We’re still waiting for a number of Mega Man titles on the Virtual Console. As an example, Mega Man II and III for Game Boy still aren’t out on the western eShops as of yet.
There’s no set date for any of the upcoming VC games, but Capcom’s Brett Elston did share an update over on the company’s official forums.
He said:
Their figures for Watch_Dogs are (a bit) more conservative, but with Assassin’s Creed IV Ubisoft is expecting sales figures to hit the double-digit millions. 10 million would put the game ahead of most this holiday season, but it’s worth noting (thanks, VideoGamer!) that Assassin’s Creed III actually sold even more than that, clocking in at 12.5 million.
Assassin’s Creed IV will be out on October 29th for Wii U.
IGN has put up a new feature on Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. The article has more details about the upcoming 3DS game, plus a few more comments from Eiji Aonuma.
Head past the break for the latest on A Link Between Worlds.
Super Smash Bros. will be launching on Wii U (and 3DS) next year. That presents the perfect opportunity for the game to make its first appearances at various events and tournaments in 2014.
MLG is one such venue where Super Smash Bros. for Wii U could be appearing. Major League Gaming CEO Sundance DiGiovanni has said on Twitter that Nintendo has interest, as does he.
The message reads:
@proxywolf @MLG @MrAdamAp it may. Nintendo is interested. So am I.

In this week’s Famitsu, four notable Japanese developers revealed their top 3 games of all time. Puzzle & Dragons creator Daisuke Yamamoto, Monster Hunter producer Kaname Fujioka, Siren and Gravity Rush producer Keiichiro Toyama, and Ogre Battle designer Yasumi Matsuno shared their choices.
Polygon translated selections and comments for all four developers. You can find the results below.
Ubisoft share price falls up to 32% amidst game delays
Understandably, Ubisoft’s stock took a hit this week after they announced the delay of two of their biggest titles this holiday season: Watch_Dogs and The Crew. Both games were pushed into 2014, and shortly thereafter the company’s shares fell by the biggest margin they’ve seen since they debuted on the stock exchange all the way back in 1996. On top of that, we recently reported that the company said Rayman Legends and Splinter Cell: Blacklist sold below expectations, which probably contributed to their troubles.
