Fist of the North Star: Ken’s Rage 2 is expected to hit Japanese on January 31. The game will be released one month earlier – on December 20 – for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Like the PS3/360 release, Ken’s Rage 2 costs 7,800 yen on Wii U, and 8,190 yen with tax.


From the moment it was announced, ZombiU has been considered a title for the hardcore audience. That doesn’t mean less-experienced gamers won’t be able to enjoy the experience, however.

Ubisoft content design director Bogdan Bridinel feels that the Wii U’s asymmetric gameplay, which is something never realized before the system was introduced, will deliver “an experience that can be shared between a serious, hardcore gamer and a more casual friend, without the latter being completely outmatched.”

Bridinel explained to ONM:

“Asymmetric multiplayer hasn’t been explored very much by developers, so it enables us to create experiences that you’ve never had before. For ZombiU, specifically, it has enabled us to create an experience that can be shared between a serious, hardcore gamer and a more casual friend, without the latter being completely outmatched. Unlike the survivor gameplay, which is a traditional first-person experience, the ‘King Of Zombies’ gameplay has a more relaxed pace and is more about overall strategy than gamer reflexes honed over years, so it’s more immediately accessible. It creates a gateway for new players to get into the game before they acquire the courage to face the infected hordes face to face.”

You better pay close attention when transferring content over from the Wii to Wii U. That’s because the process is a one-way process. Once content is sent over to the Wii U, it can’t ever go back to Wii.
