Warner Bros. published Injustice: Gods Among Us for iOS alongside the main console versions. By taking advantage of the iOS release in conjunction with the core game for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, users can unlock content in both. Unfortunately, no such functionality is included with the Wii U version.

That’s not the only discouraging news when it comes to Injustice: Gods Among Us on Wii U. There’s absolutely no mention of downloadable content in the actual game or on the eShop. Is this yet another element missing from the Wii U version?

In addition to the Nintendo 3DS Directs set to be presented in North America and Europe tomorrow, Japan will be receiving its own broadcast. Nintendo has announced a “Nintendo Direct Luigi Special 2” for the country, which will be streamed at 10 AM ET / 7 AM PT – the same time as the other Nintendo Direct streams.

Whereas the North American and European presentations appear to be mostly 3DS-focused, the Japanese Nintendo Direct will incorporate Wii U content. And speaking of Wii U, Nintendo has confirmed that the console’s big update will be going live next week. More information about this will be included in the Nintendo Direct.

Those who purchase the game early – by August 15 – will be able to download free DLC costumes. The first provides Phoenix Wright with his attire from the first three games. Kokone will receive a Japanese school outfit while Apollo gets new clothing created by Kazura Nuri.

Famitsu also introduces a new prosecutor this week, but we’re waiting on more specific details about the character to leak from the magazine.


SEGA is working on a follow-up to Hatsune Miku and Future Stars: Project Mirai. This week’s Famitsu reveals that a direct sequel, appropriately titled Hatsune Miku and Future Stars: Project Mirai 2, is heading to Japan this fall.

Three songs have been confirmed for Project Mirai 2 thus far including Yume Yume from the original 3DS title, Do Re Mi Fa Rondo, and Koneko No Paya Paya.

Actual gameplay details leaking from Famitsu are minimal thus far. We do know that there will be some kind of mode that places emphasis on the touch screen. There will, of course, still be traditional rhythm button gameplay.


It’s possible to play Wii U titles around your house thanks to the GamePad, but at its core, the Wii U is a home console. But that hasn’t stopped MaxBuy from making the hardware somewhat portable.

By using the company’s peripheral, it is possible to play the Wii U in a car. Users plug the hardware into the cigarette slot in order to power the Wii U… and that’s it, basically. You can’t play games that require the television – only off-TV titles are supported – but it’s a neat little device nonetheless.
