A unique opportunity was presented with the western press a few days ago. Satoru Iwata stopped by Nintendo of America’s offices in Redwood City as New Super Mario Bros. 2 approaches its launch in the states.
Aside from Iwata giving some hope regarding the overseas status of EarthBound/Mother, he mostly talked about the Mario franchise. He discussed the innate appeal of Mario’s side-scrollers, explained how New Super Mario Bros. 2 and U will be different games, Nintendo’s stance on downloadable content, and more.
Head past the break for Iwata’s comments.

Ubisoft: ZombiU is “very hard”
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
ZombiU will be far from a walk in the park. Ubisoft Monpellier’s international product manager Nicolai Bouchai says that the team would like to “target and challenge the gamers”.
“We really want to target and challenge the gamers with ZombiU because this game is very hard. So for example when you finish the game you will unlock a new mode called Survival Mode. You will have to finish the game with only one life and only one character.”
Bouchet believes that a large percentage of Wii U launch buyers will consist of core players. As such, Ubisoft is making an experience that appeals to this group.
“We know there are a lot of gamers expecting a lot with the Wii U, so that’s why we want to deliver this experience and dedicate it to the gamers.”
Call of Duty: Black Ops II QA tester lists Wii U on LinkedIn profile
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
A new discovery strongly suggests that Call of Duty: Black Ops II is in the works for Wii U.
Randall Herman is currently occupied with the Treyarch new shooter as a QA tester. Interestingly, his LinkedIn profile clearly mentions the Wii U as one of the platforms he’s working with.
Below is the noteworthy blurb in full:
“QA tester for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. Duties include QA testing on PS3 and Wii U, multiplayer testing while collaborating with team, ad hoc testing, and regression. Bug writing, research, and documentation are performed with each issue that is found.”
There have been a number of hints that Call of Duty: Black Ops II is in development for Wii U, but Activision still hasn’t announced anything officially. This is one of the strongest pieces of evidence we’ve seen yet indicating that the title will be released on the new console.

SiNG, a casual Wii U title announced at E3, appears to be getting a small name change. Nintendo registered a new US trademark for “Sing Party” on August 10. It’s not a huge update, but we’ll take any Wii U news we can get.

ONM says “good stuff” for Wii U is “just around the corner”
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 0 comments
Gamescom 2012 was a decent-sized meal for Wii U fans. We received some new assets from games such as Rayman Legends, but, as expected, third-parties didn’t make any new title announcements.
However, Official Nintendo Magazine editor-in-chief Chandra Nair told Nintendo fans on Twitter a couple of days ago that there is “good stuff” on the way. Given the fact that Nair referenced Ubisoft, it seems that his tease applies to the Wii U rather than the 3DS.
He wrote:
“Keep the faith nintendo fans. You won’t see much at gamescom other than ubi updates but the good stuff IS just around the corner …frustrating for me too but there is stuff coming soon.”
