Following yesterday’s screenshot blast, the first footage of the Ninja Gaiden III’s multiplayer mode has been shown. IGN is currently hosting a live-stream of the game, and we’ve captured the multiplayer segment for your convenience. The stream is still going on (for now) and has now shifted to Ninja Gaiden III’s campaign – you can find it here.

Rumor: Wii U on its fourth/fifth dev kit

The image basically speaks for itself. It comes from a Singaporean government site… and that’s pretty much it! There’s talk that the Wii U is on its fourth development kit at this time, though the image above makes me think that Nintendo has shipped out fifth edition units.

Ubisoft making “AAA MMORPG”, could be for Wii U

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

Ubisoft Quebec is currently looking for new staffers to join a team that is working on a “new AAA MMORPG” title. The studio has previously developed Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands for Wii, TMNT for DS, and a few other games. The Quebec team has provided assistance on the last couple of Assassin’s Creed titles as well.

Here’s the interesting bit for Nintendo fans: it’s possible that the project is in the works for Wii U.

Ubisoft’s Emile Gauthier tweeted the following a few hours ago:

“Ubisoft Quebec is working on a NEW AAA MMORPG Game and we need people to fill these very strategic positions http://lnkd.in/hPMFDf”

If you follow that link, you’ll see that there are a couple of job postings for a AAA Wii U game. The listings were added in today. Could this be the MMORPG Gauthier was referring to?

Rumor: New round of Wii U specs, comes close to Xbox 360

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

Is it time to start up the Wii U rumor mill once again? Perhaps, as someone has published some unconfirmed specs about the console.

Wii U Daily claims to have obtained some information from a developer who has been porting a PlayStation 3 title to Wii U.

The rumored specs are as follows:

– Quad Core, 3 GHz PowerPC-based 45nm CPU
– 768 MB of DRAM “embedded” with the CPU, and shared between CPU and GPU
– Unknown, 40nm ATI-based GPU

Supposedly Nintendo has been testing one console version that includes 768 MB of RAM and another with 1 GB of RAM. The site believes IBM has made the RAM which is embedded within the processor.

Keep in mind that the rumored specs above were from a Wii U kit handed to developers back in March. It’s possible that the console has seen an increase in power since then and may give it a larger edge over the Xbox 360.
