Given how Tomb Raider’s launch is on the horizon – it’s coming out on March 5 – it’s safe to say that it won’t be heading to Wii U. That means Straight Right’s secret Wii U port for Square Enix is a different game.
But why isn’t Tomb Raider coming to Wii U? Creative director Noah Hughes explained:
The 3DS Virtual Console release of Super C is far from a straight port of the original. Along with 2-player download play, Super C also contains a Spectator mode. This feature allows one person to play the game while another watches.

Good ol’ Reggie, getting ready for a Nintendo Direct.
But Austin, what the heck am I about to vote on!?
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 the first ever 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 (and probably will!) be read on the show!
Thanks very much. As stated above the question for you guys this week is “What was your favorite part about the Nintendo Direct on Wednesday?”
So Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon is called Luigi’s Mansion 2 in Europe? Guess so.
The GDC awards are a pretty big deal, because it’s one of the few gaming awards shows that isn’t chosen by the public and isn’t chosen by some big name media company (like the VGAs)– the winners of this award are chosen by developers, for developers. Winning one of these means your peers who work in the same industry as you think highly of your product, and that’s a pretty cool thing!
You can find the nominees for all of the GDC Awards this year (which happens on March 27th at GDC) after the jump.
