Nintendo has yet to announce a North American release date for Game & Wario. However, if GameFly is to be believed, the Wii U title is set for June 30.
We typically don’t put much stock into retailer discoveries, but GameFly tends to be correct in most instances. You may remember that the release date and name for Mario Tennis Open were leaked through GameFly prior to Nintendo’s official announcement.

Deep Silver has no Wii U plans, COO says “audience is not who we reach best”
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
At this rate, the Wii U won’t be getting any games from publisher Deep Silver. That would mean no Saints Row, no Metro, and no Dead Island – just to name a few.
Deep Silver COO Geoff Mulligan told Game Informer this month that the company has no plans for the Wii U “in the near or foreseeable future.” It’s all about the console’s audience apparently, which is apparently not who Deep Silver targets.
Mulligan told the magazine:
“Not Wii U. With other companies, I’ve been very successful with Nintendo. With Wii U, the Nintendo market right now and their audience is not who we reach best. It’s not something we’re entertaining in the near or foreseeable future.”
