Okay, posting the logo by itself might be a bit pointless. But this is the perfect opportunity to remind the Professor Layton fans out there that Miracle Mask will be releasing in Europe in October and North America in November. It’s the first game in the franchise for the 3DS.


EA sees some similarities between the Wii U GamePad and Microsoft’s SmartGlass. Cam Weber, the label’s general manager of American football, said that from a conceptual standpoint, look at the two technologies “in the same kind of way.”

According to Weber:

“Conceptually we look at it in the same kind of way. I think our designers are trying to solve problems around, ‘How do you take advantage of the smart glass, on either device, and what kind of functionality does that unlock? And I think it’ll benefit both.”

“To be more specific, we have Wii U in development now [for Madden], we’ll learn from it and it’ll take us further in terms of delivering on the SmartGlass.”

Remember how some of EA’s sports titles on Wii used a visual cartoony style? Well, you won’t be seeing anything like that on Wii U. Weber promised that Madden for Nintendo’s new console “will be the real deal.”

Weber said:

“I can’t really talk about it much, but I think what we’re doing is really cool. Maybe we’re not hearing a lot about [Wii U] today or in this week, but I certainly believe it’s going to be a product we’re going to be proud of.

“Here’s what I will say, and she (EA PR person) may not want to hear me say this, but it’s the truth: Whatever we release on the Wii U will not be a cartoony, dumbed-down, arcade football experience. It will be the real deal, HD simulation football.”

Another topic brought up in the same interview is the possibility of NCAA Football on the system. However, Weber wasn’t able to confirm the franchise for Wii U.

LEGO Batman 2 looks very similar to the 3DS/Vita versions. I guess all three are the same game.


So yeah, no open world in the Wii version (or 3DS/DS editions). Kind of a shame, but what can you do?


Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime believes the company’s fans have an insatiable apatite.

He feels that Nintendo delivered on a number of fan requests at this year’s E3, such as a new Pikmin, a Mario game launching with a new console, and a brand new project that brings big franchises together in Nintendo Land. Despite this, most fans have been vocal in saying that the Big N’s conference was a disappointment.

Reggie commented on this and more in an interview with Kotaku. Find out what else he had to say by heading past the break.
