The WWE franchise won’t be coming to Wii U this year. Creative director Cory Ledesma gave a simple “no” when asked if WWE ’13 is in development for Nintendo’s new console.

While that is disappointing for wrestling fans, we at least know that WWE ’13 is on its way to the Wii. It’ll be released alongside the PlayStation 3/Xbox 360 versions on October 30.

Other than Mass Effect 3 and sports promises, EA doesn’t have too much in store for Wii U – well, as far as we know. But EA chief operating officer Peter Moore, speaking during the company’s first quarter earnings call today, said “We’re keeping a very close eye on the platform.”

Regarding the partially “lackluster response” coming out of E3, Moore stated that EA now understands to “never underestimate Nintendo, as proven by the last generation.”

Moore wasn’t ready to announce anything new for Wii U today. Having said that, he believes that EA has “great franchises poised to be on that platform. He added, “We’ll probably announce more in the future.”

AckkStudios is currently working on the indie title “Two Brothers” for PC. It’s an “Action/Adventure/Role-playing/Nostalgia” title with Game Boy-like visuals, which would make it a good fit on something on the eShop.

But rather than bringing the game over to the 3DS or Wii U, creator Brian Allanson has said that he’d rather develop an original project for a Nintendo console. He wouldn’t rule out the possibility of a port though.

According to Allanson:

“I would never rule out the possibilities of porting the game to a Nintendo console, but I think I would rather create another game designed for those systems strengths.”

A new interview with Nintendo UK marketing manager Ben Taylor has popped up online.

Taylor talked all about the 3DS XL, including why it was decided not to include a second Circle Pad. He also commented on the 3DS’ strong sales in Japan, said that those who say the system lacks core titles os a misconception, and once again relayed that you won’t see Mario – or any other Nintendo games – on other platforms like iTunes.

Head past the break for all of Taylor’s responses.
