The Wii Mini has been a Canadian-exclusive product up to this point. But might the hardware be released in Europe as well?

Websites under the NoE umbrella (like nintendo.co.uk) are listing “Wii mini” on the “Wii” menu bar. At present, the page only produces an error.

There are two possibilities here. Either Nintendo of Europe simply screwed up, or the Wii Mini was accidentally listed before an official announcement was made.

I have a feeling this franchise might start making the list after its latest entry…

This is a two question survey that requires no signing up, accounts, clicking through ads, or anything. Just answer a required question, answer a non-required question (if you want) and make your voice heard in yet another NintendoEverything reader survey poll thing! Results will be read in the form of our top ten list on the next podcast, and if you opted to answer the written question your answer could be read on the show! So don’t say anything ridiculous.

Thanks very much. As stated above the question for you guys this week is “What “second tier” Nintendo franchises do you personally consider “first tier”?”

Starting tomorrow, Target will be initiating a couple of Wii U-related deals.

First up, those who purchase a Wii U console will receive a $25 gift card – Basic or Deluxe. Target will also be holding a buy 2, get 1 free sale on all games for the system.

Both offers will be valid through March 2.

In the latest Watch Dogs footage, Ubisoft plastered the URL “chicago-ctos.com” on signs, posters, and other objects in the open-world. This appears to be an actual website. Access it here.

Upon visiting the page, you’ll notice that it says DedSec has seized the site. Graffiti of the DedSec group is shown through graffiti in the latest Watch Dogs video.

The page also includes the quote “Quis custodiet ipsos custodes”. In Latin, this translates to “Who will guard the guards themselves?” or “Who watches the watchmen?”.

Thanks to Jermaine for sending this news our way.

Another day, another Kickstarter for a Wii U eShop project.

Maestro Games has launched a new campaign for Cosmic Highway, a new title set to hit Nintendo’s digital store in late spring. The indie dev hopes to raise funds to finish the game’s final 15 levels and overall content for Wii U.

The Kickstarter will end on March 15. Maestro hopes to raise a total of $6,000.

You can find more information about Cosmic Highway here.

Thanks to Tex for the tip.

Rumor has it that Rayman creator Michel Ancel could be leaving Ubisoft.

Long story short, Ancel would take a few employees with him – maybe five or six staffers – and start up a new project, perhaps with another company. This would provide Ancel with the opportunity to be more creative.

Ubisoft apparently has some idea that Ancel could be heading down a new path. Even if this does happen, the publisher could in some form.

Gamekult, the source of the speculation, also reports that one reason that Rayman Legends went multiplatform is because Nintendo and Ubisoft were unable to reach an agreement when it came to distributing and marketing of the game.

Ubisoft and Ancel are both denying all rumors for now.
