There’s a mix of good and bad news to report on regarding The Pinball Arcade.

First, the game isn’t coming to Wii. It’s not going to happen because of technical issues. And let’s face it: at this point, it’d be pointless to bring it to the console.

Developer FarSight Studios was able to confirm a Wii U version, however. The developer hopes to finish the game up “as close to the launch of the platform as possible.”

As was written on Facebook:

“FarSight developed 12 titles for the Wii. Unfortunately, the Wii isn’t powerful enough to run Pinball Arcade. We are very excited about the Wii-U and hope to release as close to the launch of the platform as possible.”

The Pinball Arcade was also being developed for the 3DS, but it’s been placed on the back burner.

FarSight Studios explained:

“We have a plan to get the performance we need out of the 3DS to run the ROM emulation, however some R&D is needed before we know for sure whether it will work. The 3DS version is on hold until we can invest the time and resources into this R&D.”

The developer behind the Driver IP is apparently working on a project for Wii U. Associate producer Luis Cascante listed an unannounced title for Nintendo’s next console on his LinkedIn profile. It seems as though it could be released this year.

Cascante didn’t specifically indicate that his new game is being made by Ubisoft Reflections, but it is definitely being made by one of Ubisoft’s subsidiaries. It looks like we can count on another Wii U announcement from the company at E3…

Is Wii U a next-gen system? That’s what some people have been debating. One group will say no, while another will say yes. It doesn’t help that there are developers out there who are labeling the console as a stop gap in-between generations.

However, EA Sports general manager of football Cam Weber ultimately believes that the Wii U is a true next-gen system.

When Weber was asked by Game Informer if he really sees the system as a next-gen platform, he said:

“Absolutely. It’s a [new] platform with a new controller input, so we’ll do everything we can to deliver an experience that will take advantage of the hardware for that consumer.”

SEGA has an unannounced project in the works for Wii U. Based on a LinkedIn entry, it looks like the game will be a downloadable release.

SEGA of America associate producer Matthew Hickman included a listing for an “unannounced title” in his online profile. In addition to Wii U, it’s in development for the PlayStation Network, Xbox Live Arcade, and PC. As many of you know, PSN/XBLA are virtual platforms, so this new project will probably appear on the Wii U’s digital store.

Much like the 3DS cradle, it appears that Nintendo could be working on something similar for the Wii U. The console’s tablet would be placed on the accessory, and may provide power to the rechargeable controller.

Might this be bundled in with all Wii U units?
