners to choose from. There is Tina, “a rumor loving newspaper girl”, and a polite butler named Selca. The game will allow you to visit places such as ancient ruins, snowy areas, and beaches.


Unsurprisingly some shrewd individuals have managed to get the PlayStation Portable Sega Genesis emulator running on the PlayStation Vita, even though the handheld has been out for less than a month. The PlayStation Vita hasn’t been hacked, it’s just an emulator running inside another emulator. This is just one step further towards opening up the PlayStation Vita for homebrew entertainment.
