Team Ninja plans to push the Wii U “as hard as it can”

A couple of weeks ago, Peter Garza, the head of localization at Tecmo Koei, told VG247 that the Wii U version of Ninja Gaiden 3 wasn’t being developed alongside the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions, and that development had only just started.

EA still loves the Wii U

Peter Moore, EA’s COO, recently commented on the Wii U speaking to Reuters.

It’s good to know that a big company like EA is so committed to […]

Crytek are “very happy” with the Wii U

This is certainly a more uplifting piece of news than the last quip we heard from Crytek about the Wii U. Cevat Yerli, the company’s CEO, has put all doubt about the system’s power to rest, saying that their team is “very happy” with the specs. The specs are very good. It’s a challenge for designers, […]

Rumour: Wii U set for June 2012 launch, Nintendo struggling to finalize hardware

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. According to their sources, Nintendo’s strategy of using slightly obsolete technology to minimize costs is on the verge of […]

Reggie: ‘We’ve only shown 10% of the Wii U’s potential’

In a video interview with the publication EFE at E3, Reggie Fils-Aime said that they’ve only shown 10% of the Wii U’s potential off at this point. There’s a lot more to be shown in terms of the games and the experiences, but what we are communicating is this idea of two screens – the […]

BioShock Infinite won’t be coming to the Wii U

I think Irrational Games are being a bit…you know, irrational. In an interview with the German site GamesweltTV, they confirmed that they’re not planning to bring BioShock Infinite to Nintendo’s latest and greatest. Not only that, but they don’t have anything else in the cards for the Wii U, either. I find this a bit […]

Developers have been coming out in droves to show support for the Wii U, major franchises such as Tekken, Assassin’s Creed, Darksiders, Battlefield are coming to the console but not everyone is happy. id Software, the studio responsible for the upcoming game Rage for PS3/360/PC, remains cautious about the Wii U and have pretty much […]

Did all of Nintendo’s E3 announcements just get leaked?

A 4chan user by the name of Round Cactus claims to be an ESRB employee who has screened the sizzle reel Nintendo will be showing at E3 in less than 48 hours. It’s quite possibly the most grandiose “leak” we’ve had so far, rivaling even those of Emily Rogers. I’ve got my suspicions about the […]
