Mighty Rabbit Studios has confirmed plans to bring Saturday Morning RPG to the Wii U. The episodic role-playing game is already available on several platforms like iOS devices, though the eShop version should offer a few unique elements.

Mighty Rabbit Studios told Nintendo Force this month that the title will include a number of Wii U-exclusive battle objects that “play entirely to the GamePad’s strengths.” The developer is tinkering around with one idea – an homage to Presto Magix – in which players “have to use the GamePad screen to rub an attack into existence.” Off-TV play is also supported.

Saturday Morning RPG should be hitting Wii U in Q4 2014. At launch, players can get their hands on the first five full episodes from the iPhone version. A sixth episode will be made available for free through a future update.

Here’s a little bit of depressing news for you. Mega Man Legends 3, cancelled by Capcom back in 2011, nearly had its voice work finished.

Cup of Tea Productions was working with Capcom on the game’s voice recording portions. Interestingly enough, owner Danni Hunt told Siliconera in a recent interview that they were “almost completed.”

He said:

That was us though. It was almost completed. It was voiced. I can confirm it was almost completed.

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– When Tomodachi Life is on, all bets are off. You, your friends and family – alongside some of the coolest people you can imagine – can star as Mii characters in this madcap hand-held adventure launching June 6 for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems. The only difference will be that now you will watch their lives unfold in sillier, entirely spontaneous and hilariously dramatic ways.

“Tomodachi” is the Japanese word for “friend.” Because your friends become the life force of Tomodachi Life, the game will become your BFF, just as it has for millions of video game fans in Japan. If you’re dreaming of hanging out with celebrities, Nintendo is providing the Mii characters of Christina Aguilera, Debby Ryan, Zendaya, Shaun White and Shaquille O’Neal in Tomodachi Life at launch on the Tomodachi Life website at http://tomodachi.nintendo.com/sharing-miis.
