Former Square president Hisashi Suzuki doesn’t have particularly nice things to say about Square Enix today, particularly the decision to merge the two formerly separate companies. Here’s the tweet:
Now, this is the Google-translate version so of course the rage might be slightly lost, but the point still stands: He thinks the merger was/will be a failure, and there is no vision for the future from the company. Harsh words!
After an announcement for America and Europe, Level-5 revealed today that the three Guild 01 titles being made available on the eShop overseas will make their way to Japan in the coming months.
The first of the three titles– Liberation Maiden— is already available to western consumers, and will be hitting the Japanese eShop on November 14th. The other two will be coming “at a later date”, which likely means before the end of the year.
According to Broken Rules, Chasing Aurora’s “Hide & Seek” mode offers the following:
“Communication is key – in Hide and Seek, the team is up against the Wii U GamePad player, who steers the Golden Bird on the Wii U GamePad. It is the Golden Bird’s task to hide from all the other players until the time runs out. The team, on the other hand, has to find the Golden Bird and snatch away Aurora’s Gem it is carrying.”

Friend Codes are now a thing of the past. Wii U won’t be using those long digits in connecting with friends online.
A Nintendo spokesperson confirmed that the ID you create from the account system will be taking the place of Friend Codes:
“Our plan is to replace Friend Codes with a much more user-friendly Account ID system, which employs user-created account names.”
Technically Friend Codes are still around because of the 3DS. With Nintendo’s next handheld system though, I’m sure they’ll be gone for good.
Instruction manuals come in handy. They inform you about certain things, like the Wii U’s parental controls.
The Wii U’s book says that by enabling parental controls, System Settings options such as Internet Settings, System Transfers and the ability to format the system’s memory will all be blocked. It overall limits the viewing and downloading of content. You’ll need an identification number, created during the initial setup, to access these items.
Children could be potentially be blocked from certain games based on their ratings, all games’ online offerings, the Internet browser, the Wii U eShop, posting in and viewing Miiverse content, finding and registering new friends, and managing the console’s data.
