Super Smash Bros. for Wii U might be incorporating NFC functionality, new comments from Nintendo France general director Stephan Bole suggest. Bole told Le Figaro in an interview, “The NFC will be used in the Wii U version of Super Smash Bros.” While the interview is certainly trustworthy, we’ll need an official announcement before we can say this is confirmed.

Update: Essentially confirmed to be a guess.

The latest issue of Spain’s Official Nintendo Magazine claims that Super Smash Bros. for 3DS will arrive in September. I’ll be perfectly honest with you: that release month is completely possible, but I doubt ONM has any sort of insider information. Unfortunately, magazines often list their own guess.

Bandai Namco is releasing One Piece: Unlimited World Red in North America as a retail product on all platforms but Wii U. Despite this, it sounds like Wii U will be receiving the “Day 1 Edition” content, which includes original costumes and a new quest.

Bandai Namco told fans on Twitter last week:

Could this be a sign that Bandai Namco is planning some sort of retail release for Unlimited World Red in North America after all? Maybe as a limited run?

Could GungHo Online Entertainment be making a game for Wii U? An official E3 page that lets users search for product categories lists the Puzzle & Dragons Z creator under the Wii U/RPG category. This seems like an interesting find, though I’d take it with a grain of salt given the possibility of an inaccurate listing.

Disney Infinity 2.0 may include Maleficent, if the tweet above is any indication. Although an official announcement hasn’t been made, the silhouette seems to match up with the infamous villain.

Maleficent’s appearance could tie in to the live-action Maleficent film, which is set to launch later this year.

USGamer spoke with “one high-level localization specialist” in light of the controversy surrounding Tomodachi Life. For those unaware, some gamers have taken dissatisfaction in the fact that the game does not support same-sex relationships.

USGamer first asked its source about how much freedom Nintendo of America has in this situation, and whether NCL would have acquiesced to NoA deciding to add in same-sex relationships.

“On the one hand, it’s tempting to say ‘yes,’ because Nintendo of America enjoys one of the healthiest relationships in the business with its parent company when it comes to localization. No one else has the leeway to make sweeping changes like this one. The US version of Animal Crossing has added Western holidays, events, and items; the main character of Rusty’s Big Deal Baseball got a complete makeover for the US version; and even Tomodachi Life already has a number of non-trivial changes to the US release, which Nintendo has boasted about elsewhere. In an industry where it can be almost impossible just to get the original developers to add proper support for plural cases, NOA was in a better position than anyone to push for same-sex relationships in the game.”

Update: Now confirmed – see the (Spanish) image above (thanks Iván!).

Original: For those unaware, it’s possible to move content stored on your Wii – like WiiWare and Virtual Consoles titles – over to a Wii U console. There were a few exceptions though. LostWinds, for example, couldn’t be transferred for whatever reason.

That has apparently since changed. Based on information provided by reader linkvron, LostWinds can now be brought over to Wii U. Can anyone else verify this information?

The image above comes from a classification on Korea’s RRA website. At the moment, it’s unclear as to what the listing pertains to.

The unknown Nintendo device is described as a “portable video player” and features the model name WIS-009. I won’t even try to speculate about this, as it could turn out to be nothing at all. We’ll keep the post updated with additional news (if there is any).
