Wii U

Bethesda announced Wolfenstein: The New Order earlier today. The game is heading to the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, and next-gen platforms.

Could the Wii U be included in the latter group? Bethesda’s Pete Hines wouldn’t say when asked on Twitter, noting:

Bethesda hasn’t been keen on supporting Nintendo in the past, so I wouldn’t count on this one coming to Wii U. Still, it is interesting that Hines didn’t say “no” outright.

At this point, you can pretty much forget about any kind of Injustice: Gods Among Us downloadable content for Wii U. Warner Bros. was asked about Wii U DLC just ahead of the game’s launch last month, but continues to offer up the following comment:

“We don’t have any more specific details to release about the Wii U version that haven’t already been made public. If we do have new details to discuss, we’ll release them publicly.”

What makes this particularly strange is that Nintendo had said Injustice would support DLC during a previous Nintendo Direct. The game’s box also mentions the ability to download additional content.

DLC itself shouldn’t be an issue. We’ve seen plenty of games support the functionality, including Assassin’s Creed III and Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper.

This week’s GameStop ad has gone live. It’s another mostly boring week, but we do once again see that the retailer will be giving out a medal with the purchase of Sniper Elite V2.

The full lineup of deals can be found in the circular below:




“Edward Kenway is a raucous and bawdy chap, but he’s also a married man, and one of his primary motivation in Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag is to get rich and prove himself a ‘man of quality’ to his family and betters. So there is a special woman in Edward’s life, but there are also other not-so-special women as well.”

– Lead Scriptwriter Darby McDevitt


McDevitt also said that the game should end up being “more open and free than ever before”, which makes sense given the location and setting of the game. An open-world pirate game wouldn’t be terribly good if it weren’t free and open!

DICE hasn’t managed to get Frostbite running on Wii U in any form.

Forget Frostbite 3. The studio hasn’t even had much luck with Frostbite 2.

A twitter exchange between DICE’s Frostbite technical director Johan Andersson and a fan reveals that the company’s attempts to run Frostbite 2 smoothly on Wii U haven’t exactly been proven fruitful. Some tests were done, but the results were “not too promising”, according to Andersson.



“Many of the listed games (and others) are indeed coming, but we’re working with Nintendo on the actual release dates and other details. We should have an official release schedule soon – but yes, Wii U is about to get a dose of 16-bit Capcom love. đŸ™‚ “

– Capcom Statement, via Capcom Unity Forums


16-bit love, eh? I guess that means we’ll be seeing some cool Super Nintendo titles hit the Wii U soon! Aside from Super Ghouls n’ Ghosts and Street Fighter II, what more would we want!?
