Five Nights at Freddy’s unlikely for Wii U with NX waiting in the wings
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 11 Comments
Five Nights at Freddy’s creator Scott Cawthon has been in talks with companies about bringing the franchise to consoles. One fan raised the possibility of a Wii U port, which Cawthon essentially ruled out. He’s not too sure that the console will still “be a thing” by the time Five Nights at Freddy’s ends up on consoles.
Nintendo’s next system, the NX, is due out next March. Perhaps Cawthon will consider the series for that platform instead?

The Pokemon Company International has confirmed that Pokemon Omega Ruby and Pokemon Alpha Sapphire have collectively sold over three million units across Europe since launching in November 2014.

Pokemon fans can watch the Pokemon National Championships as they happen starting this weekend. There will be three separate streams with English commentary from each of the main events: one for the Pokemon Trading Card Game National Championships, another for the Pokemon Video Game National Championships, and a third for the Pokken Tournament Championship Series. Streams will be available for the following events:
· 14–15 May: Liverpool, UK (Exhibition Centre Liverpool)
· 21–22 May: Kassel, Germany (Kongress Palais Kassel)
· 11–12 June: Milan, Italy (Mediolanum Forum, Assago MI)
