Japanese blogs have been “ablaze” with talk about the Wii U version of Yakuza 1 & 2 HD. There is a thought that it suffers from slightly worse visuals compared to its PlayStation 3 counterpart that came out in Japan last year. Based on images released thus far, the Wii U version seems to possess some slightly jaggier edges, and an overall downgrade – though minor – in graphics.
Have a look for yourself in the gallery above.

A new Wii U update is now available to download – version 3.0.1. Nintendo says that the upgraded firmware makes “Further improvements to overall system stability and software compatibility.”
The Wii U also received new firmware last month. It was the first of two major updates, highlighted by a significant improvement to load times. The second big update is due out this summer.
Last week, D3Publisher revealed “Adventure Time: Explore the Dungeon Because I DON’T KNOW!”. The announcement did not offer up a release date – only a vague “fall” window was provided.
According to a listing on GameFly, the new Adventure Time will be available on November 12. That’s not official, but it’s the only thing we have to go on at the moment. Plus, last year’s Adventure Time did ship in November as well.
