Scribblenauts Unlimited will be released in Europe on February 8. Nintendo will be publishing the game across the continent.
Decisions, decisions. Two Nintendo Directs happening at the same time. Which one will you watch?
Nintendo of Canada communications director Matt Ryan has answered a few questions about the upcoming Wii Mini, a new version of the old console. He commented on why certain features were removed (including online), discussed the system’s market, talked about why it will only launch in Canada, and touched on the Mini’s lifecycle. There’s also talk about how Ryan feels that the Wii Mini and Wii U won’t interfere with each other.
Look for Ryan’s full answers below.

The latest deals from GameStop are as follows:
LEGO: The Lord of the Rings is available on practically every platform. Because of this – as well as Nintendo’s tight relationship with Warner Bros. Interactive – it seemed inevitable that the game would eventually come to Wii U.
As we now know, that won’t happen. But that raises the simple question: why?
A Warner Bros. Interactive rep explained:
“The primary reason is that [Traveller’s Tales] and Lego were already working on Lego City Undercover for Wii U.”
Weekly Shonen Jump’s latest magazine has gone on sale, and it’s brought along an interesting revelation. “Project Versus J”, a brand new title, is teased in the issue.
The magazine doesn’t actually have any details about the mystery project, but calls it the “ultimate Jump game”. One Piece’s Luffy, Dragon Ball’s Goku, and Toriko are all pictured in the first scan.
