Nyko is working on an accessory for the Wii U GamePad – known as “U Boost” – which promises to extend the battery life of the controller. Supposedly, the new rechargeable lithium polymer battery doubles the GamePad’s play time.

Amazon UK lists a November 30 release date for U Boost. You’ll be able to use the existing Wii U GamePad AC adaptor with the new battery.

For a full week, Toys “R” Us will be handing out a $30 gift card and a stylus with the purchase of a 3DS or 3DS XL. Consumers can take advantage of the deal between December 2 and December 8.

Just to clarify, the 3DS XL product is the newly announced bundle. This includes a pre-installed copy of Mario Kart 7.

In what will undoubtedly be the most important news of the night, there’s a clip floating around of Michelle Obama being told what a Wii U is. She had no idea what the console is and how it differs from a Wii before a visiting child explained it to her.

Edit: Valay says I would know more about it than he… but unfortunately I’ve yet to find the zombie that the dev team speaks of! A map showed up on Miiverse a few hours ago but I’ve been unable to find it since, so in the meantime I’ll just wander around. If I find it I’ll let everyone know what it was.

The development team behind ZombiU was recently teasing… something for the game. We weren’t quite sure what was planned, but some players may have come across the surprise.

After returning to the location where the original message was found, the following appears:


And after scanning the text, this shows up:


So, basically, it sounds like you’ll receive some extra/unique loot by taking down this zombie. Austin would probably know about this better than myself!

There is an amazing little video game fact buried in the ZombiU Iwata Asks that has gone unnoticed, for the most part.

Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata, formerly the president of HAL, revealed how the company was named after IBM. He said that “HAL was named as such because each letter put us one step ahead of IBM”.

Here’s the relevant blurb from the discussion:

Iwata:

I feel like we were thinking in just the same way, but in totally different countries. (Laughs) I also started from a very small software development company.

Yves:

We were inspired to aim big by the small yet dynamic world that was the early days of the gaming industry.

Iwata:

We were exactly the same in that sense. Ubisoft was named after Ubiquity because you wanted to be everywhere in the world and HAL was named as such because each letter put us one step ahead of IBM! (Laughs)
