Nintendo has opened a teaser site for LEGO City: Undercover. You can find it here.

As is always the case with teaser sites, there isn’t much to see at the moment. There are a few screenshots to view and information to read. A full site will launch in the future.

Need for Speed: Most Wanted is coming out a few months later on Wii U, but it sounds like it’ll be worth the wait. Criterion Games is putting in a lot of effort into the game. Most Wanted will feature the best visuals across all of the console releases, and Criterion even added in a few exclusive modes.

This is kind of an anomaly. Thus far, very few third-parties have brought their ‘A game’ to Wii U development.

But Criterion seems to be a believer in what Nintendo is doing with Wii U and feels that its technology is underrated. Below you’ll find comments from various staffers on the team speaking positively about the console.

Resident Evil: Revelations’ console version has a few new elements. Among them are randomized enemy and item locations. Capcom’s Mike Lunn has confirmed the feature to GameSpot, which has been added in in hopes of making Revelations “a little bit more scarier”.

According to Lunn:

“One of the things we’ve really done to make the game a little bit more scarier the more times you play through it is by randomising the position of enemies and items and all that good stuff. So whenever I walk around this corner next time there could be a guy there. You’ll never know.”

Gamasutra is reporting (or should we say tweeting?) that cumulative three-month Wii U sales have fallen 38% versus Wii’s first three months of availability in the US. If true – which it sounds like it is at this point – Nintendo’s new console sold just 55,000 units in the country last month. NPD tracked sales for five weeks this time around as opposed to the typical four, so Wii U moved only 11,000 units per week.

55,000 systems sold isn’t even close to the Wii’s January 2007 performance. Back then, the old console moved 436,000 pieces of hardware.

This news comes hot on the heels of a poor performance in the UK. January Wii U sales were at a measly 34,000 units, according to data collected by Chart-Track.

Ninja Gaiden 3 started out as a PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 game. For the Wii U’s launch, Team Ninja made a new “Razor’s Edge” version. Now that game is going back to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Hopefully that’s not too confusing!

The new release of Razor’s Edge on the PS3 and 360 will include some new content such as additional Ninja Trials and costumes. Fortunately, these items will be coming to the Wii U version for free. An update is due later this month that will bring along 25 Ninja Trials as well as costumes for Ryu, Ayane, Kasumi and Momiji.
