Straight Right, the team behind Mass Effect 3 on Wii U, is porting a “big” game set “in a well known franchise” to Wii U for Square Enix. What might that project be?

Square Enix and Straight Right haven’t haven’t said anything since that discovery was made, but news could be coming soon.

Last week, a fan asked the studio on Twitter if they could provide any hints about its mystery Wii U title. Straight Right didn’t budge, but hinted that it may have an update after DICE – which wrapped up a few days ago.

Giants Software’s Marc Schwegler of Farming Simulator fame feels that the Wii U has a lot of untapped potential. Schwegler told NowGamer that if this potential is explored, Nintendo’s newest console “could be more popular than Wii”.

Schwegler said:

“I think it should do as well as the Wii, maybe even better. It’s difficult to say, it’s really depending on what games they will add that really use the extra device you get with it. There’s a lot of potential that’s not tapped yet, if it is and if it will be then I think it could be more popular than the Wii because it’s something more. Wii motion was okay, everybody copied it but it’s done, people are returning to regular controllers because it’s easier to play and you have much more options. A touch device, you could put a whole set of controls on there.”

SEGA has denied rumors that Aliens: Colonial Marines was primarily developed by TimeGate Studios. A rumor originating from last year reared its head yesterday, claiming that Gearbox only worked on the game’s multiplayer aspects.

Speaking with Playnews during the Italian Aliens: Colonial Marines’ launch event, SEGA of America senior producer Matthew J. Powers denied the speculation.

Powers said:

“Absolutely not, the game has been developed by Gearbox Software. Other studios [like Timegate] helped Gearbox on the production of single and multiplayer.”

Even Michel Ancel is upset about Rayman Legends’ delay. The Rayman creator has been seen with other dev team staffers in photos protesting Ubisoft’s decision to push back the game.

A banner depicted in snapshots includes the words “Release Rayman. Support Ubisoft Montpelier.” Rayman’s speech bubble says “SVP” – which is “please” in English – and the character himself is crying.

Rayman Legends’ delay on Wii U was announced last week. The game is essentially done, but it won’t be hitting Nintendo’s console until early September so that work on newly announced PlayStation 3/Xbox 360 versions can be completed. Ubisoft wishes to release all three editions of Rayman Legends simultaneously in order to avoid two separate launches.

A third entry in the Batman: Arkham series is on the way. In fact, it could arrive before the end of the year.

Time Warner’s CFO and chief administrative officer John K. Martin quietly revealed the news during the company’s investors call last week:

“And we also have a strong games release this year, which will include the next release in the Batman Arkham franchise. So all in all, we expect Warners to post another very strong year in 2013. And with a little luck, the year should be as good or maybe even a little bit better than 2012.”

It’s unclear if Martin was referring to the calender year or next fiscal year. Either way, we know a new Batman is in development. VG247 is running a rumor that it isn’t being made by Rocksteady Studios, interestingly enough.

Capcom has supported Wii U with two game’s thus far: Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate and Resident Evil: Revelations, which will arrive on the console soon. Aside from these two releases, more support from the publisher seems to be on the way.

When asked by a fan why Capcom Arcade Cabinet and Darkstalkers Resurrection aren’t coming to Wii U, Capcom’s Christian Svensson explained that the titles’ inception came “before having visibility into the digital Wii U market or Nintendo’s policies/vehicles pertaining to digital.” Svensson did leave a tease for Wii U eShop fans, noting that they “will have things to look forward to in the future.”

Multiplatform refers to”more than one”. It does not necessarily mean “all”.

To answer your question more clearly, the projects in question were conceived of and started before having visibility into the digital Wii U market or Nintendo’s policies/vehicles pertaining to digital.

Fear not though. Wii U eShop fans will have things to look forward to in the future.

In another thread discussing Wii U support in general, Svensson additionally teased:

We’ve got MH Tri Ultimate and RE: Revelations announced for Wii U with more fun you’ll hear about “in the not-so-distant future ™”.

What else might Capcom have in store for Wii U?
