Possible LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes Wii U date, pre-orders open
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Update: Joystiq has been in touch with GameStop and it looks like the May 21 listing is the real deal. And DC Super Heroes is actually arriving on the console this spring – not summer – so you can pretty much lock-in the aforementioned date.
LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes is supposed to be hitting the Wii U this summer. Amazon is listing a release date of May 21, which is plausible, but could be temporary since summer won’t begin until mid/late-June.
The retailer is also taking pre-orders for the game. You can reserve LEGO Batman 2 for Wii U here
. It can currently be pre-ordered for $39.99, a price that Amazon says is $10 off.

Miyamoto: More people will understand Wii U’s purpose as they get more familiar
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
The Wii U hasn’t managed to catch on like the Wii. Nintendo’s last console had a simple premise: pick up the controller, swing away, and you’ll be good to go. Unlike the Wii remote, the GamePad is a much more complex device.
So while there may be skepticism surrounding the Wii U, Shigeru Miyamoto believes that people will begin to understand its purpose more as they familiarize themselves with what it has to offer.
He told CNN:
“There was a period when we first released the Nintendo DS that people would say there’s no way people can look at two screens at once. I almost feel like, as people get more familiar with Wii U and these touchscreen interfaces, that there is going to come a point where they feel like ‘I can’t do everything I want to do if I don’t have a second screen’.”
Miyamoto continued, discussing the Wii U’s wide array of functions:
“I feel a device like Wii U, with its ability to continue to offer new features and that network connection and the connection to the TV and the interface, really makes it feel that it’s more than just a game machine, but something that offers a lot of practical use and practical purpose in the living room. I look at it as being a very useful device that can do many different things and therefore really seems to be the device that’s ideal to have in the living room.”
SEGA has “fantastic developments” in store for Wii U
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
With Aliens: Colonial Marines’ Wii U cancellation, SEGA has no new games on the way for the platform… so it would seem. But not so fast! The company tried softening today’s news “blow” with a tease that it has “some fantastic developments for Wii U in the pipeline”. SEGA didn’t specify when it would be making any announcements.
A statement from SEGA reads:
“We are constantly looking at all areas of our business and in this case have made the decision to not continue development of the Wii U version. Rest assured that we have some fantastic developments for Wii U in the pipeline which we will announce at a later date.”
When it comes to Aliens: Colonial Marines, I can imagine that SEGA believed that publishing a new version of the game wouldn’t be viable at this point. It’s just not a good product, and it would have very likely bombed on Wii U.
Tales producer says Wii U is “brilliant”, but no plans for the console
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Namco Bandai came right out of the gate with a Tales game for the 3DS when it launched. The same can’t be said about Nintendo’s new console, the Wii U.
While series producer Hideo Baba appreciates the system – calling it “brilliant” – he told Kotaku that Namco Bandai and the Tales team “don’t have any development plans to make any Tales of games for the Wii U.”
Baba said:
“I think the Wii U is a brilliant console that offers a lot of innovation and possibility for new types of gameplay. However at this current time we don’t have any development plans to make any Tales of games for the Wii U.”
Namco Bandai did release two Tales games on the Wii’s successor: Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World and Tales of Graces. The latter never launched overseas, but it eventually received an upgrade on the PS3 under the new name Tales of Graces F. It released in both North America and Europe last year.
