Fuzzy Wuzzy Games is bringing “Armillo” to the Wii U eShop, and it’s due for launch on the store this year.
Armillo was once planned for XNA through the Xbox Live Arcade. However, the team is now concentrating on making the title for Wii U.
What is Armillo, exactly? The two videos above may give you a pretty decent idea. It’s somewhat reminiscent of Marble Madness and even has a bit of a Super Mario Galaxy vibe.

Sony settles with Jerry Lambert, still after Bridgestone
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii | 0 comments
A strange situation developed late last year between Sony and the well-known PlayStation “character” Kevin Butler. Butler, played by Jerry Lambert, was spotted in a Bridgestone Tires commercial with a Wii. The ad was eventually pulled and it was later discovered that Sony was suing the tire company as well as Lambert’s own company.
Sony is still in a legal battle with Bridgestone, but has since settled out of court with Lambert.
Lambert will not appear in any video game ad over the next two years. Once the period has passed, he can lend his talent to any commercial he chooses so long as the Kevin Butler character is not portrayed. Sony also gained the right to look over any video game-related ads Lambert partakes in to ensure that its Kevin Butler property is not involved.
Regarding the original Bridgestone commercial, Lambert did acknowledge that the ad may have led to consumer confusion since he was seen with a Wii.

You’ve probably heard of Headstrong Games. The studio has worked on Battalion Wars, The House of the Dead: Overkill, Art Academy, Rabbids Rumble, and plenty of other titles.
Headstrong doesn’t have any confirmed games in the works for Wii U, but it is definitely involved with the console. Associate producer Jo Tunstill lists an unannounced project for the console on her LinkedIn profile.
Will it be a Nintendo-published game? The two companies have shared a fairly close relationship in the past. Or is this a third-party effort?
