Nintendo’s World Hobby Fair ’13 Winter lineup
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Nintendo tends to keep a low profile at the World Hobby Fair. That’s no different this year.
Two games will be playable during the four different Japanese events in January and February. New Super Mario Bros. U and Mario Chase from Nintendo Land will both be available at the Big N’s booth.
A look at the Wii U GamePad’s region-locking in action

Yes, it’s true – along with the Wii U console itself, GamePads are region-locked. It’s possible to pair a controller from one country to a system purchased in another territory, but you won’t ever get the thing functioning. Everything comes to a halt once the GamePad attempts to perform an update.

Keyboard support in consideration for Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
The Wii U version of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate doesn’t feature keyboard support. It’s possible to use an on-screen HUD, but you can’t plug in a USB device and type away.
This could change in the future. At Jump Festa 2013 this past weekend, some of the game’s staffers hinted that Ultimate could be getting keyboard down the line. It’d be rather nice to have this feature available through an update by the time the localized version hits store shelves.
