Ubisoft planning Rabbids Land, ZombiU, and Your Shape for Wii U launch

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments

So I just logged into Ubisoft’s press site, and it seems to show which Wii U games we can expect at launch.

Rabbids Land, ZombiU, and Your Shape: Fitness Evolved 2013 will apparently be available on day one. Assassin’s Creed III is listed for October 2012, but I believe that’s temporary… unless the Wii U is actually coming out that month. Rayman Legends appears to be a 2013 title.

Nintendo denies Wii U, 3DS rumors

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 0 comments

Nintendo has prepared an official, corporate statement regarding Nikkei’s report that surfaced a few hours ago, noting that there isn’t any truth to the rumors. The site claimed that a new 3DS model would be introduced and non-game distribution contents for Wii U would be revealed.

However, Nintendo’s statement essentially said “that the Nikkei report is not based off things announced by Nintendo, is full of mistakes and is nothing more than conjecture from the paper’s publisher”, as reported by Andriasang.

We’ll see what happens over the next 24-48 hours.

Ubisoft®’s Infectious ZombiUTM Coming Exclusively to Nintendo’s Wii UTM
Survival-Horror Shooter Showcases Nintendo Wii UTM GamePad, Delivers Intense and Terrifying New Gaming Experience
LOS ANGELES — June 4, 2012 — Today, at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), Ubisoft challenged gamers to find out how long they can survive in the dilapidated, infected world of ZombiU – a new survival-horror shooter that will be released exclusively for Nintendo’s Wii UTM. ZombiU headlines a group of eight titles from Ubisoft that will be available for the Nintendo Wii UTM.
Developed by Ubisoft Montpellier, the studio behind critically acclaimed titles like From DustTM, Beyond Good & Evil® and Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter®, ZombiU puts players in the middle of London circa 2012, where an outbreak has infected the population, destroying their humanity and turning them into mindless monsters preying on the flesh of the few remaining survivors. This fear-fueled first-person shooter takes all the terror, chaos and tension found in the best of the horror genre and adds original interactive elements, including a unique death mechanic that puts players in the body of a different survivor each time they die, allowing them to track and take down their old, infected characters, recover their equipment and see if they can stay alive just a little bit longer this time.
