Wii U

Warner Bros. will be sharing some news about Batman: Arkham Origins at the San Diego Comic-Con later this week. An official event description we recently discovered states that the game’s official panel will provide fans with “the latest reveals”. Warner Bros. Montreal creative director Eric Holmes will be in attendance, as will actors Roger Craig Smith (Batman) and Troy Baker (Joker).

Adding to the hype is this tweet from Holmes posted over the weekend:


The Batman: Arkham Origins panel will take place this Thursday at 1 PM.


Martian Manhunter was announced as the fifth character DLC for Injustice: Gods Among Us at Evo 2013 yesterday. When will players be able to get their hands on the new piece of content? The wait won’t be long, as Warner Bros. has said that Martian Manhunter will be releasing “in the coming weeks.”

You can forget about F1 2013 coming to the Wii U.

Writing on Twitter, Codemasters creative director Steve Hood said that F1 2013 would “have to be a very different game just to run on the Wii U”. That means if you want any sort of F1 action, you’ll need to settle for F1 Race Stars Powered Up Edition.

Hood’s tweet read:

The Soul Saga Kickstarter has come to an end, but it was most definitely a success for developer Disastercake.

A total of $192,222 was raised over the span of a month. Disastercake’s original goal was just $60,000.

Thanks to the huge support given to Soul Saga, the game managed to reach most of its stretch goals on Kickstarter. Soul Saga will indeed come to PlayStation 4, PS Vita, and Wii U. It will also feature elements such as voice acting.

Wii U’s sluggish start is far from a secret. The console’s disappointing start extends to the UK, where sales have been slow – to put it mildly.

A new report on Gamasutra paints an ever worse picture for the Wii U in Britain. According to the site, the system managed to sell just 179,000 piece of software at retail this year. Gamasutra notes, “Even if digital sales added 10 percent to the total software units sold on the Wii U, its year-to-date results would just barely match retail software sales for the moribund PlayStation Vita.”

It’s all on Nintendo to fix the situation. The company hopes that with the new releases coming to Wii U this year, things will begin to turn around.
