According to Nintendo World Report Capcom will not be having playable games on any Nintendo consoles at E3 2012. Nintendo World Report were told by a Capcom representative that this would be the case.
However, though it seems that Capcom will not have any playable games this does not in any way rule out the announcement of titles for the Wii U from the company.
The next title in the popular football series of games has been announced to be coming to the Wii and the Nintendo 3DS. However, this begs the question of whether a Wii U version of the title is also in the works.
Eurogamer recently reported that a Wii U version is being developed but by a different team from the Xbox 360, PC and PS3 versions. Not only that but EA have been quite supportive of the Wii U ever since it was shown at E3 2011, so it doesn’t seem too far-fetched to expect that FIFA 13 will be coming to the console.

Last week in a financial statement, Tecmo Koei discussed plans of taking advantage of new hardware launches by actively releasing products for new consoles. While not specifically mentioning the Wii U, it is a console that we know will be launching soon. Not only that but the Wii U is pictured on the slides shown at the earnings briefing.
The problem is, this could just be an acknowledgement of the titles that we already know Tecmo Koei have planned for the Wii U, such as, Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge. However, There have been rumours floating around that Tecmo Koei plans to announce a new IP at E3 2012. I guess we will just have to wait and see.
We’ve recently had footage of what Aliens: Colonial Marines multiplayer will be like but the footage was very much focused on the marines’ point of view. What about playing as those deadly alien xenomorphs?
CVG‘s preview of the game mentioned that aliens are played from the third person view and that there is a class system for xenomorphs as well the marines.
In a recent interview, Gearbox’s Chris Brock explained why they had chosen a third person perspective for the aliens:
We feel it’s key to keep the xenomorph player’s perspective in third person. Xenos have to be sneaky and agile, so the wall and ceiling climbing is a necessity. That said, playing in that style, in first person, can be quite disorienting.
Those of you who are looking forward to Metro: Last Light for the Wii U may be interested to hear that a short live action film is planned to be shown on the 24th of May.
A countdown trailer for the film has appeared on the website ‘Enter the Metro’ but doesn’t give much details about what the film will be about. Head to the website now to stare unwaveringly at the countdown clock until the film is shown.
A new trailer of the upcoming racing game Project Cars has been released. Have a peek at the beautiful game below.
Could our favourite ‘green hatted’ plumber be coming to the Wii U? The retailer Play.com has suggested so by listing Luigi’s Mansion 2 for the Wii U. However, there is also the possibility that the entry of the title is just a placeholder or a mistake.
It doesn’t seem too far-fetched to expect a Luigi’s Mansion game on the Wii U at sometime, seeing as the 3DS will be receiving some Luigi love soon. Whether the listed title represents a placeholder or an actual game in development is something only time will tell.

Cloudberry Kingdom, the game that has been dubbed “the hardest platformer ever”, has been confirmed to be coming to Nintendo’s next home console. It’s clever AI allows the game’s difficulty range to go from easy to masochistic. Pwnee Studios have now confirmed that the game will be available on the Wii U as well as Steam.
We have been getting a lot of questions about whether or not you can get a copy of the game for the Wii U. And the new answer is yes!!! Both the regular edition and Special Coder’s Edition will be available.
Pwnee Studios have placed the game on Kickstarter so if you would like to help the project head over there now. Continue reading for its gloriously crazy trailer.
Nintendo’s Tadashi Sugiyama, who has worked on titles such as F-Zero X, Luigi’s Mansion, Wii Fit and Mario Kart: Double Dash may be working on a new game for Wii U that will be revealed at E3 2012.
GoNintendo have reported that this information has come from “a trusted source.” The source didn’t specify what the game would be.
The next round of questions for 4A games and THQ from the fans on Metro: Last Light forums have been answered. This time the questions focused on the game’s visuals, side quests and weaponry.
The first question asked what visual and graphical changes there were from the previous game to Metro: Last Light. The answer was:
We’ve improved virtually every aspect of the visuals. Some of these changes are subtle, some will be very apparent when you play the game. We’re particularly proud of the advances we’ve made to our outdoor environments, something we hope to show off in the not too distant future… The long answer starts to get a lot more technical, so rather than try and address that here we’ll be talking more about the advances we’ve made to our tech in a lot more detail further down theline.
