“What we added to our Privacy Policy for Wii U players is very nearly the same as existing terms for Xbox Live and PlayStation 3 users concerning the need to register for an Origin account if you want to play EA games with online features and content. That’s no different than the user experience of the past several years of Internet-connected game consoles and online services for games. To play the online features of our games, users need to create a user ID and account with EA. Since Origin was launched in June 2011, creating an EA account means you are creating an Origin account.” – EA Senior Director of Corporate Communications John Reseburg

This is somewhat in response to that Terms of Service change we read about a while back, but it’s also just a clarification from EA: Their goal for Origin on Wii U is the same as on other systems, and we should expect no more nor less.

There will be some sort of DLC in New Super Mario Bros. U, it seems. Under ‘Nintendo Network’ features, downloadable content is listed (presumably on the boxart).

We’re not entirely clear what’s being referred to here. Is this free content? Paid content?

If it’s the latter, NSMBU wouldn’t be the first Mario game to receive DLC. New Super Mario Bros. 2 has already churned out a few extra levels that users can pay for.

Don’t count on a new Tatsunoko vs. Capcom game anytime soon. Capcom’s Christian Svensson says that the company’s “rights with Tatsunoko have lapsed fairly recently”, meaning there wouldn’t be another title unless a new deal was decided upon.

The news also affects the original Wii game. Because the deal expired, Capcom is “no longer allowed to sell the title physically or digitally”.

Svensson wrote on the Capcom-Unity boards:

“Our rights with Tatsunoko have lapsed fairly recently (so we’re no longer allowed to sell the title physically or digitally). Unless Japan were to strike a new deal, I’d say the chances of this happening are slim.”
