Nintendo has approved Scirra for Wii U development, the company announced on Facebook today.

Scirra’s first order of business will be with regard to Construct 2. Sometime in the future, the engine will gain a Wii U exporter – meaning even more projects will be possible for the system.

Darling apparently went on to talk about how Nintendo could look into the realm of brain-controlled gaming with their next home consols, or perhaps something even later than that, and said that the tech is already being researched heavily at Warwick University.

NetherRealm Studios held a stream for Injustice: Gods Among Us and highlighted the upcoming Martian Manhunter DLC.

The following tidbits were shared, as transcribed by Siliconera:

• Martian Manhunter has an excellent teleport coupled with a variety of tools that allow him to function well as an anti-zoning character .
• His trait is an “Alien Malleability” that allows him stretch various parts of his body to extend his combos in ways not otherwise possible.
• While he can deal damage at a close range, he isn’t a rushdown type and according to comments made on stream he isn’t exceptionally good at mid-range.
• Martian Manhunter the ability to perform an air dash and by spending meter he can cancel into another air dash in the opposite direction.

NetherRealm also confirmed once again that more character DLC is on the way, and the game itself has been a very big success. More live-streams will be held accompanying future character releases.

Following Ubisoft’s Rayman Legends delay, members of the development team – including Rayman creator Michel Ancel – were seen holding signs and supposedly protesting the announcement.

As it turns out, this wasn’t what happened. There was no protest.

Rayman Legends lead game designer Emile Morel explained to EDGE how the whole situation turned into a misunderstanding:

“As for the protest about the delay, it actually never happened, it’s a funny story and in the end a big misunderstanding. A few days after the announcement of the delay, one morning two Rayman fans came by the studio with a funny banner to protest about the delay in a nice and humoristic way. We’re not used to have fans coming by the studio, so some members of the team took pictures with them to be nice and friendly. We spent some time talking with them and once they left I remember someone in the team asking: ‘Did we tell them not to put these pictures online?’ The answer was ‘no’ and two hours later these pictures were everywhere and people started to think that the whole team was protesting about the delay. In the end, no harm was done, and this gives us a funny story to tell!”
