I haven’t been putting much of an emphasis on Disney Planes since I just don’t see it turning out well. It was covered in Nintendo’s Wii U third-party PR that was put out earlier today. Still, you can find a few screenshots below along with the official fact sheet.

Ubisoft has announced that it will be releasing The Smurfs 2 on the Wii U, Wii, and DS. It’s kind of strange seeing that there isn’t a 3DS SKU, but it is what it is! You can find the game’s first trailer below.

Just as with any licensing agreement, there comes a time when a certain content distributor is o longer legally allowed to sell the content they licensed from a particular third party. Such a day has come for Rock Band creator Harmonix, as they will be yanking the much-loved ‘Metallica’ from their store– or at least, one pack of their songs that was released for players to download.

“Metallica Pack 01” (including such hits as ‘Ride the Lightning’ and ‘Blackened’) is now unavailable from the console-accessed ‘Rock Band Music Store’, and soon it will also be removed from first-party marketplaces as well. More songs will likely follow suit going into the next few months or years, but Harmonix says they’re looking to extend an “overwhelming majority” of content licenses they have to minimize the legalese’ effect on their customers.

As you can see above, this survey sent out by Nintendo’s customer service asks whether or not folks would buy first party Wii Remote charger packs from the Big N, and, subsequently, if they would pay $40 for a single battery pack, charging cradle, and other accessories. The most interesting bit of the survey is that they’re touting a potential 13 hours of use after just 90 minutes of charging, which is something I would love to have!

I’m not sure if I’d pay $40 for just one battery pack though, even if it did come with the cradle, cases, etc. I’d need at least two with the purchase…

Hey, it’s the return of R.O.B. the robot! Okay, not quite, but Nintendo did submit an interesting patent related to a “remotely controlled mobile device control system.”

At the heart of the patent, Nintendo would be able to include a Wiimote-like controller inside a “remote controlled toy”. The device could then be paired with a console for new kinds of functionality.

Patents often don’t see the light of day, so this could be nothing more than an idea from Nintendo. It’s intriguing nonetheless!
