SEGA hasn’t been willing to comment on the status of Aliens: Colonial Marines for Wii U. Neither has Demiurge Studios, the team behind the game on Nintendo’s console.

Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford did offer one terse statement to GameSpot. Well, kind of. I’m not even sure you could call it that. Pitchford himself isn’t quite sure if Colonial Marines will be releasing on Wii U.

He said:

“We’ll see. That’s not our call. I think [developer Demiurge Studios] did amazing work. I think it’s really cool, but Sega’s got to figure that out. We’re doing the best we can.”

HMV cuts the price of Wii U to a ridiculous £199

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

UK retailers have been playing to lower-the-Wii U-price-so-it-will-sell game for over a month now, and since dropping the price of the system by £50 didn’t seem to help, HMV is now slashing it by a total of £140, making the retail price £199.

Oh, and that’s for the Deluxe System. And it comes with ZombiU. So if you’re in the land of HMV and GAME, you better head over to HMV because that is a ridiculously low price for a ridiculously decent piece of hardware.
