Planning on downloading Pikmin 3 instead of going the retail route? Then you’ll need 5GB of storage space. An additional 31MB is required for saves. Note that there’s only one save slot per user.

Pikmin 3’s Japanese Wii U eShop page also mentions Internet connectivity for uploading online scores of some sort. You’ll also be able to send screenshots through Miiverse – something that was announced previously.

Puissance Nintendo posted its interview with Super Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai, which was conducted at E3 2013. Sakurai talked about how the Wii U and 3DS versions came to be, DLC, patching, why the Villager and Wii Fit Trainer made it in, and more. Sakurai’s comments can be found below.

Sakurai on how the new Smash Bros. came to be and differences between the two versions…

While the development of Kid Icarus: Uprising was at its end, Satoru Iwata came me propose to develop the new Smash Bros game, and asked me if he should be on 3DS or Wii U. We were arrived at a point where the series could not evolve too, and we wondered if the passage on handheld console was the solution. In the past, we have increased the number of characters and arenas, but this was not enough.

Ubisoft announced two next-generation games at E3 2013 – The Crew and The Division – but neither was confirmed for Wii U. There was always hope of both titles hitting the console, however. Remember: it took ages for Ubisoft to confirm Splinter Cell: Blacklist and Watch_Dogs for Wii U.

Unfortunately, it’s sounding unlikely that Ubisoft will be putting The Crew and The Division on Wii U. When asked about the possibility of the two games coming to Nintendo’s new system, a source speaking with The Examiner said: “I’m not sure, but I seriously doubt it.”

We normally wouldn’t be keen on posting rumors from anonymous sources, but today’s speculation comes from a site that leaked details on The Crew prior to its reveal at E3 2013 earlier this month.

Amazon has discounted the cost of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on Wii U. Normally priced at $59.99, you can now pick up the game for $39.99. The official product page is located here.

Slightly less noteworthy is Amazon’s Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D discount. You can save a little over $6 with the retailer’s price.

Ubisoft has opened some kind of website relating to Watch_Dogs.

The new “WeareData” page doesn’t say much. It does, however, contain the following: “Have you ever experienced the power of data? Be prepared for Watch_Dogs WeareData.”

Access the site here.

DayZ will likely be appearing on consoles, with the game’s developer having taken interest in the PlayStation 4. As for Wii U? Well… a release on the system isn’t looking likely at the moment.

When asked about Wii U, creator Dean Hall said:

“I don’t know. I haven’t really looked into it much. I doubt it.”

Those words certainly cast doubt on the possibility of DayZ coming to Wii U.
