Nintendo reminds you that the Kid Icarus anime shorts are returning to Nintendo Video:
SEGA has an unannounced project in the works for Wii U. Based on a LinkedIn entry, it looks like the game will be a downloadable release.
SEGA of America associate producer Matthew Hickman included a listing for an “unannounced title” in his online profile. In addition to Wii U, it’s in development for the PlayStation Network, Xbox Live Arcade, and PC. As many of you know, PSN/XBLA are virtual platforms, so this new project will probably appear on the Wii U’s digital store.
Call of Duty: Black Ops II has taken a step back in being confirmed for Wii. A Wii version seemed like a strong possibility after it was discovered that Activision has added in an official sub-board on the game’s official forums. This was a just a mistake, however.
An official notice on the Black Ops II forums reads:
Members of the Wii Community — When migrating our forums from Call of Duty: Black Ops to the new site, the “Wii” section migrated with it, which should not have been the case.
To date, we have only confirmed development for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. We apologize for any confusion that this may have caused. Please stay tuned here for any updates.
A Wii edition may be out of the question – for now, anyway – but Treyarch studio head Mark Lamia did tease a version for the console’s successor.
Much like the 3DS cradle, it appears that Nintendo could be working on something similar for the Wii U. The console’s tablet would be placed on the accessory, and may provide power to the rechargeable controller.
Might this be bundled in with all Wii U units?

Featuring 50 new rhythm games, Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise will keep you tapping your feet
For the first time on home consoles, the quirky rhythm-based action of Rhythm Paradise returns, so get ready to gather your friends and family round the TV to experience a colourful world of quirky rhythm games. Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise launches for Wii across Europe on 6th July featuring 50 brand new rhythm games and the eccentric characters and funny situations that Rhythm Paradise fans have come to know and love.
From playing golf with mandrill to controlling a flowerpot-punching karate man, everything has to be done in time to the beat to win. Try not to let the craziness occurring on screen distract you from the music because it is keeping the rhythm that counts. If you do stop to look at what’s going on then you won’t be disappointed, as each of the 50 rhythm games has their own short story featuring the classic Rhythm Paradise humour In a European exclusive, fans will also be able to switch between the Japanese and English soundtracks covering many musical styles.
Perhaps this shouldn’t come as a surprise, but Monster Hunter Tri G’s fate outside of Japan lies in the hands of Capcom entirely.
David Gibson at Macquarie Capital Securities (Japan) Limited attended Nintendo’s financial results briefing last week. It seems as though, at one point, Gibson asked the company about the overseas status of Monster Hunter Tri G. Nintendo responded by saying that what happens with the game is up to Capcom.
Capcom strong hinted at a localization announcement last month. If there is news about the title pertaining to an overseas release, we’ll probably have to wait until E3 2012 before anything is made official.
