New Game Showcases the Unique and Fun Experiences of Wii U
REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– It’s time to RSVP for the best video game party ever. On Oct. 25, the Wii Party U game launches for the Wii U console, bringing with it more than 80 mini-games, multiple party modes for people of all ages and unique game play that shows off the creative power of the Wii U GamePad controller. The game offers a party for every kind of player – from board games centered on the television to tabletop games that can be played exclusively on the GamePad (no TV required!). Wii Party U turns any living room into a party.
“Call your family and friends and start planning your Wii Party U party now,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “The game is another classic Nintendo experience that will have people laughing and smiling with every new original activity.”
Jett Rocket II: The Wrath of Taikai is gearing up for its launch on the 3DS eShop. Shin’en is currently “preparing the release”, and hopes to have it ready to go within the next few weeks. The game should be out by the end of November at the latest.
Jett Rocket II is also coming to Japan, Shin’en has confirmed to us. If possible, the studio hopes it will be available in the country along with the rest of the world.
We also have a tiny tidbit about Shin’en’s Wii U plans. We do know that one project will be revealed soon. Shin’en has also reconfirmed the existence of a second new Wii U title, which will be revealed later this year.
A couple of new Jett Rocket II screenshots showing one of the game’s bosses can be found below.
The next big event at Nintendo World will be a “Wii Party U Mixer”. For the title’s arrival this week, fans will have the opportunity to try T.V. Party Mode, House Party Mode and GamePad Party mode in the store’s Wii U section. Additionally, attendees can nab some treats at a sweets station.
You can stop by Nintendo World this Friday for the mixer. It’ll be taking place between 6 PM and 9 PM.

David Jaffe has a suggestion for Nintendo: try selling the company to Disney. He believes “they clearly understand marketing, they clearly understand their audience.”
Now, Jaffe’s words shouldn’t be taken as him looking to openly blast Nintendo. While speaking with HipHopGamer, Jaffe acknowledged his respect and admiration for the company. The thing is, he wants them to do something new.
Jaffe labeled Shigeru Miyamoto’s contributions to gaming as “industry-altering and super important”. However, he feels “some new blood getting in there” could only improve Nintendo.
Jaffe’s comments in full:
D3Publisher continues to release new @Simple DS Series games on the Japanese 3DS eShop. The latest, which is also the 21st, is called “The Forensics Inspector”.
This game places players in the role of a forensics inspector. You’ll be examining and testing evidence obtained from a crime scene, and determine the identity of the perpetrator in four unique cases.
