Wii U

Capcom is bringing Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate to the Japanese Wii U eShop next week. The game will be available on December 27 for 4,300 yen.

Of course, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is also being sold as a packaged product.


One retailer in the UK is now selling individual Wii U GamePads. For £89, you can nab an extra controller from Very.

There isn’t much of a reason to own two GamePads at this point. Thus far, only games featuring one controller have been released – heck, there aren’t even any announced titles that will take advantage of two. Such experiences are planned for the future though.

In any case, if you’d really like to have another GamePad at your disposal, you can order one from Very here.

Good news, Wii U Internet browser users: YouTube once again works on the console. Things are working properly once more after roughly a week of downtime. That means you no longer have to use the sluggish, inconvenient app to access video content from the site.


Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata has been interviewing development teams behind the company’s big games for several years now in the well-known “Iwata Asks” columns. Starting with the 3DS, the series has expanded to include third-party studios as well.

Fans should be on the lookout for something completely different tomorrow. Nintendo of America will release a spinoff talk of sorts, called “Reggie Asks”, in which NOA president Reggie Fils-Aime talks with the team behind the upcoming Wii U app Nintendo TVii.

This makes you wonder – will it be a one-time thing or something more? In any case, it should be a fun read.

Nintendo TVii launches tomorrow in North America, but it will be missing a few features.

Today’s press release confirmed that Netflix and TiVo support isn’t set to arrive until early 2013. The app won’t be able to access content from a DVR either.

Nintendo of America’s director of network business, Zach Fountain, told the New York Times that it would like to see this realized, but it first needs to reach deals with companies such as Comcast and/or DirecTV.

“We’d love to have DVR integration but we can’t do that without assistance. We’re in discussions to cover that time-shifting portion.”

Fountain also commented on how Nintendo wishes to deliver “a persistent, consistent experience.”

“We don’t believe you should have to change your app when you change the program. TV shows have apps, networks have apps, sports leagues have apps… We want to create a persistent, consistent experience.”

Reggie adds that Nintendo wants the GamePad to become “the super aggregator and super remote.”
