Ah… how nice is this? After confusing Wii U owners countless times as to whether Batman: Arkham Origins’ Deathstroke DLC would be made available on the platform, Warner Bros. has finally confirmed that the pre-order bonus will in fact be distributed on Nintendo’s console. Simply reserve the game before release and Deathstroke should be yours.

Hopefully Warner won’t backtrack on this. We tried contacting the publisher a couple of times, but never received any sort of response about the Deathstroke situation.

“Beenox has been able to use the Alchemy Engine that powers all the versions of Swap Force. They have take over all the gameplay, toy compatibility and levels and systems and make that all available on the Wii. Of course, the Wii is a 480p system so it’s not a High Definition system so to speak, and so graphics wise it will have that type of outlook, gameplay wise it will be very, very close to everything else.”

– Vicarious Visions CEO Guha Bala


It’s weird to hear people still talking about the Wii, even though the Wii U has only been out for about half a year. For some reason it feels so much older once you’ve jumped to the Wii U!

Despite the fact that Capcom canned the project, some hardcore fans of the now-unreleased Mega Man Legends 3 have decided to go ahead and make their own version of the game in 8bit, classic Mega Man style. That’s not all though: They’re also getting help from two former Capcom employees that worked on the Legends series, Hideki Ishikawa and Makoto Tomozawa. Ishikawa was the character designer for the series and Tomozawa composed the music. Both will be helping out by contributing box art and music to the game.

News surfaced this past weekend that Nintendo was unable to acquire the WiiU.com domain. The company has since responded to the situation, stating that it continues to review legal options.

Nintendo’s official statement reads:

“Nintendo’s efforts to recover the domain name WiiU.com through a Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy administrative proceeding were unsuccessful. Nintendo has a strong history of protecting against infringement of our intellectual property rights and we are continuing to review our legal options. This decision does not impact Nintendo’s ability to enforce against violations concerning intellectual property.”

Nintendo of America filed a cybersquatting complaint against the owner of WiiU.com back in February. However, a decision was reached and Nintendo was not given possession of the domain.

Nintendo’s official website listings aren’t always the most accurate, but one such entry suggests that Vampire Master of Darkness will be heading to the 3DS eShop this week. The classic game will supposedly be available on the Virtual Console this Thursday for $4.99. We’ll know in a few days if the listing is spot on or another error on Nintendo’s part.
