How to Survive may be coming to Wii U. The USK (Germany’s ratings board) added a listing for a potential Wii U version to its database recently.

505 Games announced How to Survive for digital platforms a few months ago. It’s a brand new IP from developer EKO Studios.

Here’s the official overview:

Featuring a robust crafting system, unique survival guide and a host of playable characters, How to Survive strands players on a remote archipelago off the coast of Colombia in the aftermath of an unexplained accident … but you’re not alone. In order to survive, you must fulfill the most basic of needs – seeking out food, water and shelter, as well as crafting dozens of tools and weapons from fishing rods to Molotov cocktails. Players can also team up with other survivors in local and online multiplayer story and challenge modes to take on a growing array of the infected.

How to Survive will be released this fall. We’ll try to find out if this one really is in the works for Wii U.

Thanks to LetsPlayWiiU for the tip.

This marks the first change for the icons in over ten years.

For the upcoming Japanese release of Gaist Crusher, Capcom is working on a special 3DS accessory – shown in the photos above. The cover allows for “Gai Metals” to be attached to the 3DS, providing special in-game gear.

Players won’t have to buy any of these accessories to play through the entire game. But with Capcom particularly targeting kids with Gaist Crusher, there could be a lot of money to be made here.
