Romero was asked for his thoughts surrounding the console in an interview with GamesIndustry. However, he eventually said that the system “doesn’t look like it is innovative, and to me the Apple ecosystem is the place I like to live in and the Nintendo ecosystem has stopped their innovating ways.”

Romero explained:

The first screenshots from Splinter Cell: Blacklist have emerged. Ubisoft is expected to fully unveil the game later today during its E3 2012 conference.

I’m mainly posting this here because of the rumored Wii U version, which has gained more traction as the original speculation was correct. If it doesn’t happen, you can visit Gaming Everything for future developments on the game.

Art of Balance and Jett Rocket developer has an origin Wii U title in the works. It will be released as a downloadable title near/at the console’s launch.

Shin’en has confirmed a few elements thus far. Gamers will be able to experience the game fully on the Wii U GamePad. Additionally, players can switch between the television and the controller at any moment.

The mystery project will include a multiplayer mode in which one person uses a Wii remote and another plays on the GamePad.

More details will be provided in the third quarter of 2012.

Okay, so technically E3 2012 doesn’t start until tomorrow, but it sure feels like the ball starts rolling today. Four press conferences are lined up throughout the afternoon/evening, two of which should be relevant to your interests.

This is the schedule in full:

Monday

Microsoft – 12:30 PM EDT / 9:30 AM PDT
EA – 4:00 PM EDT / 1:00 PM PDT
Ubisoft – 6:00 PM EDT / 3:00 PM PDT
Sony – 9:00 PM EDT / 6:00 PM PDT

Tuesday

Nintendo E3 2012 presentation – 12:00 PM EDT / 9:00 AM PDT
Nintendo developer roundtable – 9:00 PM EDT / 6:00 PM PDT

Wednesday

Nintendo software showcase – 9:00 PM EDT / 6:00 PM PDT

We know that Ubisoft will be featuring Wii U games at its conference, and it’s possible EA could have a few titles in store for the console as well (at least a couple of its games are coming to the Wii in any case).

I’ll be covering all of these events on both Nintendo Everything and Gaming Everything. Obviously you’ll have to head on over to GE for Microsoft/Sony updates. Nintendo updates will be primarily posted on NE.

NE may go a bit quieter than usual during the Microsoft/Sony conferences. Same goes with GE during the Nintendo events.

In any case, I’ll be both updating both sites at a rapid pace over the next few days. Join us for the ride!
