EA’s popular soccer IP is coming to Wii U. Eurogamer states that FIFA 13 for Nintendo’s upcoming console is being made by a separate team, adding “how exactly it’ll differ from the mainline version remains a mystery.”

Nintendo’s E3 2012 press conference is in 22 days. We’ll finally see which new games are in development, and more details about the console will be revealed.

Rumor: Wii U survey asks about $300 price tag, concept images included

The images above were apparently taken from a recent Wii U GlobalTestMarket survey. Most of the “concept” shots have already been demonstrated in video form, but they’re interesting nonetheless.
Arguably the most important survey capture is the final shot in the gallery, which asks the user if he/she would purchase a Wii U for $300. Maybe it’s a sign of things to come for the console’s final price, assuming the survey is the real deal.

This shouldn’t come as a surprise given the multiplayer nature of Killer Freaks, but it looks like we have a confirmation that Ubisoft’s shooter will include online play.
Senior software engineer Olivier Cado is currently working on the possible Wii U launch title. In his LinkedIn profile, he Cado listed his role as an online/multiplayer programmer.
Surely we’ll receive more details about Killer Freaks during E3 next month.

Avengers: Battle for Earth announced for Wii U

What’s this? An actual new, Wii U game announcement? Yes, it’s true!
Ubisoft Quebec is readying “Avengers: Battle for the Earth” for Wii U and Kinect. A domain name for the title was discovered just a few days ago.
Characters such as Captain America, Iron Man, The Hulk, and Thor will be included. Over 20 characters are being added to the game’s roster.
Avengers: Battle for Earth won’t be related to the recent movie. It’s actually based on the “Secret Invasion” comic series.
Tony Key, Ubisoft’s vice president of sales and marketing, said:
“The idea that we’re making a motion-control version of ‘The Avengers’ is a unique proposition if you compare that to superhero games of the past. This is the perfect type of game for that because these characters are very action oriented. They’re always fighting and throwing things.”
Ubisoft hasn’t provided a release date, but it’s expected to ship after the Wii U arrives.
