James Anderson, a programmer over at Intelligent Systems, is listing a mysterious game for Nintendo’s new console on his LinkedIn profile.

On his CV, Anderson mentions that he’s “currently working on an unannounced title for the Wii U, as well as providing tools support for other internal teams.” There’s speculation that some of his responsibilities could be related to Wii Sports Club, though that’s far from confirmed.

Anderson most recently worked on Paper Mario: Sticker Star and Game & Wario.

Emily Rogers has returned with another rumor regarding the Wii U’s upcoming update.

A tweet Rogers published a short while ago states that the firmware is going live sometime this week, perhaps as early as Monday.

The tweet reads:

The Wii U’s next update is the second of two major firmware upgrades for the console. Nintendo hasn’t said what will be included, but the system’s speed (loading times and associated elements) should be improved.

Not many people own this particular version of Need for Speed: Most Wanted, but I must give it my recommendation if you willing to take the time to learn it; it’s pretty darn good as an arcade-y racer. The glitches I cannot be quite as positive about, but I think we had some good fun here either which way! Enjoy. :]
