UK software sales for Wii U last month were rather abysmal. Just 34,000 games were sold in the territory throughout January. The figure is even more bewildering when you consider that all copies of Nintendo Land – yes, the ones bundled in with the Premium Pack – count towards the total. Wii U maintained a market share of just 1.6% in the UK.

A full listing of UK software totals can be found in the graphic above.

Chilean games retailer “Zmart” lists “Battlefield 4”, “Modern Warfare 4” as coming to Wii U

Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in Rumors, Wii U | 0 comments

The image above shows a supposed “Zmart” listing for Battlefield 4 on Wii U, as noted by the Nintendo Pe Facebook fan page. The source also mentions the store as having the Pikachu 3DS XL available for pre-order with a tentative March date. The only problem? They also list “Zelda Wii U” and “Modern Warfare 4 Wii U” as coming, despite the fact that those are clearly just placeholders.

Is this to be believed? Maybe. For now, we’ll remain skeptical. We won’t know for sure until Activision or EA say something!

Nintendo comments on Scribblenauts Unlimited’s brief appearance on the Wii U eShop

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments

Someone at Nintendo screwed up earlier today. Scribblenauts Unlimited appeared on the European Wii U eShop, despite the fact that the game had just been delayed earlier this week.

Nintendo has since commented on the error. In a statement, the company wrote:

“Scribblenauts Unlimited for Wii U which was recently delayed for Europe was made available today to download on the Nintendo eShop for a short period of time. This title has now been removed from the Nintendo eShop. We are very sorry for any confusion this may have caused and we hope to make further announcements on the European launch of these games very soon.”

At this point, it would be impossible for Ubisoft to ignore the comments it has been receiving regarding its decision to delay Rayman Legends in order to make it multiplatform. Gamers have been vocal on Miiverse, the company’s official Facebook page and forums, and other areas. Heck, fans have even started to create petitions in hopes of getting Rayman out on time.

Ubisoft’s decision is final, but it has responded to the vociferous criticisms and comments. The company said that they “understand your frustration and that you want to get your hands on the game.” Ubisoft is also promising “a new, exclusive demo for the Wii U soon.”

Thanks for all your feedback regarding Rayman Legends in all of its forms. We have heard you and we will continue to listen. We understand your frustration and that you want to get your hands on the game.
We are working with the development team to provide you with a new, exclusive demo for the Wii U soon. Stay tuned for more.
