2K Sports released a patch for NBA 2K13 on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 yesterday. While the Wii U wasn’t included, the console will be receiving its own roster updates and patches.

GameStop has debunked rumors that its Wii U wait list has been cancelled outright. Instead, the retailer has decided to stop taking registrations.

Nintendo has pre-installed a LOVEFiLM Instant app on some European Wii Us. It isn’t clear if every single territory in the contintent will be receiving the functionality, but the channel has been confirmed for Austria thus far.

It should be noted that the actual app isn’t working yet. Presumably it will go live when Europe’s day-one Wii U update is made available.

Satoru Iwata seems like a pretty humble man. According to IGN’s Rich George, who recently interviewed the Nintendo president, Iwata “doesn’t believe in labeling anything Nintendo does a success.”

Why, you ask? It’s short and simple: Iwata doesn’t want to get complacent.

We should be hearing more about this tomorrow…

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, like every other Wii U game out there, will probably have its own community on the system. Other than this, however, the title won’t have any Miiverse functionality.
