This week’s ESRB updates are as follows:

Mega Man 4 (3DS) – E
Resident Evil: Revelations (Wii U) – M
Fast & Furious: Showdown (3DS) – T
The Smurfs 2 (Wii U) – T

Interesting Fast & Furious rating there… I suppose Showdown will be coming to the 3DS as well.

When asked about the possibility of Unreal Engine 4 support for Wii U during a recent Q&A session, Epic’s Mark Rein seemingly laughed at the question – as did the entire room of journalists. But on Twitter, Rein said that he wasn’t laughing at the system. Rather, he thought it was silly how the original question didn’t include the PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 as well.

Nintendo will be improving the Wii U’s load times in April, including the time it takes to boot out of a game and return to the home menu. The company recently released a video highlighting the improvement, so one Japanese gamer decided to create a video and see how it stacks up to the PlayStation 3. Take a look below:


Wii U and other current-gen platforms can’t run Unreal Engine 4 in its original state. However, Epic Games’ co-founder Mark Rein has now clarified that it is technically possible to release games supported by the tech on older systems.

Rein told Engadget:

“You heard the stupid gaffe yesterday about the Wii U. If someone wants to take Unreal Engine 4 and ship a game on Wii U, they can! If they wanna ship an Unreal Engine 4 game on Xbox 360, they could make it happen.”

The point is that even though Unreal Engine 4 can’t run directly on Wii U, games could be brought to the system even though the visuals would be a bit worse. That’s because Epic’s technology is scalable.
