Straight Right is working on a AAA port of a multiplatform Square Enix game for Wii U. We still don’t know which title this is, but you can cross one off the list.

Crystal Dynamics’ Meagan Marie confirmed that there still aren’t any plans for a Wii U version of Tomb Raider.

She said:

“Tomb Raider is in development for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. No Wii U at this time!”

And thus the guessing game continues. Hitman: Absolution? Sleeping Dogs?

Anyone have their own guess?

If there is a new Mass Effect game (it’s really a matter of when, right?), it won’t star Commander Sheppard at all. BioWare would look to take the franchise in a different direction with a brand new hero.

BioWare Montreal producer Fabrice Condominas explained:

“There is one thing we are absolutely sure of – there will be no more Shepard, and the trilogy is over. This is really our starting point. Now the Mass Effect universe is vast, and very, very rich. So at this point in time, we don’t even know what kind of time frame we’re going to be in. All we’re doing is more gathering ideas from the teams, gathering feedback to see several things. So first, we don’t want to make ‘Shepard 2?, or Mass Effect 4 with like, ‘oh there’s no more Shepard but you’re a soldier in the universe’. So this will be a very, very different context for sure, and nothing has been decided on the rest.”

Nintendo really really doesn’t like pirates. They don’t like them so much that the only pirates in their games either don’t dress like pirates at all, or are robots. No real pirates allowed. Did you know they even have an anti-piracy website?

UK resident Justin Brooks learned this the hard way when Nintendo found out he had been selling “thousands” of counterfeit Wii and DS games to people in the region, reportedly making around $962,000 over two years. Now his escapades are coming to an end and he faces two counts of “fraudulent trading”, two counts of “supplying an article to use in fraud”, two counts of “unauthorized possession of goods bearing a trademark”, and one count of “unauthorized use of a trademark.”

I’m posting this with some (okay, a lot actually) hesitancy. The source code on Demon’s Tribe initially listed Wii U, but all signs since then have pointed to an iOS release.

So we are posting this trailer, but this may be the last time you hear about it on here – unless SEGA confirms that this is in the works for Wii U.
