Aliens: Colonial Marines has officially been delayed on Wii U. April has arrived, and as some of you may remember, the game had been scheduled for March.

Meanwhile, SEGA continues to keep quiet regarding the status of Colonial Marines on Wii U. When pressed for an update, a representative said:

“Still no comment on ACM, sorry!”

I really wonder at this point: does anyone even care if the Wii U version of Aliens gets canned?

Disney has decided to close the LucasArts games publishing division. Roughly 150 staffers will now need to look for new jobs, and upcoming projects such as the highly-anticipated Star Wars 1313 as well as Star Wars: First Assault have been canned.

A LucasArts company statement reads:

“After evaluating our position in the games market, we’ve decided to shift LucasArts from an internal development to a licensing model, minimizing the company’s risk while achieving a broader portfolio of quality Star Wars games. As a result of this change, we’ve had layoffs across the organization. We are incredibly appreciative and proud of the talented teams who have been developing our new titles.”

LucasArts seems to be an incredibly disappointing casualty from Disney’s new acquisition of Lucasfilm. Disney made the purchase on October 30 of last year.

This is interesting. Nintendo will be holding an all-day 3DS event for the media in just two weeks, according to IGN editor Rich George.

George tweeted a few minutes ago:

Nintendo actually doesn’t have much 3DS software in the pipeline for North America for the second half of 2013. LEGO City Undercover: The Chase Begins is coming out this month, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D is coming in May, and Animal Crossing is due in June. Beyond this, it’s unclear what else is in store. Maybe there will be an announcement or two? Or perhaps this is a chance to highlight more 3DS eShop games?

Nintendo of Europe president Satoru Shibata took to Twitter and apologized for the shortages, and noted that more stock will be available for the Wii U version next week and 3DS in mid-April. In the meantime, consumers can opt to purchase the game digitally through the eShop.
