If you’re in Europe and you want to see just how mainstream basketball games would play on Wii U, now’s your chance! You can snag the (free, of course) demo of NBA 2K13 on the Wii U eShop right this very second!
Reviews of the game have been pretty high, so even if you aren’t interested in the sport, maybe the demo is at least worth a look…
Costco is currently selling both Wii U models are a fairly significant discount. Consumers can purchase the Deluxe Set for $299.97 or the Basic Set for $244.97. You’d be saving around $50 with either model.

EA is planning on launching its next Madden NFL game on August 27. Based on a new post on the franchise’s official website, it could be seeing a small name change.
As pictured above, the graphic posted on Madden’s site indicates that the upcoming release may be called “Madden 25”. The football series is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year.
EA has traditionally labeled its Madden games according to the year of release. In 2012, for instance, Madden went by the title “Madden NFL 13”.
We’ll likely be receiving additional information during the Super Bowl on Sunday.
One day in the future, Capcom’s legendary Resident Evil series could see a reboot.
Resident Evil: Revelations producer Masachika Kawata commented on the possibility of changes following Resident Evil 6’s mixed reception, and specifically commented on the suggestion of a more open-world approach in a Eurogamer interview:
“If we did [go with an open-world], we would want to preserve what Resident Evil is and what makes it appealing to fans, while also making it accessible to new players. It would almost entail having a slight reboot to get the series into a place where it would work with open-world gameplay. That’s just a personal opinion. A lot of decisions would have to be taken before something like that is done to the series, but it is something that… There is a possibility.”
