The Mass Effect Trilogy was released on the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC earlier this year without any word on a Wii U release. However, in a recent interview with BioWare they stated that:

Wii U is a console we feel is really cool and that more Mass Effect would look great on it, so we do have plans for Wii U but nothing to announce at this moment… The same can be said about the Mass Effect Trilogy for Wii U. Never Say Never.

Jeremiah Slaczka, CEO of Scribblenauts developer 5th Cell, has confirmed that Scribblenauts Unlimited on Wii U will not come out in Europe until 2013.

A Ubisoft developer has confirmed that ZombiU will be getting a demo available prior to December 15th. The full game is already out in the US, and launches on the November 30 in Europe and Australia.

Earlier it was said that Wii U would be selling at a loss. However, Reggie Fils-Aime, President of Nintendo, stated that:

The business model doesn’t change dramatically, in that as soon as we get the consumer to buy one piece of software, then that entire transaction becomes profit positive.

In the end, the business model is still to drive the install base of hardware, and then to drive a strong tie ratio with all of the other software and experiences for the consumer. And if we’re able to do that, then we will create significant profit for the company.

This is a great news, and it helps that GameStop reported that they are selling 2.4 Wii U games per Wii U console.

Nano Assault Neo, the twin stick shooter from Shin’en Multimedia for the Wii U, is confirmed to be available on the launch day of the Wii U via their Facebook page.

On November 23, 2012, Black Friday, Nintendo and Old Navy are teaming up for a special promotion for the Wii U. Visitors that line up early and purchase $40 worth of merchandise will be given a chance to receive a free copy of New Super Mario Bros. U. Consumers may also receive a special game card in-store for a chance to win one of 1,000 Wii U systems. Pretty neat if you plan on going to Old Navy for Black Friday.

A scan from the upcoming issue of GameInformer shows Lost Planet 3 set for Wii U release on a game preview. Capcom have yet to comment on this.

There will be a midnight launch event at Nintendo World Store in New York’s Rockefeller Plaza, starting at 6:00 PM on Saturday November 17th and going on all the way up to the Wii U’s launch at midnight. Reggie Fils-Aime will be there to welcome customers and present the first customer with a Wii U.

Nintendo’s Japanese website revealed the image above, which is a small look at the new eShop layout! Looks pretty great, doesn’t it?

The Wii U will shut down automatically after being left alone for too long. However, this is only the default setting and can changed within the system options. This may be something you will want to do when you get your Wii U.
