Nintendo of Europe will be publishing a new Wii game from CK Games next month.
“Quiz Party” is a casual title featuring over 2,000 questions pertaining to history, geography, sports, television, and movies. A multiplayer mode is included that allows players to split into teams of two or four. Mascots for each team can be chosen, including Miis.
There are a ton of comparisons in the images above. They relate to launch colors, system size, screen size, hardware details, and more. Check them out for yourself in the gallery above.
The image above comes from a recent issue of the Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper.
Nintendo president Satoru Iwata told the publication that the Wii U will be priced “reasonably”. Iwata additionally stated that the company will do everything its power to avoid the same mistakes made with the 3DS.
Speaking of the portable, Iwata says that Nintendo is improving costs of the system. The 3DS has become profitable once again, and the company overall should become profitable by March 2013, the end of the fiscal year.
Even though E3 2012 has come and gone, it’s still unclear if Call of Duty: Black Ops II is in development for Wii U. Its creators have hinted at a version for Nintendo’s upcoming console, but nothing has been confirmed.
Treyarch director of communications John Rafacz remained quiet when asked about the possibility of a Wii U edition recently.
Rafacz did throw out one nugget, though. He said that “any technology that can enhance the Call of Duty experience is worth considering”.
According to Rafacz:
“Right now we’ve announced that the game is coming for 360, PS3 and PC. Announcements regarding any other SKUs just haven’t been made. When you talk about any technology that can enhance the Call of Duty experience, that’s a technology that is worth considering. There’s that core Call of Duty experience and that is what fans expects, so anything that helps advance that is worth considering.”

Thanks to Jake for the tip.
Amazon Germany has added in a boxart image for the Wii U version of Darksiders II. The question is, will this be the final box template for the console? Is it official?
I have my doubts that the final Wii U boxart is set in stone, but it’ll probably look something similar to the image above.
