Wii U sales have been nothing but gloom and doom for the past couple of months in the UK, but the console’s recent performance is showing positive signs. The latest issue of MCV reports, through retail sources, that Wii U sales increased nearly 125% last week. Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate’s launch and Premium Set price cut from HMV contributed to the boost.

Yesterday, Kiyoshi Mizuki revealed an interesting Miivese feature during Nintendo’s Miiverse session at GDC 2013. The game will include the “Miiversketch” feature, a mode that requires players to quickly draw items on the GamePad from memory. Drawings will be added to a special Miiverse board once the designated time expires.

Nintendo demonstrated a couple of examples. In one instance, King Tut was drawn in a matter of 60 seconds. Other drawings involved a camel and a sloth.

Destructoid personally confirmed with Vigil co-founder Ryan Stefanelli that Crytek USA will bid on the Darksiders IP.

Stefanelli said:

“When the Darksiders IP goes up for auction, Crytek will be bidding for it. Not much more to say since the rest is left up to courts and legal shenanigans, but we’re all excited at the prospect.”

Yesterday, Crytek USA CEO David Adams posted a tweet containing the news. It was initially unclear, however, if Adams’ Twitter account was legitimate.

In the wake of THQ and Vigil Games’ closure, Nintendo will be pulling Darksiders II from the Wii U eShop on March 31. Those who have already purchased the game can re-download it at any time, but new consumers won’t be able to find Darksiders II on the store.

It’s unclear if/when Nintendo will remove Darksiders II from the North American eShop. The company may choose to take it down on Monday as well – just without prior notice.
