Rayman Legends Challenges App was Ubisoft’s way to tide over Wii U fans who had been waiting patiently for the full game. When it launched, the company said that the service would be shutting down once the full game arrived.

That day has now come, and the Rayman Legends Challenges App is a thing of the past. As of yesterday, it went out of service. Challenges are still a thing in the full Rayman Legends experience though, so you can still get in your daily dose of entertainment.

The Wonderful 101 isn’t really selling well in any territory. We already know that it got off to an incredibly rough start in Japan, but no data had been provided.

Now we do, and they paint an even worse picture for The Wonderful 101’s Japanese debut. 4Gamer reports that the title moved just a measly 5,000 copies in its first day. A week later, the game didn’t even make it into the top 20.

Not exactly the kind of news you like to hear!

Sword ‘N’ Board

Sword ‘N’ Board, a new “puzzle oriented adventure RPG” that just secured funding on Kickstarter, will be coming to Wii U. Creator Robert Busey shared the news in an update last week, in which he wrote:

So, after a few weeks of going through things, getting access to a Wii U Dev kit, and Scirra the creator of the Engine that Sword ‘N’ Board is built in announcing a Wii U exporter I decided to contact Dan Adelman at Nintendo at the urging of Antonio Garcia, and see what all was involved in becoming a Wii U dev.

As it turns out It’s incredibly simple as Nintendo is really making it incredibly easy to become a Wii U developer!

So it is official! Sword ‘N’ Board will be coming to the Wii U!

I’ve been a Nintendo fan my entire life, and this is incredibly exciting and a dream come true, to have a game on a Nintendo platform!

You can find a bunch of details about Snow ‘N’ Board over at the official Kickstarter page.

Mighty No. 9 and Mega Man are two similar characters. Both are robots. Both are from creator Keiji Inafune. Who’d he pick in a fight?

That would be Mighty No. 9, as he explained to Kotaku:

“Unfortunately Mega Man is an older robot and uses the older parts. A little bit too old school. I don’t know if he would be able to compete with the newer, shinier version of Beck.”

Continuing on the topic of similarity, Mighty No. 9 and Mega Man offer comparable gameplay elements, but Inafune feels both franchises can co-exist.

“Yeah. If the question is just, ‘Can they exist as two different franchises at the same time?’ then my answer is yes, of course. Capcom should be doing things with the Mega Man franchise just like we are with this original game.”

“Ultimately, it would be great for the fans because then they would be able to play even double the content that they otherwise could,” he continued. “So, in this perspective, yes, please, let both games exist.”

Nintendo TVii was said to be on track for a release in Europe sometime this year. Only four months remain in 2013, and we haven’t heard a peep out of Nintendo of Europe. What’s the deal?

The good news is that Nintendo TVii is still planned for the territory. The bad news is that Nintendo still has no concrete news to share.

In a statement, the company said:

“We are working to bring a similar Nintendo TVii service to Europe however we have nothing to announce at the current time.”
