Warner Bros. and 5th Cell are about to enter a legal battle over the use of Keyboard Cat and Nyan Cat in the Scribblenauts games. Both companies are facing a lawsuit filed by the creators of the Internet memes.
Keyboard Cat creator Charles Schmidt and Christopher Orlando Torres, the man behind the Nyan Cat animated GIF, have filed for copyright and trademark infringement.
The complaint states:
Game & Wario hitting Europe on June 28

Game & Wario will be available in Europe on June 28, Nintendo has announced. It’s also on track for a June 23 launch in North America.
In the states, Game & Wario is priced at $40 – $20 less than the average Wii U game. I imagine retailers will be looking to do something similar in Europe.
You can find Europe’s official Game & Wario release date announcement below, which also includes details about the individual games.
Rumor: Retailer says Call of Duty: Ghosts is coming to Wii U
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii U | 0 comments
One retailer source has told ONM that Call of Duty: Ghosts is coming to Wii U.
Activision officially announced Ghosts yesterday. In addition to the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC, the company confirmed that the game is also heading to “next-generation platforms” – which may or may not include Wii U.
When asked if gamers can expect Call of Duty: Ghosts on Wii U, Activision would only say: “We don’t have any news for the Wii U at this time, as we aren’t dating next generation platforms yet. Stay tuned.”

The Wii U is available once again at a relatively cheap price in the UK.
Consumers can now purchase the Basic Pack for £149 or the Premium Pack for £199. The latter is currently out of stock online.
This isn’t the first time that Asda slashed the Wii U’s price. The retailer made a similar move in March, though only dropped each model by £50.
Madden NFL 25 officially skipping Wii U, becomes first Madden to skip Nintendo platforms since 1991
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
EA never confirmed Madden NFL 25 for Wii U when the title was officially announced, but there was hope that it could be happening further down the line. As it turns out, the publisher simply has no plans to bring the latest Madden NFL to Nintendo’s console.
A statement sent out by EA reads:
“We will not be releasing a Wii U version of Madden NFL in 2013. However, we have a strong partnership with Nintendo and will continue to evaluate opportunities for delivering additional Madden NFL products for Nintendo fans in the future.”
Amazingly, Madden NFL 25 marks the first entry to be skipping Nintendo platforms since 1991. EA must have been extremely disappointed with Madden NFL 13’s sales to ditch the system for this year’s release.
Disney Infinity is only similar to Skylanders in that they both have figurines, according to the game’s producer

“And then of course the Toy Box mode is more Minecraft-meets-LittleBigPlanet. It’s something totally different where we allow kids to use their imagination and take our brands to build whatever they want.”
– Disney Interative executive producer John Vignocchi
This is the first I’m hearing about a “Minecraft-meets-LittleBigPlanet” mode, which actually sounds like it could be extremely neat, especially for younger kids. Regarding the similarities to Skylanders, I believe Vignocchi. It doesn’t seem like the two will be especially comparable in terms of gameplay, though I suppose that doesn’t overturn the fact that Disney only made this game because of Skylanders‘ success. It’s definitely a viable business decision!
Activision: No Call of Duty: Ghosts news for Wii U “as we aren’t dating next generation platforms yet”, says “stay tuned”
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
After numerous leaks, Activision finally announced Call of Duty: Ghosts. But the reveal left out the mention of a Wii U version, something that was a bit unexpected.
Activision has since commented directly on the possibility of a Wii U version of Ghosts – cryptically, might we add.
While the statement doesn’t say much, Activision noted that there isn’t news to share “as we aren’t dating next generation platforms yet.” The publisher also teased: “Stay tuned.”
“We don’t have any news for the Wii U at this time, as we aren’t dating next generation platforms yet. Stay tuned.”
That certainly gives off the impression that a Wii U announcement could be coming at a later date. Still, it’s rather annoying that Activision can’t just give us a straight answer immediately.
