These Wii Fit U testimonials have been on the eShop for a few weeks, and I’ve been meaning to upload them here. They’re not mind-blowing or anything, but they’re little interesting promos Nintendo put together for the game.

PlatinumGames creative producer talks Bayonetta 2 Wii U exclusivity
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 238 Comments
During a presentation held at UCF’s Center for Emerging Media last week, PlatinumGames creative producer JP Kellams shared a few words pertaining to Bayonetta 2’s Wii U exclusivity.
Asked about the challenges in moving between publishers and platforms, Kellams said that the game “would not exist without Nintendo white knighting that project.” In the end, Platinum “really wanted to make Bayonetta 2,” and that’s what mattered most.
Without getting into some stuff that is both business and confidential, the simple question I’d like to ask you is, ‘Do you want to play Bayonetta 2?’ Bayonetta 2 would not exist without Nintendo white knighting that project. So while I totally understand that people want to play it on the platforms that they’ve played it on previously, we really wanted to make Bayonetta 2.

Retro says Wii U is “a powerhouse”, new game has been in the works for a few months
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 33 Comments
Retro Studios president and CEO Michael Kelbaugh commented on several topics while speaking with GameSpot, including the Wii U’s technical capabilities.
According to Kelbaugh, the console is “a powerhouse”, adding, “It’s more than adequate to make great games on.”
“Unfortunately, the perception is that it’s not a very powerful machine. That’s just not true. It’s a powerhouse. It’s more than adequate to make great games on.”
Kelbaugh also mentioned that the Wii U is a “great box to make games on.”
