CNET has given us a full look at the Wii U media event invitation. It’s honestly not that big of a deal, but it does confirm that the proceedings will begin at 10 AM and carry through 4 PM. I imagine that first hour will consist of a press conference in which the Wii U release date and price are announced, followed by hands-on time with games.
Remember: this will all be taking place on September 13. We’ll be sure to cover all of the important news!

Sumo was surprised by some of Wii U’s specs
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed executive producer Steve Lycett says that developer Sumo was initially surprised by some of Wii U’s specs. In particular, the team was pleased with the capabilities of the GPU.
According to Lycett:
“There are always surprises and unexpected challenges when you develop on a new console. When we first got our hands on the kit, the first surprise was the capability of the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit). We’d been worried that we might need to re-engineer all the effects and shaders in the game, but they worked just fine.”
Lycett says that Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed on Wii U looks just as good as the other versions. It may actually look slightly better since it has “way more memory” than other platforms.
“The Wii U looks as good as any of the HD platforms. The Wii U has way more memory, so we can take advantage of that with less compression on elements and textures, so it will look all lovely and shiny.”
The World Ends With You getting iOS version, soundtrack

Square Enix accidentally revealed its surprises for The World Ends With You today.
A listing taken by Japanese blogs reveals that an iOS port is in the works. This will have arranged tracks from Kingdom Hearts 3D.
Also planned is a brand new soundtrack that will be available on October 1 for 1,890 yen. Square Enix will be including music from the iOS version, tracks from Kingdom Hearts 3D, and brand new pieces.
It’s not entirely clear if there are any additional announcements to be made, but I’d say there is now a much smaller chance of a sequel.

Renegade Kid hopes to bring Mutant Mudds’ extra PC levels to the 3DS
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
In case you haven’t heard, Renegade Kid will soon be releasing Mutant Mudds on the PC. This version will include twenty original levels not included in the original eShop game. Renegade Kid co-founder says this was done in particular to make the port “a little more special.”
Those who purchased Mutant Mudds on the 3DS have been wondering if these new levels will eventually be brought to the handheld. It sounds like it’s something that is being considered – Watsham said “I hope so” while speaking about the possibility – but news isn’t imminent.
Watsham explained on his personal blog:
