Two Tribes has tweeted an off-screen shot showing the original Toki Tori running on Wii U via the GamePad. This title, along with other older games from the studio, will be released on the eShop sometime in the future.

Bertil Hörberg, creator of Gunman Clive, has given a first look at his brand new project. On Twitter, Hörberg shared a couple of GIFs showing the game in action:

The yet-to-be-named title was confirmed for the 3DS eShop back in May. According to Hörberg, “it’s very heavily inspired by the early Zelda games”.
New versions of Monster Hunter Frontier G were announced in this week’s Famitsu. Previously released on the Xbox 360 and PC in Japan, the online title is now heading to the Wii U and PlayStation 3.
Director Tatsumi Kimoto and producer Kazunori Sugiura chatted about Monster Hunter Frontier G with Famitsu to discuss where Capcom is taking the game with these new platforms.
First, Kimoto provided the following overview:
“The biggest asset of MHFG is how it provides a continually-evolving hunting experience for you to enjoy through its regularly large-scale updates. That’s a unique attraction, the way the game changes with each update through its new monsters, weapons, and armor. With MHFG being online only, you can enjoy the game with hunters from all across the country, and we provide a wealth of content that lets you interact and work together with them. For someone just starting, it’s packed with so much content that you’ll never be able to digest it all.”
Only one score has surfaced from Famitsu this week, Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-Kun SP. The game earned two 8s and two 7s from the publication. There should be additional scores, but those haven’t reported from Famitsu thus far.

Warner Bros. announced an online multiplayer component for Batman: Arkham Origins today. Surely this significant feature will be coming to Wii U, right? Well, not exactly…
As far as I can tell, Origins’ online multiplayer will not be available on Wii U. Warner Bros.’s announcement only mentions the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC, and the official trailer is also conspicuously absent of a Wii U logo.
I’m not quite sure what reason there would be to keep Batman: Arkham Origins’ online multiplayer off Wii U, but we’ll try to get some answers.

3DS LL – 36,350
