It’s possible to play Wii U titles around your house thanks to the GamePad, but at its core, the Wii U is a home console. But that hasn’t stopped MaxBuy from making the hardware somewhat portable.

By using the company’s peripheral, it is possible to play the Wii U in a car. Users plug the hardware into the cigarette slot in order to power the Wii U… and that’s it, basically. You can’t play games that require the television – only off-TV titles are supported – but it’s a neat little device nonetheless.

You can get all four upcoming DLC characters for £11.99 (~$15), or buy each individual one for £3.99 (~$5) as they roll out over the coming weeks and months. This, unfortunately, has not been confirmed for the Wii U version yet so we’re still waiting to hear if it’s relevant or not.

Ubisoft is scheduled to launch the free Rayman Legends Challenges App on the Wii U eShop later this month. The exclusive download is Ubisoft’s way of showing their thanks to fans for their patience in waiting for the full game’s arrival.

The Challenges App will offer Wii U owners the following, according to lead game designer Emile Morel:

• a crazy run in Land of the Livid Dead.
• a journey in the vertiginous Neverending Pit.
• a climb of the Infinite Tower as fast as possible.
• Murfy’s Dungeon, a challenge dedicated to the Wii U GamePad where you play as Murfy on the touch screen.

Players will be able to partake in daily and weekly challenges “to compete with your friends and players from all around the world” through the online Challenge Mode. New and exclusive levels will be generated each day and every week, and the app will be supported up through the launch of the full game.

Morel told Nintendo Life that “The Rayman dev team will provide some exclusive tips and tricks for Wii U owners on Miiverse and on Facebook” and there are plans to “organize contests between our fans and the Rayman dev team.”

A second series of Pokemon Rumble U figures have been revealed: Eevee, Mewtwo, Croagunk, Zoroark, Litwick and Genesect. Each will be available on May 25.

Players will be able to use IC cards – Japanese train passes, basically – to unlock a one-use Pokemon for use in a tough situation. You scan the cards on the GamePad just like the figures.

Pikachu, Snivy, Tepig and Oshawott are Pokemon Rumble U’s initial selection to choose from. You’ll be stopped by other Pokemon on the way back to the shop including legends.
