News surfaced this past weekend that Nintendo was unable to acquire the WiiU.com domain. The company has since responded to the situation, stating that it continues to review legal options.

Nintendo’s official statement reads:

“Nintendo’s efforts to recover the domain name WiiU.com through a Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy administrative proceeding were unsuccessful. Nintendo has a strong history of protecting against infringement of our intellectual property rights and we are continuing to review our legal options. This decision does not impact Nintendo’s ability to enforce against violations concerning intellectual property.”

Nintendo of America filed a cybersquatting complaint against the owner of WiiU.com back in February. However, a decision was reached and Nintendo was not given possession of the domain.

Nintendo’s official website listings aren’t always the most accurate, but one such entry suggests that Vampire Master of Darkness will be heading to the 3DS eShop this week. The classic game will supposedly be available on the Virtual Console this Thursday for $4.99. We’ll know in a few days if the listing is spot on or another error on Nintendo’s part.

EA has said that its Frostbite 3 engine is “not impossible” for Wii U.

Speaking with 4Gamer, EA Games Label executive vice president Patrick Söderlund suggested that the tech can run on Wii U, but it isn’t a big priority due to the publisher’s focus on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Söderlund noted:

Electronic Arts released Mass Effect 3 and FIFA 13 for the Wii U, but currently we’re focusing our resources on Xbox One and PS4, so it’s a fact that the priority (of the Wii U) is slightly lower. However making Frostbite 3 work on the Wii U is not impossible. Where there are gamers, we’ll be there as well. This is the true meaning of “omnidirectional”

If Frostbite 3 were to be made compatible with Wii U, it would likely need to be scaled down somewhat and modified in order to appropriately work on the console.
