There are two possible ways to purchase Wii U games such as New Super Mario Bros. U. You can head to your local store and purchase a physical copy, or you can download the game through the eShop.

An alternative method may soon be available to consumers. Best Buy posted a product listing on its website for a digital download version of New Super Mario Bros. U. The listing may be a sign that retailers will soon begin selling downloadable versions of retail Wii U titles.

Nintendo tends to work in secret ways. Sometimes, things are so secret that developers close to the company aren’t even aware of certain plans.

That was the case with Next Level Games when it came to the Year of Luigi. Amazingly enough, the studio found out about Nintendo’s plans for Mario’s brother on the same day as the Nintendo Direct presentation. That’s despite the fact that Next Level is playing a big role in the Year of Luigi – the company is just about to release Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon on the 3DS.

The game’s producer, Ken Yeeloy, told the Financial Post:

“We found out about the Year of Luigi at the same time you did. We woke up that morning and found out through the [Nintendo direct] video!”

A few more Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director’s Cut details have emerged.

First up, Deus Ex’s new version will support off-TV play. This is confirmed by French outlet Gameblog and German publication 4Players. Gameblog also writes that a New Game+ is included in Director’s Cut, and it will feature a visually cleaner look than the original PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 release thanks to improved anti-aliasing.

Slightly less clear is Director’s Cut’s Miiverse implementation. There’s talk that you’ll be able to add vocal annotations with the GamePad microphone and share recordings through the social network, though it’s unclear if something was lost in translation.

Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon was an interesting project for Next Level Games to tackle. It was the company’s first major game that was being developed in collaboration with Nintendo as an action title.

For supervisor Yoshihito Ikebata, while he didn’t have much experience with the genre, his desire to make a new Luigi’s Mansion motivated him to work on Dark Moon.

“How did that happen? I guess I just wanted to work on a game like that.

I guess the strongest element of me getting involved with this was just because I, personally, really wanted to see a sequel to “Luigi’s Mansion.” Now, of course, that was battling within me, against the anxiety that I felt about working on a kind of game that I hadn’t really had a lot of experience with before, but I would say that in the end, the desire to make a sequel to “Luigi’s Mansion” was the stronger feeling, and it won out.”

A couple of new games can be purchased at Best Buy at a discount. Kirby Mass Attack is available for $7.99 while Sin and Punishment 2 is going for $9.99.

Both games are available for shipping at the moment. I’m not sure how much stock Best Buy has on-hand, but you could also look for the two games in-store.

Aliens: Colonial Marines was supposed to arrive on Wii U in March. So… uh… where is it?

Neither SEGA nor Wii U developer Demiurge are talking. Time is running out with only ten days remaining in March.

When asked about the status of Colonial Marines for Wii U, a SEGA representative said:

“We’re still not commenting on [Aliens: Colonial Marines] at this point. Sorry, I don’t have better news.”

Another representative for Demiurge wasn’t much help either:

“I’m sorry to say that we at Demiurge can’t really comment.”

At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if Aliens was cancelled for Wii U. And it wouldn’t be much of a loss.
