There are two possible ways to purchase Wii U games such as New Super Mario Bros. U. You can head to your local store and purchase a physical copy, or you can download the game through the eShop.

An alternative method may soon be available to consumers. Best Buy posted a product listing on its website for a digital download version of New Super Mario Bros. U. The listing may be a sign that retailers will soon begin selling downloadable versions of retail Wii U titles.

A few more Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director’s Cut details have emerged.

First up, Deus Ex’s new version will support off-TV play. This is confirmed by French outlet Gameblog and German publication 4Players. Gameblog also writes that a New Game+ is included in Director’s Cut, and it will feature a visually cleaner look than the original PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 release thanks to improved anti-aliasing.

Slightly less clear is Director’s Cut’s Miiverse implementation. There’s talk that you’ll be able to add vocal annotations with the GamePad microphone and share recordings through the social network, though it’s unclear if something was lost in translation.

Aliens: Colonial Marines was supposed to arrive on Wii U in March. So… uh… where is it?

Neither SEGA nor Wii U developer Demiurge are talking. Time is running out with only ten days remaining in March.

When asked about the status of Colonial Marines for Wii U, a SEGA representative said:

“We’re still not commenting on [Aliens: Colonial Marines] at this point. Sorry, I don’t have better news.”

Another representative for Demiurge wasn’t much help either:

“I’m sorry to say that we at Demiurge can’t really comment.”

At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if Aliens was cancelled for Wii U. And it wouldn’t be much of a loss.

The Deep Island: Riptide Wii U saga continues.

Initially, reasons for the game’s non-appearance on Nintendo’s console seemed to be related to the game’s engine. But it was soon clarified that the Wii U could run Riptide’s Chrome Engine just fine, and Deep Silver would need to offer their own comment about the situation.

And now the latest. Deep Silver commented on why it decided against releasing Dead Island: Riptide for Wii U, noting on its Twitter account:

I’m guessing this is all about sales. Deep Silver probably didn’t believe Riptide would perform well on Wii U.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate technically isn’t a new game. While it’s new in the sense of the content it provides, the game is built upon the foundations of the original Wii title.

So what’s new? For those who are unclear, view the infographic below.

Fast & Furious: Showdown was leaked through a listing on EB Games’ Australian website. While we know that it’s on the way, Activision has yet to officially announce the game.

A statement provided to CVG confirms that news is coming soon. The comment reads:

“We will have more details and information in the coming weeks.”

EB Games’ listing hinted at a mid-May launch for Fast & Furious: Showdown. If true, its release is only a couple of months away. Activision should really begin promoting Showdown at this point!

Two of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate’s tools are not yet available through the eShop. The Data Transfer Program, which allows users to move saves between the Wii U and 3DS versions, is missing in action. So is the Packet Relay Tools download that makes 3DS online play possible.

Both are coming very soon, Capcom has said. The company “is working closely with Nintendo to make these available for download as soon as possible and apologize for the delay.”

“The Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate Packet Relay Tools and the Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate Data Transfer Program are not yet live on the Nintendo eShop. Capcom is working closely with Nintendo to make these available for download as soon as possible and apologize for the delay.”
