Darksiders II associate producer Jay Fitzloff has assured Nintendo fans that the Wii U version of the game will look “at least as good” as the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 editions.

Fitzloff told Eurogamer:

“The visuals will be the same. It’s still a work in progress. But I know, at least as good is the way to say it.”

While not the most exciting Wii U update we’ve seen lately, a few art assets from Killer Freaks from Outer Space might have made their way out from Ubisoft. You can bet we’ll be hearing more about the game at E3 – which is less than two weeks away!

Thanks to Captain N for the tip.

A QA tester over at TT Games made a big mistake the other day. Unfortunately, this person leaked an image of the Wii U’s controller, showing differences in the model since it was last shown at E3 2011.

Studios who are working with the Wii U are required to sign NDAs in order to prevent potential leaks. Obviously that doesn’t automatically prevent items from making it out to the public though, as we saw with the Wii U controller image.

However, the broken NDA does come with serious consequences. Erlend Wollan, a system development consultant on various platforms/technologies, claims that the leaker was already fired and could end up in court.

Wollan wrote on Twitter:

“Dev at Traveller’s Tales who leaked updated WiiU controller (now with sticks!) already fired and may be taken to court. Respect NDA’s folks.”

I don’t doubt that the TT Games employee was fired. Even though the leak didn’t appear to be intentional – it was nothing more than a casual update on Twitter – there’s no way the company (or Nintendo) would let this egregious error slide by.

Thanks to Lars H for the tip.

SEGA has confirmed that Aliens: Colonial Marines won’t be running on Wii U at this year’s E3. It should be playable on other platforms, however, such as the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Aliens: Colonial Marines received a February 12, 2013 release date today. While one would have thought that the Wii U version would arrive on the same day as the PS3, 360, and PC editions, the fact that it won’t be playable on Nintendo’s new console is concerning. It’s possible that the Wii U title won’t be ready until mid-2013 – we can only speculate for now.

Aliens: Colonial Marines technically became a real “thing” six years ago. An announcement about the new game was made in 2006 once 20th Century Fox, SEGA, and Gearbox came to an agreement.

However, it wasn’t until 2008 that we actually saw got a first look at Colonial Marines. So even though it may seem as though the title has been in the works for an extremely long time, developer Gearbox believes its development cycle is comparable to that of Borderlands and the original Brothers in Arms, some of the studio’s previous projects.

Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford commented on the seemingly lengthy dev cycle for Aliens: Colonial Marines today:

If you haven’t visited the site within the past 48 hours, perhaps you didn’t hear that the Wii U controller we see at E3 2012 will be slightly different than the model we saw last year. You can read about that here.

Update: Just to be clear, SEGA/Gearbox haven’t confirmed the Wii U version for February 12, but I can’t imagine it arriving later than the PS3/360/PC versions considering the console will be released by then.

Aliens: Colonial Marines won’t be out until February 12, 2013, meaning the PS3, 360, PC, and Wii U versions should all arrive on the same day.

There wasn’t a ton of shocking news on GameTrailers’ latest Bonus Round episode, but Shane Satterfield once again said people will be surprised with the Wii U’s launch lineup and the amount of games in development for the system – that applies to both first and third-party software.
