Wii U

For those unaware (like I was until this morning!), Nintendo used to host something they called “Nintendo Games Seminar” at the University of Japan where they would help and encourage aspiring game developers to make games of higher quality with a higher success rate. It was a way for Nintendo to not only influence the direction that young developers would take with their careers, but also to find new talent to hire when the seminar was over. Now, they’re restarting the program:

– Seminar will run from July 2013 to March 2014
– Must be an under/post-graduate student at a University in or around Tokyo or Osaka
– 12 participants per location (Tokyo/Osaka)
– Choose between programming, graphic design, or sound
– Seminar will focus on developing games with Nintendo’s “Web Framework”
– More details on May 13th

The latest issue of Dengeki PlayStation contains a promotion for its upcoming Nintendo sister publication. On April 20, the first ever edition of Dengeki Nintendo will be published. Included in the ad is a teaser indicating that GungHo’s Puzzle and Dragons will be coming to a Nintendo platform.

News has since leaked that the series is heading to the 3DS – specifically Puzzle & Dragons Z. We don’t have the specifics just yet, but I imagine that we’ll be hearing something more concrete soon.


We just mentioned a couple of days ago that Batman: Arkham Origins and Origins Blackgate pre-orders have opened at all major retailers. Today, Amazon has thrown in an extra bonus with reservations.

Those who pre-order either the console title or handheld entry will receive $10 in credit. You can find a link to all SKUs here.

Other Amazon deals include the Wii Classic Controller Pro – White for $12.10 and Kingdom Hearts 3D for $19.99. Amazon also price-matched GameStop’s $10 discount for Naruto Powerful Shippuden.


Capcom is planning four downloadable content packs for Resident Evil: Revelations HD. The company is also planning on making a season pass available, though it’s unclear if this item is coming to Wii U.

Keep your eyes peeled for official information regarding Revelations’ DLC. We’ll also be sure to let you know if Capcom confirms the game’s season pass for Wii U.

For whatever reason, Warner Bros. and NetherRealm have been keeping quiet about Wii U-specific Injustice: Gods Among Us features.

We do know that the game will support a couple of unique elements. First, off-TV play is in fact supported. Players will also be able to take advantage of a quick moves list directly on the GamePad if the TV is being used.

I haven’t been putting much of an emphasis on Disney Planes since I just don’t see it turning out well. It was covered in Nintendo’s Wii U third-party PR that was put out earlier today. Still, you can find a few screenshots below along with the official fact sheet.
