Wii U pre-orders have been strong in the U.S. thus far. The console seems to be doing just fine in Europe, too.
GAME has send out a statement about Wii U pre-orders, stating that there has been “lots and lots of interest.” The retailer added that they’ve been “exceeding expectations”.
“As expected with such a highly anticipated announcement of Wii U, we’ve had lots and lots of interest. Pre-orders are exceeding expectations with the black console proving the most popular so far.”
The Wii U version of Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed has been playable for a few months now. While the actual game content hasn’t been criticized, those who have tried it out have said that it suffers from frame rate issues.
Sumo Digital executive producer Steve Lycett, addressing fans on the official SEGA forums, stated that “the Wii U version is now the closet to the target frame rate” on consoles. Maybe this will ease the concerns of fans a bit?
You may be interested to hear that the Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed demo hasn’t changed since July. Sumo has been busy working on the final product, so it hasn’t had time to prepare new content for expo attendees. If this really is true, one would definitely expect the Wii U racer to have improved.
There’s lots of Assassin’s Creed III footage and a bunch of details to check out in the video above, for those who weren’t able to watch the show earlier today. Reggie’s interview bits are towards the end.
