YouTube simply won’t work on the Wii U’s Internet browser at the moment. Videos don’t show a play button any longer – there’s just a big black box instead.

Hopefully this is just a glitch related to the new YouTube design. If not, we’ll all be stuck using the sluggish Wii U app… which lacks Off-TV play.

The next Mass Effect is a long ways off. EA and BioWare Montreal won’t have the game done until late 2014 to mid 2015.

Development just began “a month or two ago”, according to a BioWare representative – hence the long wait.

“Late 2014 to Mid 2015. I honestly can’t tell you an exact because full development on the game started a month or two ago.”

By the time development wraps up, it could be a three year wait between Mass Effect 3 and the next game.

Square Enix decided to make Dragon Quest X into an MMO. This was initially seen as a huge disappointment by most Japanese gamers, and the lack of interest has been reflected on the sales charts. While not a flop by any means – and even considering the difference in platforms – Dragon Quest X has only sold around 600,000 units. That’s a long way’s off from Dragon Quest IX’s 4 million units sold.

Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada explained to investors why Dragon Quest X is an MMO at its financial results briefing last month. The short answer is that the game could end up making lots of money for the company.

“People said a lot of things about FFXI when it came out in 2002. At a time when game consoles were still at their peak, we needed to exceed 2 million units to be considered a success in the [Final Fantasy] series. While the early stages were used to recover costs, this title eventually contributed greatly to the overall revenue scheme in the latter half of its lifespan, and proved that MMORPG has a sustainable capacity over a long duration.”

Over ten years, the online game Final Fantasy XI resulted in 40 billion yen ($484.7 million) of profit. Square Enix seems to think that Dragon Quest X could end up providing similar revenue.
