Ubisoft has essentially confirmed that the new Wii U boxart images are the real deal. Amazon.ca, Target, and GameStop have collectively posted images for Assassin’s Creed III, Just Dance 4, Marvel Avengers, and FIFA 13.

When Ubisoft was asked about the boxart, Ubisoft PR rep Michael Beadle responded with the following:

“Why yes, the Wii U box art you sent is legit; in fact, it’s too legit to quit.”

That’s basically a 99% confirmation right there. The only way this couldn’t be completely confirmed is if Beadle was only responding to the art on the boxart rather than the template.

Thanks to Lars Havnes for the tip.

Famitsu has revealed that Raidou Kuzunoha, who has appeared in a couple of Devil Summoner games, will also be appearing in the 3DS remake of Soul Hackers.

Once players beat Soul Hackers, they’ll be granted access to a new dungeon. Raidou Kuzunoha appears in this area with his cat, Gouto-Douji. A different version of Raidou will also show up – he features a facial scar and even a new voice actor.
