The PC version of Ghost Recon Online will be free to play. That being said, the game will support microtransactions for improved weapons and other items.
The Wii U title will apparently operation in a similar fashion. According to a new report, there will be in-game purchases – players will be able to acquire new content by using “Ghost Coins” purchased with real-world money or through in-game currency.
It’s also worth mentioning that the developers are probably implementing weapon/gear hot-switching between respawns on the Wii U tablet.

SEGA says Sonic is “the right fit” on Wii U, still thinking about the controller
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
One day, we’ll see Sonic on Wii U. It’s inevitable. The franchise did experience a fair amount of success on the Wii, and Sonic started to return to form with Sonic Colors.
Team Sonic boss Takashi Iizuka told Eurogamer that the series “is the right fit because it is that kind of family experience game.” However, SEGA is still thinking about how to “apply using the controller to Sonic”.
Iizuka said:
“The Wii was an extremely successful platform. It was totally global. It went into the families that maybe would not have picked up a home console before. It created that living room experience with families, and it had great success. Now, adding the controller, and in a sense upgrading the Wii, it has got potential to further that and increase its customer base. I feel Sonic is the right fit because it is that kind of family experience game. I do feel Wii U is applicable to Sonic. But how we will apply using the controller to Sonic is something we’re still thinking about at the moment.”
Analyst believes GTA V will ship next March, potential for Wii U launch

Some of the earliest Wii U rumors claimed that Grand Theft Auto V was in development for Wii U. Rockstar hasn’t confirmed platforms for the game yet, so the speculation could turn out to be true.
The new expectation from analyst group Sterne Agee is a March 2013 launch for GTA V, making a Wii U version possible and provides Rockstar with additional development time.
Sterne Agee originally predicted a release just before Christmas.

SEGA’s Iizuka: I think Sonic Dimensions is a hoax
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 0 comments
Remember the rumor about Sonic Dimensions that popped up last year? It suggested that SEGA was making the game for Wii U, and it would be a spiritual successor to Sonic Colors.
Well, for now, we’ll have to throw that rumor out the window. When asked about Sonic Dimensions, SEGA’s Takashi Iizuka said, “Sonic Dimensions? [Laughs] I think it’s a complete hoax. [Laughs]”.
The issue here is that SEGA isn’t in a position to announce/confirm any new Wii U games. Still, this does impact the chances of Sonic Dimensions being real…
