What have you always wanted in an open world game? Pig cannons? Rogue Aliens? Well you’re in luck! The latest installment in the LEGO franchise from TT Fusion and the LEGO Company gives you all of that and way more– and I mean WAY more.

People have been waiting for the bigger Wii U titles to come out, but there hasn’t been much to hold us over. Mario and Pikmin are big names but are they unique and deep enough to fill the hole in our hearts? Well, okay, of course!

– Mass Effect series writer Mac Walters

Walters also shared that he believed most players did not have a problem with the ending to Mass Effect 3, but rather a smaller group of very loud individuals took to the internet and caused something of a ruckus about it. I think some folks might disagree with that, but who knows… maybe those folks are part of the minority he’s talking about!?

Sniper Elite V2 is heading to Japan on July 18. 505 Games is publishing the shooter in the west, but Ubisoft picked up the game for release in Japan.

Included in today’s Japanese announcement is a confirmation that Sniper Elite V2 will support off-TV play. When used with the TV, however, the map and weapons are presented on the GamePad, enabling fast switching through the screen.

The original release of Sniper Elite V2 originally featured the online co-op mode known as “Kill Tally”. In the Wii U version, this can be experienced through single-player.
