Nintendo’s Iwata Asks series was on hiatus for over a year. But out of nowhere, a new interview was published late last week to celebrate the launch of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D.
Thankfully, this won’t be a one-time thing. Satoru Iwata recently said on Nintendo’s Japanese Twitter account that the series will continue, even if it’s not at the same pace as before.

Despite rumors to the contrary, Anima: Gate of Memories still planned for Wii U
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Rumors, Wii U eShop | 2 Comments
Since the early days of Anima: Gate of Memories’ existence, we’ve heard that the game would be released on Wii U. That’s why it was particularly strange that speculation started surfacing today that this might no longer be the case.
The rumors seem to have arisen from a couple of tweets published by BadLand Games, a Spanish distributor. BadLand essentially stated that there are no plans for a Wii U version at the moment. I’m not sure why this was said, but I can confirm that Anima: Gate of Memories is still on for Wii U. Creator Carlos García confirmed to us that the team is still planning a Wii U version.

Information about Ubisoft and High Voltage Software’s canned Heroes game
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
Ubisoft announced that it would publish a game based on the television series Heroes back in 2007. A year later, the project was cancelled. Unseen64 now shares details about the development process and why the plug was pulled.
The third-person action/adventure Heroes game was planned for Wii and other platforms, with High Voltage Software handling development. It appears that a new female character would be featured – as shown in the concept art above. Regarding the Wii version, Unseen64 states: “A version for Nintendo Wii was also outlined, but production on it was never started.”
High Voltage terminated the Heroes game after it was determined that the studio didn’t have enough resources to create versions for all platforms. Ubisoft ended up scrapping all plans pertaining to Heroes around October 2008. This was in part due to a drop in ratings for the TV show.

Unseen64 has updated its beta article for The Wonderful 101. In it, we get to see a few things, including first designs for Wonder Red.
One design has a large blade placed on Wonder Red’s back, and he’s wearing a white helmet with a green visor. A second design features a machine gun under his right arm. He has less hair in this piece of art as well.
