Here’s a random stat about the Dragon Quest X Wii U beta. In order to add the download to a Wii U console, you’ll need 5.94GB of space. The game just barely fits on a Basic Set.
One other note – Dragon Quest X Wii U save data comes in at 8MB.
Shigeru Miyamoto is back again! Below you’ll see what Miyamoto has to say when it comes to his favorite parts from Hyrule Historia and top Famicom games.
Will Turnbow, a dedicated Zelda fan, and his wife made an absolutely amazing animated Skyward Sword cake for their daughter’s tenth birthday. The cake features Skyloft, the Sealed Grounds, the Faron Woods, as well as other elements from the Wii title.
“The Temple entrance is 6 batches of Rice Krispies and the backside of the temple is 9 cakes stacked as high as we could make it. The small tower on either side are styrofoam wrapped with fondant. My wife made and painted all of the characters out of clay except for Link (I was able to use my Figma Link).”
Big John Games announced on Twitter yesterday that Nintendo has approved the company as an official Wii U developer. The team is “exploring how to bring awesome gaming experiences” for the console, but couldn’t provide any specifics just yet.
This just in! Big John Games is now a Wii U developer!

With the successful launch of Coaster Creator 3D, Big John Games is exploring how to bring awesome gaming experiences to the Wii U.

Big John Games just released Coaster Creator 3D on the 3DS eShop last week. The game can be purchased for $9.99.
I’m conflicted. I love me some Toki Tori, but I can’t stand the Harlem Shake. I feel like that meme ran its course weeks ago!
Circle Entertainment plans to bring RPG Ash – a very-well received title that originally launched for iOS – to the 3DS eShop. It’ll feature new art and may take advantage of the system’s features. Look out for the game sometime in Q3/Q4.
The newly-launched SimCity will remain on PC – and PC only. EA has no plans to bring the game to consoles at this time.
An official tweet from the SimCity Twitter account states:
@erod188 Sadly there are no current plans to move SimCity to console.

The last SimCity game for consoles was SimCity Creator. EA published the game for Wii back in 2008.
When Nintendo said they were trying to be indie friendly (or rather, indie developers said Nintendo was trying to be indie friendly), I was honestly pretty skeptical given the Big N’s past with digital download shops, but today yet another game developer has said they’ll likely bring their next game to the Wii U if they reach their Kickstarter goal.
– Robotoki statement
Robotoki’s game The Adventures of Dash is a really artistically interesting sidescrolling puzzle game that’s coming to PC in the future, and I would be completely okay with seeing it hit Wii U as well! I absolutely love how many developers we’re seeing say “Yea, we’ll definitely try and bring our game to Wii U”, and I can’t help but feel a teeny tiny bit of extra joy that they’re only mentioning Wii U as of now– no other systems. Nintendo might finally be doing download shops correctly!
David Byers, the sole creator of Another Castle, is currently hard at work on completing the platformer. But what lies ahead for the future?
While he can’t officially confirm anything at present, Byers is thinking about “making a tiny, quirky project from the ground up just for the Wii U.” It wouldn’t be a platformer like Another Castle, and it would “look completely different”.
“I’m considering making a tiny, quirky project from the ground up just for the Wii U. Mainly just for fun. I don’t have any specific plans yet, all I know is it won’t be a platformer, and it will look completely different from Another Castle.”
