Nintendo isn’t the only company not attending Gamescom 2012. SEGA will be a no-show, too.

SEGA said it “was simply a commercial decision” in explaining its absence.

The company said in a statement:

“Sega has made the decision not to attend Gamescom this year. Gamescom 2011 was a very successful show for us and continues to be the most important European event in the calendar.

“Unfortunately the release timing of our 2012 AAA titles and new projects don’t work with the mid- August scheduling of the show. The decision will not mean that Sega will never attend Gamescom in the future, this was simply a commercial decision made for 2012.”

Mike Roush wrote the following to close out his update:

“Wii have a few fun little updates coming for U, so keep your EYES out!!!”

Gaijin Games has hinted at a Wii U version of Bit.Trip Runner 2 many times before. The company may finally be able to announce something for the console during E3, which will take place in less than a month.

Timbletot originally appeared in the first Bit.Trip Runner title as a boss. You can find a two pieces of enemy art here.

Square Enix’s Tetsuya Nomura has basically been a weekly guest in Famitsu as of late. He spoke with the magazine once again this week.

More information from the interview will surely appear over the next few days.
