Transformers Prime could be heading to Wii U. That’s according to the official site, which lists the upcoming console as an intended platform for the game.

It’s possible that Activision simply made a mistake. Then again, perhaps Transformers Prime is actually coming to Wii U.

You can see the listing right here.

On this week’s episode: E3 2012 overview, including coverage of Wii U and 3DS titles.

Above is the official Japanese Kirby’s Dream Collection Special Edition boxart. As you can see, it’s filled with lots of pink. What do you guys think of the image?

It looks like we can eliminate one candidate for EA’s unannounced Wii U games. Visceral Games ruled out Dead Space 3 for the platform earlier this week.

Executive producer Steve Papoutsis was asked on Twitter if the project is planned for Wii U. Papoutsis responded, “not currently in the plan”.

And so Dead Space Extraction (Wii) remains the only game in the franchise that has made it out for a Nintendo console.

Nintendo’s games of this generation are very, very different than the ones released back in the day – specifically the first Mario and Zelda.

Whereas you could essentially start playing the meat of the games within a couple of minutes, that’s not the case with some current releases. Kotaku, for instance, pointed out that it takes over an hour to reach the first dungeon in Zelda: Skyward Sword.

Fans may also say that some of Nintendo’s recent games have been “playing it safe”. As an example, all four New Super Mario Bros. games seem to be comparable in a number of aspects.

Shigeru Miyamoto was quizzed about some of these topics at E3 2012 last week.

Players Battle to Unite the Region of Ransei in a New Game Featuring Warlords, Warriors, Characters Inspired by Japanese History and Nearly 200 Pokémon

REDMOND, Wash., June 14, 2012 – New and experienced fans of the Pokémon video game series are invited to embark on an entirely new role-playing adventure. Pokémon Conquest launches for the Nintendo DS family of hand-held systems on June 18. The game is also playable on Nintendo 3DS in 2D mode, and challenges players to enter into battles across a variety of environments in the mythical region of Ransei. For the first time in the Pokémon franchise, players take on the role of Warlords who are linked with Pokémon, and must recruit allies to unite the kingdoms of Ransei and unleash the Legendary Pokémon. Developed by TECMO KOEI GAMES Co., Ltd., the game features nearly 200 Pokémon to battle and recruit, including many from the fan-favorite Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version games.

In Pokémon Conquest, the region of Ransei is divided into 17 distinct kingdoms – one for each of the 17 types of Pokémon. Players will be able to choose from 36 playable Warlords, each with its own unique storyline, and engage in a series of turn-based battles in which they can control Pokémon and Warriors. Battles can grow to include as many as 12 Pokémon in a six-on-six skirmish. Many battlefield victories will let players recruit more Warlords and Warriors and gain access to additional allies. Along the way, they will also encounter fascinating Warlords and Warriors inspired by the Japanese feudal era.

Ubisoft has once again been asked about the Wii U version of Ghost Recon Online.

Not much has changed since last week, though. The publisher isn’t saying much about the Wii U version, and it’s unclear when it’ll be released.

A Ubisoft spokesperson said:

“Our focus has been entirely on delivering a great launch on PC. Achieving that has been an all-hands-on-deck effort for the team this year. We’re looking forward to seeing what we can do on other platforms like Wii U once we’re on solid ground with the PC launch. We’ll have more to share later.”
