The screenshots above show off the new Ninja Trials coming to Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge later this month.
Since this game seems to be all but confirmed for Wii U, I suppose it’d be safe to post this! It’s footage from the PlayStation 4 version, though the Wii U version will look somewhat similar.
Need for Speed: Most Wanted is launching on Wii U next month. EA originally published the game back in November. Going forward, Criterion has confirmed that future releases in the series will arrive on the Wii U at the same time as other platforms.
A new Call of Duty: Black Ops II update is live on the Wii U. The patch comes with standard improvements, tweaks, and more. Patch notes aren’t out yet, but we’ll post them as soon as Treyarch publishes the list online.
After MercurySteam wrapped up development on Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, the studio was floundering a bit. The team didn’t have any new projects to take on once its game was done. That put MercurySteam in a difficult position, as it would be nearly impossible to continue paying employees.
Thankfully, Konami and MercurySteam eventually agreed on a new Castlevania for the 3DS, which we now know as Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate. Before the deal was signed, though, there was a strong possibility that MercurySteam would have been forced to close.
According to Castlevania producer David Cox:
We have learned an awful lot about the Zelda series with the recent release of Hyrule Historia, and the latest revelation to come out of the pages of the textbook-sized fan service is that the Gameboy oddity Link’s Awakening actually may have had some form of co-op at one point.
The information comes in the form of development documents for the game, one of which includes a picture of two Links fighting a boss with the note “What’re we gonna do about 1P mode?”. This would certainly indicate they had briefly considered the option at one point, though I would be skeptical if someone told me they actually ever programmed the option in to try it out.
