LostWinds now transferable from Wii to Wii U
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii, Wii U | 2 Comments
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).

Rumor: Ubisoft making new 2D Prince of Persia with UbiArt Framework engine
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Rumors | 1 Comment
Ubisoft is rumored to be making a new 2D Prince of Persia game built with the UbiArt Framework engine – the same tech used in the creation of Rayman Legends and Child of Light.
French website Le Portail du Jeu Video claims that the title utilizes “the same techniques of animation [as used] in the last Rayman” and has the Prince’s body “divided into several parts (torso, pelvis, leg, shin, foot, forearm, hands, etc..) that can be animated independently of each other.”
The site goes on to say, “This provides a real diversity / credibility in the postures and movements of the hero…. The quality of the work is to believe [it is] 3D modelling [with] transitions [that are] are fluid and feel well made.”
Officially, Ubisoft has said that the publisher “does not comment on rumours or speculation”.

Will Diddy Kong be in Mario Kart 8?
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii U | 4 Comments
Might Diddy Kong be included on the roster for Mario Kart 8?
The Spanish edition of ONM has posted a preview shot from its latest issue featuring the upcoming racer. You’ll notice that Diddy Kong is clearly shown among Mario Kart 8’s characters.
I wouldn’t say this officially confirms Diddy Kong’s appearance in Mario Kart 8. Still, it’s interesting that he’s included in ONM’s preview. Could the magazine have made a mistake? We’re just a little more than a month away from Mario Kart 8’s launch, so it shouldn’t be too long before we find out if this is the real deal.
