Aliens: Colonial Marines has officially been delayed on Wii U. April has arrived, and as some of you may remember, the game had been scheduled for March.

Meanwhile, SEGA continues to keep quiet regarding the status of Colonial Marines on Wii U. When pressed for an update, a representative said:

“Still no comment on ACM, sorry!”

I really wonder at this point: does anyone even care if the Wii U version of Aliens gets canned?

This week’s GameStop ad has gone live. The full lineup of deals can be found in the circular below:



Along with today’s Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director’s Cut trailer, Square Enix passed along a comprehensive listing of the game’s new elements. It’s quite extensive, covering featuring such as unique GamePad implementation and more.

We’ve posted the full rundown below.

Total Game Immersion
• You ARE Adam Jensen. The GamePad is Jensen’s Neural Hub, one of his implanted augmentations and possibly his most powerful tool.
• The “in-game” menus are now toolkits; they feel like part of the game flow and one of Adam Jensen’s augmentations.
• Tongs’s Rescue mission and the entire Missing Link chapter have been integrated seamlessly into the narrative flow of the Director’s Cut.
• Original pre-order and other bonus weapons are now at Jensen’s disposal.


GameStop may be disappointed in the Wii U’s performance over the past few months, but that doesn’t mean the retailer has given up on Nintendo’s system.

Following GameStop’s latest earnings call, CEO J. Paul Raines chatted with GamesIndustry about a few topics including the Wii U. Raines noted that the company believes “Wii U is a real console that’s been disappointing for a couple months”, though said “there’s more there when the first-party titles come out.”

“This industry has a lot of cynicism and people love to say stuff isn’t going to work, but we think the Wii U is a real console that’s been disappointing for a couple months, but we think there’s more there when the first-party titles come out. Nintendo’s got a few up their sleeve.”
