Well folks, this is the end of the line. Nintendo Power’s final issue is out that door and has started to reach subscribers. The magazine picks their all-time favorite games and looks back on Nintendo Power’s history. There are reviews of the first wave of Wii U titles as well.

Since going online, the Dark Souls II Wii U petition has topped 10,000 signatures. The current total stands at nearly 12,000.

Even with the support thus far, I have a feeling that Namco Bandai won’t be rushing to begin development of Dark Souls II for Wii U…

ZombiU producer Guillaume Brunier has said that the development team wanted “to be the first to offer a core gaming experience with the Wii U Gamepad.”

Here’s his quote in full:

“We wanted to be the first to offer a core gaming experience with the Wii U Gamepad. You can call it experimental, you can call us crazy but that’s what we wanted to do.”

I can’t think of any core Wii U launch that takes advantage of the GamePad like ZombiU. I suppose the team was successful then!

Announced back at New York Comic Con, The Amazing Spider-Man: Ultimate Edition is supposed to be heading to Wii U sometime in the future. Now, we may have a more solid release window, courtesy of Amazon. The online retailer lists the game as available for pre-order, and says it ships in March of 2013, which would put it within the Wii U’s gigantic “launch window” laid out by Nintendo.

I’d guess this is true just based on the fact that any later and it’ll lose relevance among the necessary crowds, but who knows– Amazon has been wrong before!

Famitsu readers were asked this week what they would want to get as a holiday gift, and many of the responses (understandably, given Famitsu’s audience) were related to video games:

“For a friend, I’d like to get Borderlands 2. We could play co-op over New Years!” – 18 year-old male high school student

“I think Animal Crossing: New Leaf would be perfect as a gift for a friend who doesn’t play video games very much, since it lets you play casually at your own pace. I want to enjoy the village life together. Plus the characters are so cute!” – 33 year-old female part-time worker

“I want to give the Resident Evil series! Playing together with a romantic partner would be more exciting than watching a horror movie.” – 25 year-old self-employed male

“I think for this season, the Wii U is a no-brainer. It’s just been released and now’s the time when it’ll be the hottest item.” – 25 year-old male company worker

“The Nintendo 3DS is perfect since it has a lot of games with network play. It’d be a lot of fun to play with the person you give it to!” – 16 year-old male high school student

“My husband is a huge fan of the Yakuza series, so I’m sure he’d love it if I gave him Yakuza 5.” – 40 year-old self-employed female.

“I’m giving my girlfriend a PlayStation 3, since she doesn’t have one. Now’s a good time since the price has dropped.” – 36 year-old male company worker

“I’m giving a PlayStation network card to buy downloadable games with. The software lineup has gotten bigger and that way they can choose whatever they want.” – 24 year-old male part-time worker

Sounds like games are the way to go for a lot of folks in Japan! I wonder if the same holds true in the states… probably not!

Masahiro Sakurai is keeping quiet on the next Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS. In a Famitsu column, he told fans that they’ll have to “wait a while longer.” He’s been thinking about cutting down on his tweets “and start putting in a real effort here.” He thinks it’d be best “if I could be forgotten about by gamers for awhile.”

Sakurai also talked about how his tweets tend to result in speculation about the new Smash Bros., talked about Fox’s inclusion in past games, and more.

Read on below for Sakurai’s comments.
