007 Legends Wii U shipped to stores today. Where’s there to look forward to if you already have the game on a different platform?
According to Activision, the Wii U version features mini-games of sorts, exclusive outfits in multiplayer, and more.
Here’s the full rundown:
- Mini-games and more – players can utilize the Wii U GamePad to “control the hand of Bond” in order to manipulate the world in a more tactile way, such as hacking into safes, flipping switches, and more.
- Spy Gadgets – fans will have quicker access to Bond’s gadgets with a simple tap of the GamePad touchscreen.
- Nostalgic Multiplayer – 007 Legends will feature unique split-screen multiplayer game modes and character outfits that are exclusive to the Wii U version of the game.

I’ll admit, I’ve never thought about buying a skin for a console. Never even a handheld! This time, however, I’m giving it some serious consideration, because the $20 retro-feel Wii U skin from DecalGirl looks so awesome in this picture, AND it would prevent me from finger-printing the heck out of my Wii U…
You can buy the skin yourself here.
I actually saw this on reddit a couple of days ago, but didn’t think it was news-worthy for our great website. Apparently, IGN has not such high standards.
I kid, of course. This is serious business, because the ultra-hard sequel to the ultra-tough game Dark Souls was announced just a few days ago for PS3, PC, and 360– but not for Wii U. Apparently a group of gamers is pretty frustrated by this, so they’ve started an online petition to try and get Namco Bandai to reconsider. Currently there are about 6,000 people who have pledged support, and while I’m not sure that’s quite enough to get the game released (try 100,000… or more!), it’s a start. If you would buy Dark Souls II on Wii U, add your name to the petition:
Goodbye Galaxy Games, the maker of the Flipper titles, is still churning out DSiWare titles. The next game from the studio is titled “Color Commando”.
Color Commando features paint monsters of a particular. Players will need to shoot them with the same color. Information is limited, but it’s looking like Color Commando is made up of puzzler/shooter elements.
More details will be revealed on the official website, which is launching tomorrow.
Discussing the origin of Color Commando, Hugo Smits of Goodbye Galaxy Games explained:
“I also did not plan to make another DSiWare game, but my girlfriend was visiting family for a week (her family lives in Hungary – the piano stage of Flipper 2 is a homage to that). So I was all alone that week with some bags of M&Ms…what can you do?”
Circle Entertainment will be publishing Color Commando for a probable price point of 200 points. The game’s development is done and is currently in the approval stage. Once that’s done, Color Commando should be out very soon.
Toki Tori 2 won’t be making its intended December 20 release date. Developer Two Tribes wrote on its website that it believes it “would do you a disservice to you if we release it in its current form.”
The developer is currently working on Toki Tori 2’s “weak spots, in all categories ranging from gameplay to graphics to technology.”
A final release date hasn’t been set, but Two Tribes hopes to have its first Wii U eShop game ready for early 2013.
