Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in News, Wii U | 0 comments

“I think we have proven that this franchise is relevant, and that it has a long way to go. Our job as developers of this new opus is to surprise players and bringing fresh, different ideas, while at the same time ensuring that what makes AC such a stand-out franchise remains intact.”

“With the scale and scope of the world we are building, the completely new setting, the new gameplay mechanics, and our new characters (both our hero and his supporting cast), we are definitely on track to get the job done and avoid fatigue altogether.”

– AC4 creative director Jean Guesdon

Another very public-relations-driven statement regarding the state of a franchise. Nothing wrong with being safe with your words regarding a game that you want to sell!

Game & Wario will be available in Europe on June 28, Nintendo has announced. It’s also on track for a June 23 launch in North America.

In the states, Game & Wario is priced at $40 – $20 less than the average Wii U game. I imagine retailers will be looking to do something similar in Europe.

You can find Europe’s official Game & Wario release date announcement below, which also includes details about the individual games.

One retailer source has told ONM that Call of Duty: Ghosts is coming to Wii U.

Activision officially announced Ghosts yesterday. In addition to the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC, the company confirmed that the game is also heading to “next-generation platforms” – which may or may not include Wii U.

When asked if gamers can expect Call of Duty: Ghosts on Wii U, Activision would only say: “We don’t have any news for the Wii U at this time, as we aren’t dating next generation platforms yet. Stay tuned.”
