Time to add Shin’en to the long list of registered Wii U developers! The studio’s website states, “We develop high quality games for WiiU, Nintendo 3DS, Wii, Nintendo DS, Game Boy Advance and Game Boy Color using proprietary tools.”

Shin’en has been a big supporter of Nintendo platforms for more than a decade, so I’m sure they’ll be cooking up some great titles for Wii U.

Nintendo Gamer claims that they’ll have “an exclusive first-look at Assassin’s Creed III Wii U” in its next issue.

But, here’s the thing. The magazine’s previews tend to be hit or miss, and for all we know, this could be nothing more than a roundup of already-provided information. Nintendo also seems to be keeping third-parties quiet about their projects – that’s something else to to keep in mind.

In any case, here’s what the magazine wrote earlier today:

“…you’ll want to check out issue 74 of Nintendo Gamer magazine, which has an exclusive first-look at Assassin’s Creed III Wii U. We’re the only Nintendo magazine in the world to see the game, so you won’t be able to read about it anywhere else. The magazine is on sale 23 March but we’ll have a reminder nearer the time so don’t worry about whipping out your diary to mark that date.”

There haven’t been a whole lot of updates about Ikachan for DSiWare, but Nicalis is still working on the project. Nicalis head Tyrone Rodriguez shares some details in the video above and even shows a tiny bit of blurry footage!

Rodriguez also opened up about the possibility of making an original title, says that they’re wrapping up NightSky for the 3DS, comments on a “small surprise” for the 3DS this summer, and teases a game that will be on the Wii U and 3DS – which could be their first multiplayer title.
