Wii U

– Play-calling entirely on the gamepad
– See basic formations, sets within them, plays to choose from
– “if you want to change from singleback to shotgun, all you have to do is press “shotgun”; no need to repeatedly tap the B or circle button to back all the way out.”
– It’s “all about speed”
– Gamepad displays a realtime view of line of scrimmage
– Use the touchscreen to redraw the play entirely if you want
– No longer restricted to preset hot routes
– Change defensive, pre-snap formations, zones, and routes
– Play the entire game on the tablet controller if you want

Nintendo of Europe provided an official photo of the European ZombiU Wii U bundle. Consumers in the continent will be able to purchase the product at launch.



In the ZombiU trailer we posted today, the final image of the video indicates that the game will be launching on November 13. That’s a bit odd given that the Wii U won’t be out until November 18.

I suppose this doesn’t matter too much. You will, after all, need a Wii U in order to play ZombiU. But it is definitely interesting that Ubisoft could be shipping the first title before the system hits store shelves.

Thanks to Einstein for the tip.


Capcom showed the first footage of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate Wii U during a live-stream event at New York Comic 2012 today. Take a look at the video above for a capture of the stream.

* Video should be live in a minute or two.



I actually didn’t think SEGA would be producing Special/Limited Edition versions of Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed on the Wii U/3DS, but I guess I was wrong!


Just to be clear, that’s NEXT week’s ‘X-Factor’ on October 17th…

“We know there is a demand out there for a new console format, and this is a new generation of console. Maybe at E3 2011 we didn’t make that clear enough – it really is a new box as well as that innovative controller. It offers many different things. We’re making sure to communicate that angle in the marketing, and the campaign will seem fresh and slightly different. Although there are clear elements that say ‘this is from the people behind Wii’ to maintain some continuity.” – Nintendo UK marketing and PR director Shelly Pearce

Well, looks like we might be stuck watching the X-Factor if we’re looking to get a first glimpse of Wii U’s television advertising campaign! It’s coming a little late in my opinion, but I guess Nintendo figured that people would get annoyed/bored by a flurry of ads if they ran them for more than a month.

Still, was I the only one who really enjoyed seeing those Wii ads when they were around!?
