Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 2 Comments
AE Games has confirmed Julius Caesar as the next roster addition for Mad Men Football. He’ll be joining George Washington, who was announced as the first inclusion last month.
AE Games published the following overview of Julius Caesar last week:
If you’re sick of betrayal, tune in to this teaser.
He hopes not to fail, hail (Mary pass from) Julius Caesar!
We hope the Ides of March, found you well!Julius Caesar will now be leading his legions to “battle” not on typical battlefields, but instead on football fields! Julius Caesar will be throwing a football down the field to break his “enemies'” defenses, instead of throwing a javelin (or, pilum as some history fans may refer to it)! What historical figure will join the Mad Men Football roster next? Only time will tell…

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 30 Comments
Update: Or maybe not? We’re hearing that some people are still able to take screenshots (including reader Skarnet). Not entirely sure what the deal is!
Original: As a little bit of random news, we’re hearing that the Wii U no longer allows users to to take screenshots of the system menu and processes. That means owners can’t capture images of their daily log or other similar features. At least for now, it’s unclear why the change was made.

VideoGamer spoke with Blizzard producer Alex Mayberry about StarCraft: Ghost, and was told that “the idea is still perfectly viable.” Still, the project probably won’t be revisited “any time soon.”
Mayberry’s comments in full:
