Online leaderboards could head to Chasing Aurora in an update

When Chasing Aurora releases on Sunday, it won’t come with online leaderboards. But Broken Rules, the game’s developer, says that it is already working on online scores. If Chasing Aurora proves successful, the studio will be open to adding in the feature through an update.
“We’ve started implementing online scores and if the game is any success we’ll add it in an update.
Chasing Aurora also don’t feature online play. Explaining the decision behind this, Broken Rules said:
“Online multiplayer for a fast-paced action game requires either an existing engine (which usually is not available? at the launch of a console because things take time) or a much larger team than we have. The problem is not so much the networking code itself, but integrating match-making, writing stable server code, cheat-prevention. So we focussed on making a game to play together in one room.”

Scott Moffitt says that the Wii U’s deluxe Set is selling extremely well

Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of sales and marketing (and guy-who-sort-of-sounds-like-a-nursery-rhyme-character) Scott Moffitt said that the response to the Wii U deluxe set has been extremely positive, and he thinks it means Nintendo priced it properly:
“All I can say is that the response has been phenomenal and we’re getting, especially in the higher priced deluxe set, that one’s selling out incredibly quickly. That seems to indicate that the pricing’s in a good spot and the proof is in the consumer response.”
He also went on to reiterate that while initial demand seems to be higher than it was for Wii, Nintendo will also have “more systems on hand for the Wii U than we did for the launch of Wii” and that “replenishments will be more frequent this holiday time than during the Wii launch.”
All in all, we can expect some shortages, but nothing on the level of Wii. At least not yet!
