In case there was any doubt, Gearbox have reconfirmed that the Wii U version of Aliens: Colonial Marines is the superior one, citing it as “really fun”. They said that “Interesting controls equal interesting fun” but their NDA unfortunately prevents them from telling us anything further until E3.

Dave Gargan, Havok’s VP of Engineering, told the world a bit about the Wii U implementation of their famous engine, which Nintendo are making available to all Wii U developers free of charge.

Speaking in an interview, THQ’s Mark Madsen revealed that the Wii U version of Metro: Last Light never began development, and it would be “correct” to say that it is no longer a confirmed title for the system.

Best Buy have added placeholder pages for Super Smash Bros. 4 and LEGO City Stories to their website, each with a tentative price of $49.99. While you can’t actually pre-order the games yet, you may want to consider bookmarking these pages and checking back on them every now and then if you intend to pre-order them […]
