Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments

Thus far, we haven’t seen many of Nintendo’s franchises running on Wii U. The company has only released a side-scrolling 2D Mario and has shown Pikmin on the new console.

But what about Nintendo’s other series? Fans are very much interested in seeing what Zelda, Metroid, F-Zero, and others would look like on Wii U.

The same goes for developers. Many have ideas about Nintendo’s many IPs and how they can be brought to the Wii U.

Below you’ll find commentary from creators at Sumo, Q-Games, Gaijin Games, and more, who have shared some of their suggestions.

UK retailer Very takes down individual GamePad listing

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments

And so it seems that you can’t purchase an individual GamePad from UK retailer Very after all. The retailer has now removed its listing, indicating that it was never supposed to go live in the first place.

Very had a price of £89 going for the GamePad. Since the outlet tends to inflate its prices, the controller would likely cost quite a bit less than that.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.
