Braid creator Jonathan Blow finally lifted the curtain on his next project, The Witness, during the PlayStation 4’s unveiling last night. While the game will initially act as an exclusive to the console, Blow hopes to bring it to additional platforms. The Wii U may very well be in the team’s plans.

According to Blow:

“Basically, you’ll see The Witness on PS4 before you’ll see it on the next Microsoft console or on the Wii U, presuming we eventually do ports to those consoles. Ideally we want the game to be in as many places as we can get it, but since we are a small developer and it’s a complicated game, we can only do so much at once.”

If you wish to learn more about The Witness, you can find a few details here.

The Wii U version of Runner2 looks like it could be the definitive version of the game.

As many of you know, it will be possible to play the entire title directly on the GamePad through off-TV play. Gaijin has also confirmed that Runner2 will feature the best overall load times on Wii U out of any of the consoles. While loading may be slightly slower at first, “it speeds up as you play since we can keep more content in memory, which means fewer loads overall.”

Gaijin wrote in a blog post today:

“The clear difference with the Wii U version is that you can play the entire game on either your gamepad or your TV. Also, because it is the newest platform with the most memory, it has the best overall load times of any of the consoles. Initial loading may be a bit slower, but it speeds up as you play since we can keep more content in memory, which means fewer loads overall.”

Shin’en has provided updates about two of its upcoming 3DS eShop titles.

First, Nano Assault EX has been approved for the North American store. Shin’en is currently waiting on release date information from Nintendo. EX has almost been approved in Japan as well.

Shin’en is continuing to work on Jett Rocket 2: The Wrath of Taikai. The team spent a week “to spice up our 3DS rendering tech to have constant 60fps”. Jett Rocket 2 will run at 60 frames-per-second even with 3D turned on. Fans of the first Jett Rocket can look forward to a slightly more challenging experience with the sequel.

EA announced Mass Effect 3: Citadel earlier today. Like some of the game’s other DLC, the company has no news about it coming to the Wii U.

An EA representative stated:

“There are no plans to bring Citadel to the Wii U at this time.”

You do have to wonder what’s going on here. The Wii U is capable of handling DLC, so why is EA (and/or BioWare) slacking? The same goes for Black Ops II…
