Wii U won’t be getting Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag DLC

Ubisoft will not release any Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag DLC on Wii U, the publisher has confirmed.
A season pass was revealed for the game yesterday, but Wii U wasn’t included in the announcement. That was hardly a shocker. However, it’s definitely surprising to see Wii U missing out on all Assassin’s Creed IV DLC given how Assassin’s Creed III was properly supported last year.

Bravely Default has optional DLC item to restore SP
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Bravely Default: For the Sequel will offer a… unique DLC item.
Leaks out of this week’s Famitsu indicate that players can perform a “Bravely Second” attack with SP. While SP can apparently be restored in sleep mode, players will also have the option to purchase the “SP Drink” DLC (and maybe restore the gauge more quickly?).
Square Enix, seemingly responding to gamers upset by the news, pointed out on the Bravely Default Twitter account that the SP Drink is mainly intended for those who don’t have a ton of time to play the game. Another tweet mentioned that it’s supposed to be a fun little item, and players won’t be forced to make a purchase.

Toys “R” Us has listed two new Wii U Packs for France. Cherry, launching on November 27, is priced at €299.99. There’s also the Mango Pack, releasing on December 4 for €249.99.
The price discrepancy could mean that the Cherry pack will come with a game. Super Mario 3D World, maybe?
Ripstone says Nintendo has been changing tech policies more swiftly, Pure Chess on Wii U/3DS could support cross-play with PlayStation platforms
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 2 Comments
Eurogamer recently caught up with Phil Gaskell, creative director and co-founder of Ripstone. Gaskell shared some insight into the company’s relationship with Nintendo and noted how the Big N has been “a lot swifter” in changing its technical policies.
Specifically, Ripstone was told very quickly that cross-play is supported – even with non-Nintendo systems. Therefore Wii U and 3DS owners will be able to play Pure Chess with iOS and Android users online. Ripstone is also looking into the possibility of supporting the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita with cross-play.
According to Gaskell:
Watch_Dogs doesn’t force the inclusion of GTA V elements
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 1 Comment
Although Watch_Dogs is an open-world game, the team hasn’t forced the inclusion of similar elements as Grand Theft Auto V, a successful title in the genre. And so just because GTA V has helicopters, it doesn’t mean you’ll be seeing the same vehicle in Ubisoft’s upcoming release.
Creative director Jonathan Morin told VG247:
“When you do a game you always want to make sure that what you put in is to the service of the game. I think GTA has a great fantasy and everything they put in it reinforces that fantasy. What you don’t to do is start copying or start feeling the pressure of your neighbour like, ‘Oh my god we need a chopper.’”
It’s true that some elements will carry over. Cars, for instance, are obviously necessary. However, Morin says Watch_Dogs’ focus is placed on hacking at the end of the day.
