Maestro Interactive Games is bringing a new game to the Wii U eShop known as “Percy’s Predicaments”.
Percy’s Predicaments offers platforming gameplay with some puzzle elements mixed in. You’ll be playing as Percy Penguin, a penguin who has a tendency to get himself into trouble. His nature causes him to come across a magical orb, of which be becomes captured inside. Players will need to collect golden fish in various levels before the time runs out to assist Percy.
Wii U owners can expect 250 levels scattered across multiple words: The Snow Caps, an ice world; The Grass Lands, a rain infested world; The Desert, a world with frequent sand storms; The Mushroom Land, a world filled with mushroom houses and magical properties; The Kingdom, a world full of castles that Percy will navigate; and The Digital World, a tron-esque environment.
Percy’s Penguin will be fully playable off-TV. Maestro will prepare new content for the game over a 12-month period (at least), and new levels will be available for free for a limited time each month. The studio also intends to further polish previously released levels.
No release date has been set for Percy’s Predicaments. When it launches, you’ll be able to grab it for $5.99.

Infinity Ward’s Mark Rubin now says he didn’t confirm Call of Duty: Ghosts for Wii U
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
So much for that confirmation of Call of Duty: Ghosts on Wii U.
During a GameSpot stage show at E3 2013 last week, Infinity Ward’s Mark Rubin said that Ghosts on Wii U is “probably in the next-gen bin”, but noted that the studio isn’t discussing it “yet” because “we want to keep it mysterious”.
Ward has since backpedaled on those comments, telling GamesIndustry that he actually isn’t sure if Call of Duty: Ghosts will be available on Wii U.
“Ha! You know that’s funny, because I don’t even know the answer to that. I swear to God, I don’t. I was trying to say in the interview [that] I really don’t know and I’m not supposed to talk about it. I’m not supposed to talk about the fact that I don’t know.”
If Ghosts were to come to Wii U, Rubin believes that the game could look as good as other current-gen versions:
“I imagine [it could], yeah. If you look at the hardware specs, I think it would be more in line with 360 and PS3, but I’m not sure. There could be some things [in the hardware] that bump it up a little higher than that. I haven’t played with it enough to know. I have one at home, and I think it’s cool; I can’t stop playing ZombiU.”
And so we’re back to square one. Call of Duty: Ghosts isn’t confirmed for Wii U, but Activision nor Infinity Ward have said that it isn’t coming.
A few Hero Bank details

We have a few details on SEGA’s newly announced 3DS game, Hero Bank.
The battle life RPG features the cyber sport “Hero Battle”. Those who take place in these battles download hero data from racers, baseball players, or anyone else they can think of. They then duke it out in a virtual arena.
Hero Bank is a battle life RPG. After battling in one-on-one fights, players manage the cash they win. Rather than saving the world, your goal is to become a billionaire.
