Firebrand Games is working on a multiplatform title that will be coming to Wii U.

I could be wrong here, but I would think that the studio would be working on Need for Speed Hot Pursuit. Criterion is busy working on the PS3/360/PC/Vita versions, so assuming the racer is also coming to Wii U, EA probably asked Firebrand to make the Wii U edition.

Activision confirmed Goldfinger as the final movie-inspired mission in 007 Legends today.

In 007 Legends, the Goldfinger mission finds the best undercover agent early in his career investigating Auric Goldfinger – a gold magnate thought to be behind a recent spike in gold prices – only to discover a larger plot to irradiate the entire Fort Knox gold reserve.

In order to thwart the plot, Bond takes action to infiltrate Goldfinger’s headquarters with help from a questionable acquaintance – Pussy Galore. Upon arrival at Fort Knox, 007 is tasked with defusing a nuclear bomb before it detonates, and the only thing standing between Bond and the bomb is Goldfinger’s henchman – Oddjob – and his notoriously deadly hat. Will Bond be able to defeat Oddjob? Will Goldfinger’s evil plans succeed?

The other playable missions are Die Another Day, Moonraker, Licence to Kill and On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.

A few more quotes from Pokemon Black/White 2 producer Junichi Masuda can be found below.

Masuda answered questions about a possible Black/White 3 game, discussed his interest in the 3DS, and commented on a request to make another Pokemon Snap for Wii U. Sadly, it doesn’t sound like he’s interested, but he did tease Black/White 2 for the console – sounds like he was joking about that one!

Most importantly, the system will include an application called “Wii U Chat”. This will likely allow users to communicate with video over Wi-Fi.

Ace Attorney 5 is coming to North America and Europe. What does that mean for Ace Attorney Investigations 2?

Capcom’s Christian Svensson acknowledged that strong sales of AA5 “certainly can’t hurt” the possibility of AA2 localization. He also said that higher sales for upcoming game compared to the company’s internal forecasts would help the franchise.

Svensson went on to speak about the “aggressive” forecasts for Ace Attorney 5.

“AAI2 isn’t being held hostage so please don’t read this that way but if they do well, they certainly can’t hurt. Justification for higher forecasts via stronger than expected sales in the franchise would be helpful.

“Bear in mind… the forecasts for AA5 I’ve put in are aggressive (high) relative to the historical performance of the franchise (needed to make sure it came over), so I’m counting on you guys to not make me a liar.”
