Bethesda not saying if Wolfenstein: The New Order is coming to Wii U
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
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:
@crecenteb @polygon we (intentionally) aren’t being specific on what platforms “next-gen” covers. Stay tuned.
— Pete Hines (@DCDeacon) May 7, 2013
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.
Injustice: Gods Among Us DLC looking unlikely for Wii U
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
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.

Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag scriptwriter talks story, says Edward is “raucous and bawdy”

– 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 tech director says Frostbite 3 never ran on Wii U, Frostbite 2 test results were “not too promising”
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
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.
@mutedpenguin FB3 has never been running on WiiU. We did some tests with not too promising results with FB2 & chose not to go down that path

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!?
