Resident Evil 6 has recently been released for Xbox 360 and PS3 but Nakanishi believes that GamePad would give Capcom the opportunity to make something different on Nintendo’s new console.

Capcom has yet to announce a Resident Evil game for Wii U, but Revelations director Koshi Nakanishi is open to the possibility.

If Nakanishi were to create a new entry in the legendary series for Nintendo’s newest home console, he “would definitely want to make something that couldn’t be done on any other hardware.” Nakanishi feels that the GamePad leads to a wide array of possibilities and thinks “it would let us create a very unique and fun Resident Evil game.”

“The Wii U certainly looks like it will enable creators to come up with all kinds of never-before-seen gameplay ideas. There are lots of things I’d like to try out on it. If I was to work on a game for the Wii U, I would definitely want to make something that couldn’t be done on any other hardware. The GamePad’s separate screen enables so many possibilities, and playing on a television screen would enable sharing the experience in a way that wasn’t possible on Nintendo 3DS. I feel it would let us create a very unique and fun Resident Evil game.”

Nintendo to Launch New Wii Console Bundles on Nov. 4, Featuring Ubisoft’s Just Dance 4 and Activision’s Skylanders Giants

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Nintendo has great news for gift seekers looking to keep their loved ones entertained and energized this holiday season. Starting Nov. 4, consumers in the United States will be able to choose from two new Wii bundles, each containing a Wii console and one of two new games from Nintendo’s third-party partners. One bundle includes Ubisoft’s Just Dance 4 and a white Wii console with matching Wii Remote Plus and Nunchuk controllers, offered while supplies last at a suggested retail price of $129.99. The other bundle includes Activision’s Skylanders Giants, a blue Wii console with matching Wii Remote Plus and Nunchuk controllers, one Portal of Power, two Skylanders characters and one exclusive Giant Skylander, available while supplies last at a suggested retail price of $149.99.

“These bundles give consumers a way to enjoy some of the hottest new games for this generation’s most popular console at an attractive price,” said Steve Singer, Nintendo of America’s vice president of Licensing. “Together with our third-party publishing partners, we’re delivering maximum value for families who want to get the most for their home entertainment dollar.”


Update: DQF has provided an accurate translation of the post:

“The presented characters aren’t the only ones usable in Scribblenauts Unlimited, there are also Yoshi’s in different colors and not to forget Tingle of the Legend of Zelda side. Better, multiple objects from these two sagas are back, in the form of the Triforce or the Ocarina. For example, if you give the Ocarina to Link and he use it, Epona will gallop to him. However, the studio’s spokesman said Nintendo want to hold a certain image for their characters so you couldn’t make a zombie Mario because Nintendo didn’t want you to.”

Again, that does sound like Tingle as well as different colored Yoshis will be included… but I’m still cautious!

Original: The Wii U version of Scribblenauts Unlimited will offer a host of different Nintendo characters and items. Warner Bros. and 5th Cell haven’t exactly dished out the specifics on this yet, but we do have a new tidbit thanks to a French preview.

To call out Epona, Link can use an ocarina. The triforce will apparently be included in some form as well.

This other part you can mark as a biiiiig rumor, mainly because I don’t speak any French at all. The way Google is wording a portion of the article, it sounds like different colored Yoshis and Tingle may also be included in Scribblenauts Unlimited.

This is what it says – again, through Google Translate:

“First, a few Nintendo characters presented are not the only ones available in Scribblenauts Unlimited, different colors of Yoshi being in the program, not to mention the side Tingle series The Legend of Zelda.”

If anyone wants to translate this short article, feel free to send it our way.

Thanks to Alex for the tip.


Between the images we posted yesterday and the pictures in the gallery above, we should have all ten Wii U Burger King toys covered.

At least this Wii U deal is starting to make more sense! For awhile, it seems liked most of the toys wouldn’t be Wii U-focused. But as is shown in the gallery above, there are quite a few that feature the GamePad – in miniature form, that is.

If you head over to Burger King, any of the ten toys should be available now.
