Project Cars is coming to Wii U
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 1 Comment
The official website for Project Cars features an image with the Wii U logo. I suppose we can take this as a confirmation that the game will be coming to Nintendo’s new console.
Project Cars is also slated for release on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC in 2013. Slightly Mad Studio, the developer behind the title, previously worked on Need for Speed: Shift and Shift 2: Unleashed.

Rumor: Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing title in the works for Wii U, 3DS
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Rumors, Wii U | 0 comments
An anonymous tipster speaking with The Sonic Stadium claims that Sumo Digital is developing a new Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing game for Wii U, 3DS, and Vita.
This is the second Sonic-related project rumored to be in the works for Wii U. TSSZ News reported last year that SEGA would be bringing Sonic Dimensions to the new console.
A Sumo employee supposedly said the following about the new Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing title:
“Now working on another title for Sega on 3DS, VITA and WiiU. [The] title we are working on is top secret but the last game we did for them was Sonic And Sega All-Star Racing, so the logical conclusion would be… ”
The Sonic Stadium states they have verified the legitamacy of the discussion and the Sumo Digital source.
One would think that this project would have to be Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing 2. The Sumo staffer apparently said that the company won’t be doing any further work on the first game, so a remixed version of the original specifically made for Wii U, 3DS, and Vita is unlikely.

Wii U tidbits: Unannounced Ubisoft card game and more
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
We’ve been in a Wii U news drought for a good seven to eight months now. Chances are we won’t be receiving new, official details about the console until GDC at the earliest. At least we do have some new bits that may tide you over until then!
The information below was collected from various online resumes:
– Ghost Recon Online will be called Ghost Recon Online Arcade
– LEGO City Stories could be a launch title
– Ubisoft Paris is working on a Wii U game, which is probably a Rabbids project
– Someone at THQ is creating a AAA game for Wii U, PS3, and 360; team isn’t specified; Darksiders II or Metro: Last Light are possible, but aren’t confirmed (could be something else entirely)
The most interesting find is that Ubisoft is developing an unannounced card title for Wii U. The news comes from Damien Bernard, a staffer involved with the Black Eyed Peas and Just Dance games. He has also worked on Driver: San Francisco.
Bernard’s LinkedIn profile lists the mystery project. He did confirm that it’s a “Wii U game which we adapted to the card game/board game format.”

Sakurai: Next Smash Bros. games could take a while; “patience will be rewarded”
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 0 comments
Nintendo president Satoru Iwata announced new Smash Bros. games for Wii U and 3DS at E3 2011. This was an unprecedented announcement for the company. Never before have two Smash Bros. projects been developed concurrently, nor has any game in the series graced a handheld system.
Unfortunately, it sounds like it’ll take quite some time before either title is released.
Super Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai indicated in a Nintendo Power interview that he had not yet formed an official team to work on the games. He said that development “may take a while”.
Sakurai told the magazine:
“I can’t really say anything until things settle down with Kid Icarus… And a lot of it will depend on the team that I end up assembling for Smash Bros. It may take a while, but I think that your patience will be rewarded.”
This probably isn’t what Smash Bros. fans would like to hear, but it shouldn’t come as a surprise. Sakurai has previously stated that the sole purpose of revealing the Smash Bros. games last June was to assemble developers for the future.
Thanks to Sondossaan for providing us with this information!
