Soulcalibur II HD Online was announced a couple of months ago for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Unfortunately, Wii U was left out of the mix.

When asked why the updated fighter won’t be available on Nintendo’s console, Namco Bandai explained:

“We have always been willing to try any platform if there is enough demand. Project Soul doesn’t have any attachment to a particular console; only the desire to achieve the greatest results possible for the platform chosen,” Project Soul told us.

Wouldn’t it have been nice to see Soulcalibur II on Wii U knowing that the original came out on GameCube? It does stink, doesn’t it? Who knows… perhaps Namco Bandai could have included Link in a potential Wii U version!

The Wonderful 101 isn’t really selling well in any territory. We already know that it got off to an incredibly rough start in Japan, but no data had been provided.

Now we do, and they paint an even worse picture for The Wonderful 101’s Japanese debut. 4Gamer reports that the title moved just a measly 5,000 copies in its first day. A week later, the game didn’t even make it into the top 20.

Not exactly the kind of news you like to hear!

Nintendo TVii was said to be on track for a release in Europe sometime this year. Only four months remain in 2013, and we haven’t heard a peep out of Nintendo of Europe. What’s the deal?

The good news is that Nintendo TVii is still planned for the territory. The bad news is that Nintendo still has no concrete news to share.

In a statement, the company said:

“We are working to bring a similar Nintendo TVii service to Europe however we have nothing to announce at the current time.”

In an interview with CVG, Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg had high praise for Nintendo and spoke positively about the company’s support for Wii U.

Regarding Nintendo in general, Hirshberg says Nintendo “has always found ways to remain completely relevant” and “has some of the best game-makers in the world,” adding that people shouldn’t count them out.

“I want all of the great games in this industry to succeed because more people will be playing games and that’s better for all of us. Nintendo has been a great partner for us. It’s had hardware hits and misses in the past, but it has always found ways to remain completely relevant. It has some of the best game-makers in the world, and I wouldn’t count them out.”

Hirshberg also commented on the Wii U’s slow start up to this point. By supporting Wii U with titles such as Call of Duty: Ghosts, the publisher hopes to make the platform more appealing.

“Nintendo is a very successful company but obviously having a rough go with the Wii U launch thus far. I’m sure Nintendo and the rest of the industry wanted a different result for the Wii U, but if we can add to the appeal of the platform then we absolutely will.”
