REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Nintendo has revealed additional details about SiNG PARTY, the new singing-and-dancing game for Wii U that turns living rooms into concert venues. The game will launch alongside the Wii U console on Nov. 18 at a suggested retail price of $59.99, and includes a microphone. Wii U owners can also download the game directly from the Nintendo eShop for $49.99, though they will need to obtain a compatible microphone separately. The game is backward compatible with all licensed Wii microphones, while new microphones will be available at a suggested retail price of $24.99 each.
The game includes a wide variety of music from many different genres and eras, with a primary focus on creating the best party atmosphere for both singing and dancing. Artists like Rihanna, Jackson 5, Lady Gaga, The Wanted, James Brown, The Village People and Selena Gomez & The Scene blend together to create a perfect party playlist for everyone young and old. Additional songs will be available starting in 2013.

Former Square president Hisashi Suzuki doesn’t have particularly nice things to say about Square Enix today, particularly the decision to merge the two formerly separate companies. Here’s the tweet:
Now, this is the Google-translate version so of course the rage might be slightly lost, but the point still stands: He thinks the merger was/will be a failure, and there is no vision for the future from the company. Harsh words!

According to Broken Rules, Chasing Aurora’s “Hide & Seek” mode offers the following:
“Communication is key – in Hide and Seek, the team is up against the Wii U GamePad player, who steers the Golden Bird on the Wii U GamePad.

Friend Codes are officially gone with the introduction of Wii U
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Friend Codes are now a thing of the past. Wii U won’t be using those long digits in connecting with friends online.
A Nintendo spokesperson confirmed that the ID you create from the account system will be taking the place of Friend Codes:
“Our plan is to replace Friend Codes with a much more user-friendly Account ID system, which employs user-created account names.”
Technically Friend Codes are still around because of the 3DS. With Nintendo’s next handheld system though, I’m sure they’ll be gone for good.
The low-down on Wii U’s parental controls

Instruction manuals come in handy. They inform you about certain things, like the Wii U’s parental controls.
The Wii U’s book says that by enabling parental controls, System Settings options such as Internet Settings, System Transfers and the ability to format the system’s memory will all be blocked. It overall limits the viewing and downloading of content. You’ll need an identification number, created during the initial setup, to access these items.
Children could be potentially be blocked from certain games based on their ratings, all games’ online offerings, the Internet browser, the Wii U eShop, posting in and viewing Miiverse content, finding and registering new friends, and managing the console’s data.
