EnjoyUp has teased a new game for the Wii U eShop involving cars and platforms.
A tweet published on the company’s account earlier today reads:

Note that “Cars & Platforms” isn’t actually the name of the game. This is just a tentative label given to the project for now.
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD Limited Edition can be purchased once more on GameStop. When the product originally went up, its availability didn’t last long. I imagine it’ll be similar this time around as well.
You can order the Zelda: Wind Waker HD Limited Edition here. Along with the game, a special Ganondorf figure is included.
Releasing Yakuza 1 & 2 HD on Wii U “was an experiment”, according to series creator and Yakuza Studio head Toshihiro Nagoshi.
Nagoshi told EDGE that he was “interested in the Wii U format and curious about how many Wii U users would be interested in the Yakuza series”. This information could only be obtained by “releasing something.”
Nagoshi probably didn’t attain the results he was probably looking for. The game’s sales “weren’t great,” he said.
“The PlayStation format has a lot of users, so we knew that our audience is there. With the HD versions, we had already made the game once for PS2 and then in HD, so it was quite easy to port it to Wii U, whereas [porting] a whole new title is a bit tricky. I was interested in the Wii U format and curious about how many Wii U users would be interested in the Yakuza series, and the only way to find that out was to try releasing something. It was an experiment. But the sales weren’t great.”
Perhaps due to the game’s lack of multiplayer, Batman: Arkham Origins will be priced at $50 when it launches on Wii U next month. Other versions cost $60 and include online play.
Some retailers (well, notably GameStop) have the game listed for $60. However, Warner Bros. confirmed that the official MSRP on Wii U is indeed $50.
Amazon probably has the best deal for Origins at this point.
You’ll receive a $10 credit along with Deathstroke DLC.
Monster Hunter 4 sold 473,739 copies in its second week following an incredibly successful debut. But it’s important to note that retail sales may have been hampered by continued shortages, as noted by Media Create.
The eShop version of Monster Hunter 4 is expected to see persisting demand due to the lack of retail stock. However, because Nintendo typically withholds sales of games on its digital store, we’re unlikely to find out the full extent of Monster Hunter 4’s sales.
Mighty No. 9 could come to the 3DS and PlayStation Vita through a newly revealed Kickstarter stretch goal.
If funds hit $3.5 million, the game will be assured for both platforms. Abstraction Games, the company behind Hotline Miami on PS Vita, will work on Mighty No. 9 for the two systems.
There’s just one caveat: only four days remain in Mighty No. 9’s Kickstarter campaign. The campaign will need to raise another $900,000 in that span of time.
LucasArts canned a whole bunch of projects over the years – including one game planned for Wii U.
According to Kotaku, the company intended to release a few titles leading up to the reintroduction of Star Wars Battlefront. One of these games was given the tentative name “Version Two”. The site reports through a source that the project “grew from the remnants of a project code-named Wingman that was going to be a Wii U title modeled after the old TIE Fighter and X-Wing games.”
Kotaku has a bit of footage from Wingman, which can be found here.
