The developer behind the Driver IP is apparently working on a project for Wii U. Associate producer Luis Cascante listed an unannounced title for Nintendo’s next console on his LinkedIn profile. It seems as though it could be released this year.
Cascante didn’t specifically indicate that his new game is being made by Ubisoft Reflections, but it is definitely being made by one of Ubisoft’s subsidiaries. It looks like we can count on another Wii U announcement from the company at E3…

Is Wii U a next-gen system? That’s what some people have been debating. One group will say no, while another will say yes. It doesn’t help that there are developers out there who are labeling the console as a stop gap in-between generations.
However, EA Sports general manager of football Cam Weber ultimately believes that the Wii U is a true next-gen system.
When Weber was asked by Game Informer if he really sees the system as a next-gen platform, he said:
“Absolutely. It’s a [new] platform with a new controller input, so we’ll do everything we can to deliver an experience that will take advantage of the hardware for that consumer.”

Beamdog founder surprised by reaction to comments, may consider Wii U development
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
Beamdog founder Trent Oster is surprised by the reaction to his comments regarding the company’s experience with Nintendo and the WiiWare service.
Oster noted how his beliefs are apparently widespread across the development community. Additionally, his initial message on Twitter wasn’t in-depth due to the site’s character limit. Even though “feedback has mostly been agreement and support about how Nintendo can improve”, Oster has received some backlash.
“I was surprised by the reaction to my comments. What I stated has been said a great deal within the industry, I guess I didn’t get the memo about not posting it publicly. Given the 140 character limit of Twitter and my cranky 3am mindset, my comment was also a pretty choppy sound bite. The feedback has mostly been agreement and support about how Nintendo can improve. But, I now have a few people who randomly appear on the various social networks and troll me.”
