Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition, announced earlier today, will not be available on Wii U. NetherRealm Studios creative director Ed Boon has confirmed that the re-release isn’t planned for the console.
A tweet from Boon reads:
RT @KyleJastrick @noobde No Wii U version of Ultimate? EB: No Wii-U version.
— Ed Boon (@noobde) October 7, 2013
RT @Omegaduelflame @noobde ..the original game came out on Wii u so this should too make it happen ed EB: Its not as simple as that.

Last week, news surfaced of Nintendo’s plans to end production of the Wii in Japan. It doesn’t sound like there are similar plans in the west.
Eurogamer was told by Nintendo that the message was specific to Japan. The company also said, “We have made no specific announcements for Europe regarding Wii production.” That’s the same situation in the states as well.
Nintendo’s statement in full reads:
“Yes, NCL did update their website on 29th August with a small notice to state that Wii hardware production will stop in the near future. This specific message was referring to the Japanese market. No specific time frame has been stated yet. We have made no specific announcements for Europe regarding Wii production.”

If you purchase Pokemon X/Y from UK retailer Tesco, you’ll receive a small bonus. Consumers will be given a serial code for 12 Quick Balls. Copies with the code come with a special sticker on the front of the packaging.
LEGO games tend to release on a regular basis. This year alone we’ve seen LEGO City: Undercover, LEGO City Undercover: The Chase Begins, and LEGO Legends of Chima: Laval’s Journey. LEGO Marvel Super Heroes is also due out later this month.
Yet despite the frequent launches of LEGO titles, there is “absolutely no fatigue at all and there is actually a demand for different experiences.”
Warner Bros. senior vice president for international games Olivier Wolff told GamesIndustry:
