Numerous users are reporting lock-up issues with Need for Speed: Most Wanted U. One instance, sent our way by reader Chris Becker, appears to have resulted from accessing the home menu while in-game. Not all players are experiencing lock-ups, but it looks like this could be a problem worth looking into.

Lock-ups are most definitely not anything new for the Wii U, unfortunately. Still, system users seem to be encountering issues more frequently compared to some of the console’s more-recent games.

In the past, European Wii U and 3DS owners could only purchase mature titles at night. There had been issues relating to German law, making it impossible to download such content during the day time.

The situation has, fortunately, since changed. Nintendo has confirmed that Wii U and 3DS users can now buy and download mature content at any time of the day.

A message from Nintendo reads:

Retailers in the UK have been reducing the Wii U’s price in hopes of attracting new consumers. Unfortunately, the move hasn’t done much to boost sales.

ShopTo is one such retailer that initiated a price change “to test the market and assess the impact of a price change for a short period of time”, according to purchasing director James Rowson. But as Rowson told MCV, the price cut “has resulted in a smaller than desired increase in sales at this stage”.

MCV also cited one “top buyer at one of the UK’s biggest games retailers” who said that it is “looking to reduce [Wii U space] slightly but must admit [Nintendo’s] silence on strategy is deafening at the moment. They’ve got to do something otherwise it is GameCube all over again.”

Nintendo doesn’t seem too concerned at this point. A spokesperson relayed upcoming plans to discuss the company’s slate of software for the rest of 2013.

“We’ll be speaking to our retailers directly over the next few weeks to take them through our plans for building Wii U momentum over the course of 2013. We have a strong and broad line-up of software launching this year and we look forward to updating – and exciting – our partners over the coming weeks.”

Square Enix has trademarked “Fantasy Village” in Japan – not to be confused with Level-5’s Fantasy Life 3DS title. The name was filed in relation to video games.

So what might this be? Some kind of Final Fantasy sim title? Something else?
