Even though Nicalis cancelled its publishing arrangements for the WiiWare version of La-Mulana, the game could still be heading to Europe.

An updated entry was discovered on the European ratings board PEGI, though it has since been removed. Prior to its removal, EnjoyUp was listed as the new publisher for La-Mulana WiiWare.

EnjoyUp responded with a standard “no comment” statement when asked about the situation. Sounds like something could be brewing here…

Today’s Nintendo Direct has become a worldwide affair. It’s now confirmed that a unique presentation will be held in Japan, North America, and Europe.

The Japanese presentation begins at 11:00 PM EDT – more information about that here. An hour later, the North American and European events will be shown.

That’s kind of a problem as it’s not easy to watch two events at once! But don’t worry: we’ll be here to cover everything as it happens.

You’ll be able to watch the North American Nintendo Direct here.

Two Nintendo Directs in the same month?! Indeed, it’s happening, in Japan at least!

Unlike the last, “special” broadcast, the latest event will focus only on 3DS and Wii information. Sorry, no Wii U updates for you!

A live-stream will be available at 11:00 PM EDT / 8:00 PM PDT tomorrow. We’ll post a live-stream on the site once its ready to go.

You can follow the Japanese Nintendo Direct page here.

With the Japanese Wii release of Dragon Quest X drawing near, Square Enix has been sending out details about the game at a rampant pace. Even more information was shared today.

Square Enix handed out a new dose of screenshots and details concerning Dragon Quest X’s battle system. We’ve rounded up the information below.

– Six basic jobs in Dragon Quest X
– Each job has special abilities
– Use these abilities in battle
– Warriors are best with direct attacks and should protect mages and monks
– Warriors can use Souten Mazan
– This move paralyzes the enemy
– Freeze Blade and Gigaslash can also be used
– Thieves are at their best when switching between attack and defense
– Additionally, thieves can use a steal command to take enemy gold and items
– Thieves can use Tiger Claw and Banana Drop moves
– Banana Drop: character drops a banana on the ground to lure the enemy
– Enemy will slip on the banana and will become temporarily immobile
– Mages are at their best when allies stand in front and stop enemy attacks
– They should cast spells from afar

Thanks to 4Him for the tip.

Disney’s “Wreck-It Ralph” video game tie-in could be exclusive to Nintendo platforms.

GameFly is only listing versions for the Wii, 3DS, and DS. Activision is included as the publisher, though that tidbit is questionable. A release could be planned for October 30.

Wreck-It Ralph is an animated film featuring Ralph, a villain from the arcade game “Fix-It Felix Jr”. After determining that he’d like to turn over a new leaf, Ralph begins a journey to ditch his malevolent ways and ventures into new worlds.

The movie’s debut trailer showed a number of classic video game characters such as Dr. Robotnik and Bowser. Assuming GameFly’s listing is correct, Bowser’s inclusion could one of the contributing factors behind the Nintendo exclusivity.

It’s possible that the retailer is simply incorrect. Wreck-It Ralph is just a few months away, so we should receive information about the actual video game soon.

This isn’t anywhere close to being one of the top Wii games, but it doesn’t look completely awful. If it really is halfway decent, that’d be an accomplishment considering how terrible movie tie-ins are.

As has been the case for quite some time, Nintendo isn’t concerned with console power. The Wii U is capable in its own right, but no one expects it to offer more juice than Microsoft and Sony’s next-gen systems.

Shigeru Miyamoto was recently asked about the Wii U’s power relative to the Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 successors. He responded by saying that power and cost must be balanced, and in a separate answer, said that “it’s easy to lose sight of whether a game is fun or not.”

Head past the break to see all of Miyamoto’s comments about console power, Nintendo’s switch to HD, and changes made to the Wii U (the hardware hasn’t changed over the past year, but obviously the GamePad has).
