According to a Famitsu report, Wii U will be region-locked. This will likely be the case given how Nintendo approached the situation with the Wii and 3DS.

The publication wrote in a recent issue:

“What can be played on the Wii U is restricted by a region-lock feature; software not sold in the same region cannot be played.”

Alright Nintendo… this means you can’t take forever to localize games like Xenoblade!

Thanks to 4Him for the tip.

Ecco the Dolphin has been dormant for many, many years. More than a decade later, it looks like there’s a chance that it could be making a return.

Ed Annunziata, the creator of the series, has expressed interest in returning to the IP.

Annunziata posted the following on Twitter a few days ago:

Ecco fans, I need you to follow & tweethank @scottfoe, he convinced SEGA to meet with me now chances of a new Ecco the Dolphin x100!

— ed annunziata (@edannunziata) September 19, 2012

For those wondering, Scott Foe was with SEGA when the Dreamcast was out on the market. As shown in the tweet above, it was Foe who apparently encouraged SEGA to meet with Annunziata about a revival.

If SEGA does approve a return to Ecco the Dolphin, composer Spencer Nilsen could be involved. Annunziata wrote on Twitter that Nilsen “is on board”, but it isn’t entirely clear if SEGA has officially given the go-ahead just yet.

A new “hunting insect” weapon was confirmed for Monster Hunter 4 earlier this month.

Thought that would be the only new weapon in the game? Good news – it isn’t!

During a stage show at the Tokyo Game Show yesterday, Capcom teased a second brand new weapon. The company didn’t share any information about the tool, but fans can look forward to more news in the future.
