Epic Mickey 2 may not have been 2012’s best game, but PDP sure did make a sweet tie-in peripheral. The PDP Mickey Paintbrush for Wii was released in November of last year.
As it just so happens, Amazon is running a lightning deal on the accessory. For the next 2 hours (expires at 2 AM ET / 12 AM PT), you can purchase the product
for $14.99. The list price is $29.99, so you’d technically be saving $15.
Getsu F?ma Den will be hitting the Japanese eShop as a Famicom download on February 20 for 500 yen. Screenshots of the game can be found above.
Resident Evil: Revelations HD will support GamePad and Wii U Pro Controller options. What players won’t be able to do is control the game with a Wiimote and nunchuck.
Capcom’s Mike Lumm wrote on Capcom-Unity:
“Unfortunately [Revelations] is only supported by the Wii-U gamepad at the moment. We’re doing what we can to get the new classic controller compatibility, but the game’s not setup to track motions from the wii-remote at this time.”
Wouldn’t it be neat to see a Wiimote and nunchuk setup through a patch? The wording of “at this time” doesn’t shut the door on the possibility completely…
Warner Bros. and NetherRealm Studios will be pulling back the curtain on yet another new Injustice: Gods Among Us character tomorrow. Creative director Ed Boon writes on Twitter that the reveal is for a “big” addition to the lineup.
New character announce tomorrow. And its a BIG one! Really big!#Injustice

In announcing the new character, a video will be released featuring both gameplay and story cut-scenes.
During its investors call last week, Ubisoft provided an update about its financial status regarding Wii U.
CEO Yves Guillemot started out by noting the console’s “slow launch”. While the company is “satisfied by our market share in the US and Europe”, Guillemot said that its “performance was impacted by low-tie ratios.”
A slew of new first-party Wii U titles were announced during a Nintendo Direct last month. Guillemot feels that some of these releases will “boost its potential.”
“Regarding Wii U, while we are satisfied by our market share in the US and Europe – at respectively 20% and 27% – our performance was impacted by low-tie ratios. Nintendo has recently announced the coming release of some of their great brands on Wii U, and we believe it will boost its potential.”
Maestro Interactive Games has three Wii U eShop titles in the pipeline. Along with the previously announced Super Ubi Land made by Notion Games, Maestro has announced Fade into Darkness and Cosmic Highway for the platform.
Fade into Darkness’ first trailer will debut during GDC. Cosmic Highway will also be getting a trailer during Maestro’s Kickstarter campaign.
