Good news, Wii U Internet browser users: YouTube once again works on the console. Things are working properly once more after roughly a week of downtime. That means you no longer have to use the sluggish, inconvenient app to access video content from the site.

Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata has been interviewing development teams behind the company’s big games for several years now in the well-known “Iwata Asks” columns. Starting with the 3DS, the series has expanded to include third-party studios as well.

Fans should be on the lookout for something completely different tomorrow. Nintendo of America will release a spinoff talk of sorts, called “Reggie Asks”, in which NOA president Reggie Fils-Aime talks with the team behind the upcoming Wii U app Nintendo TVii.

This makes you wonder – will it be a one-time thing or something more? In any case, it should be a fun read.

Following the release of Nano Assault Neo, developer Shin’en will continue its support of the Wii U eShop. The studio said that Neo only “scratched the surface”, with two more projects planned. Shin’en is currently working on a game “in the racing genre”. A sequel to WiiWare’s FAST – Racing League, perhaps?

And speaking of Nano Assault Neo, it’s one of the company’s “fastest selling games ever”. Shin’en will bring its first update to the downloadable title soon, which Manfred Linzner says “will fix a display problem in the online rankings, and a minor issue when the GamePad does disconnect.”

“We’ve already submitted a first patch to Nintendo that will fix a display problem in the online rankings, and a minor issue when the GamePad does disconnect. To our knowledge there are no restrictions in such updates by Nintendo.”

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that THQ has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. After months of struggling, the company will now enter a purchasing agreement with a bidder to acquire “substantially all of the assets of THQ’s operating business, including THQ’s four owned studios and games in development.”

Filing for bankruptcy will allow for an easier transition of owned studios and games that are currently in the works. THQ Wireless, THQ Digital Studios Phoenix, Saints Row developer Volition Inc., and Darksiders creator Vigil Games are specifically mentioned in the announcement.

Resident Evil 6 sales haven’t met expectations. Capcom also just announced today that Monster Hunter 4 is being delayed to Summer 2013, into the next fiscal year. Because of these two reasons, the company has lowered its earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013.

Originally, a forecast of 105,000 million yen in net sales was set. Capcom is now revising the figure to 93,500 million yen, down 11 percent. Sales, operating income and net income are all less than what was previously forecast.

Capcom commented:

“Sales of the major new title Resident Evil 6 were initially strong, but subsequently weakened. As a result, sales for this title are certain to fall short of the plan. In addition, the launch of Monster Hunter 4, which was scheduled for March 2013, has been pushed back to the next fiscal year in order to further raise the quality of the game.”
