A new rumor is floating around, coming from a Dutch press release said to have come from Ubisoft themselves,  saying, “Assassin’s Creed III is available as from October 31 on Xbox 360 ®, PlayStation ® 3, Wii U™ and PC.” However, this differs from the press release in North America which offers no release date for Assassin’s Creed III. This news comes from [...]

If Toki Tori 2 wasn’t confirmed for the Wii U before, it is “definitely” confirmed for the platform now, in the words of Two Tribes’s creative director Collin van Ginkel. And while the launch date of the Wii U itself is still unknown to the public, Two Tribes are telling us Toki Tori 2 will either [...]

Tekken 3D: Prime Edition was recently released on the 3DS, but what of the Wii U version? Tekken Wii U was looking to be a promising title; and at E3, series producer Katsuhiro Harada shared some ideas on how Tekken could use the controller such as it being used to create custom stages to be shared online, [...]

THQ announced at a recent investor relations meeting that Metro: Last Light has been delayed to the fourth quarter of their 2012 fiscal year – this translates to the first quarter of 2013, so we won’t be getting the game for at least another year from now.

A fresh rumour has just broken loose from 01net, the same site that accurately leaked a motherload of information about the Wii U several months ago – or as we knew it at the time, Project Café.

The 3DS price cut has caused quite a buzz among the media, with the 3DS price set to drop from $250 to $170. Iwata is concerned that this will make people wait for a Wii U price drop before buying the console. “With regard to the influence on the Wii U, what we have to [...]

CEO of EA, John Riccitello is happy with the Wii U’s release date arguing that rather than it being too early in comparison to the PS3 and 360 it is actually perfect timing. When asked whether Nintendo were off cycle for releasing the Wii U midway through the PS3 and 360’s lifetime, Riccitello had this [...]

Sega’s Alan Pritchard said in an interview with GameSpot about Sonic Generations (which he also deconfirmed for the Wii U) that Nintendo’s new console is coming to store shelves in either the spring or summer of 2012.
