NetherRealm Studios and Warner Bros. have been strangely quiet when it comes to the Wii U version of Injustice: Gods Among Us. Despite the silence, there’s no reason to be concerned.

Just like the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 editions, the Wii U version is being handled in-house – at NetherRealm – and should be ready to go in April.

There will be lots of GamePad usage, but there won’t be any major additions/changes compared to the other versions.

NetherRealm producer Hector Sanchez told Joystiq:

“We plan on Wii U to come out at the same time as Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions, so we don’t have as much of an enhancement.”

To sum up: the Wii U version isn’t being handled by another studio. It’s coming out on time for the regular launch. And it’ll be just like the PlayStation 3/Xbox 360 game.

You won’t have to worry about the Wii U Pro Controller’s battery. A single charge will last over three days, according to a GameStop listing.

The retailer says that the controller includes “a rechargeable battery that can last up to 80 hours on a single charge.”

Now I’m curious to see how long the GamePad battery goes for. I can’t imagine that lasting 80 hours as well…

Thanks to Jake for the tip.



GameStop shared a new image for Scribblenauts Unlimited today teasing an upcoming trailer with special characters. It’ll be pretty big.

There’s some speculation that the video could feature Nintendo characters. Epona could be on the left, and Princess Peach – based on the crown-shaped silhouette – could be on the right.

Again, that’s all speculation at this point. I do admit that seeing some Nintendo characters in the game would be really neat!

“The reason why we’re not committed to a date on the Wii U version is that no one has been through Nintendo’s approval process on the Wii U. We have no idea how long it will take for the game to go through approval. Disney is not going to be the reason why it will miss [November 18].” – Warren Spector

Well, if Nintendo is listing it as a launch title and the only thing left is Nintendo approving the game… I’d say this is pretty much a shoe-in for launch! Why would Nintendo list it as launch and then choose not to approve it in time for the system!?

Call of Duty: Black Ops II received some big news today. Just like Modern Warfare 3, Call of Duty Elite will work with the game – but it’s completely free this time around.

So that begs the question – will the “first class” experience come to Wii U? Will the console receive “compatibility with the full suite of Elite services, the Season Pass, and individual Map Packs”?

We don’t actually have a concrete answer to this. Activision CEO Eric Hirshberg said that the company is “still working out the details with Nintendo.”

Hirshberg added:

“We certainly want Call of Duty to be a consistent experience across all platforms. But each platform, as you know, has different strengths, which lend themselves to different features. Instead of giving you an incomplete answer today, let us go through that process and come back with a more definitive answer in the near future.”

Hirshberg did note htat Activision is “incredibly pleased with the gameplay and graphic fidelity” of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 on Wii U, and indicated that “those essential elements absolutely qualify it as a ‘first class’ Call of Duty experience.”

But right now, it isn’t clear if Call of Duty Elite is coming to Wii U. How the console will handle Black Ops II’s downloadable content is also up in the air.

Straight Right founder Tom Crago tackled a few questions about making Mass Effect 3 for Wii U, developing for the console, among other topics.

Crago also mentioned that another Wii U project from the studio is bound to be announced soon. Surely this is the mystery Square Enix game, right?

All of Crago’s commentary is below.
