Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate doesn’t run at 60 frames-per-second on Wii U. In actuality, it maintains an average of 38 FPS.

An analysis done by one Japanese blog indicates that Ultimate experienced a minimum frame rate of 32 FPS. The maximum FPS came in at 47 FPS. MH3 Ultimate doesn’t appear to suffer from any screen-tearing.

Nintendo implemented a region-lock on the Wii U console. As a result, titles purchased in North America won’t work on a system in other countries (and the same goes for other territories).

The region-lock seems to goes beyond this. It appears that GamePad controllers are also locked to their country of origin.

News floating around Japanese blogs indicates that a GamePad purchased overseas won’t work on a Japanese Wii U. This is almost certainly the case for other territories as well.

It’s worth noting that all GamePads contain region codes in the model number. That should be the key when it comes to determining if a controller will work in a certain territory.

Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge players can now download a new character to their game. Kasumi is now available through a free update.

You don’t need to do anything special in order to add Kasumi to the game. Simply boot up Razor’s Edge and data should be automatically downloaded.

Trine 2: Director’s Cut’s update has been pushed back slightly. It’s now on track for a release in early January.

When the update is approved, it will go live in North America and Europe at around the same time. Europe may get the update a couple of days earlier though.

According to Frozenbyte’s Joel Kinnunen:

“It’s being tested by Nintendo. Right now the holiday period doesn’t help though – we were hoping to get it approved and released by Friday but alas, looks like it has to wait until early January now. (Pretty much the same goes for North America, although we did make one mistake with that build so it might be a couple of days later than Europe – but this isn’t exact science so who knows.) Sorry!”
