A 3DS version of Donkey Kong Country Returns wasn’t something that Nintendo had always planned. Interestingly, the idea came about when Monster Games conducted an experiment following the completion of the Wii game.

Nintendo’s Hiro Yamada revealed to ONM:

Actually, we hadn’t planned for this from the beginning. We felt that the DKCR graphics matched well with 3DS, but the hardware specs were very different. Because of this, we spoke with Retro who also said that it would be difficult to do a straight port. The truth is, it all started when Monster Games ran it as an experiment after DKCR was completed.

News surfaced earlier today that the group “Wiikey” managed to hack into the Wii U system. Other than the ability to copy games, no major functionality was publicized – meaning you still can’t run homebrew, play titles from other regions, or use in-game cheats.

Rest assured that Nintendo is aware of the situation. However, the company still believes that the Wii U is in a stable position.

In a statement sent to Eurogamer, Nintendo said:

“Nintendo is aware that a hacking group claims to have compromised Wii U security. However, we have no reports of illegal Wii U games nor unauthorized applications playable on the system while in Wii U mode. Nintendo continuously monitors all threats to its products’ security and will use technology and will take the necessary legal steps to prevent the facilitation of piracy.”

Update: A similar poster obtained by IGN confirms that Call of Duty: Ghosts will release on November 5.

A double-sided Call of Duty: Ghosts poster has appeared, which may very well be a bonus for those who pre-order the game at GameStop.

One side shows a skull that looks a lot like the image coming together on the official Call of Duty site, while the other side features a shot of Ghosts’ apparent boxart.

Call of Duty: Ghosts leaks and clues continue to come together. An official announcement is due very, very soon.

Wiikey, the same group behind Wii’s first mod chip, has allegedly hacked the Wii U.

An announcement on Wiikey’s website reads:

“Yes, its real. We have now completely reversed the WiiU drive authentification, disk encryption, file system, and everything else needed for this next generation K3y. Stay tuned for updates!”

Tangible evidence of the hack has yet to surface. Additionally, assuming Wiikey was successful, the implications may not be as severe as you would initially think.

Currently, it’s also possible to play copied games. The hack doesn’t allow for homebrew, region-free gamings, or in-game cheats.

Nintendo will likely choose to address Wii U vulnerability concerns through future Wii U firmware updates.
