Square Enix opened a new Theatrhythm Final Fantasy teaser site earlier today. It doesn’t contain much, other than music cues moving across the screen and the words “Coming Soon.”
There’s speculation that this could be related to an iOS/Android port or something of that nature. That wouldn’t be a huge surprise given that Square Enix has already brought over titles such as The World Ends with You.
Guess we’ll just have to wait and see…
Amazon posted the boxart for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate. Take a look at the image above.
Nintendo has confirmed that European Wii U owners are unable to purchase 18+ rated content from the eShop.
Why, you ask? Nintendo of Europe is based in Germany. That means the company must comply with German youth protection regulation. And thus, European gamers can’t purchase games like ZombiU or Assassin’s Creed III in the day time.
Nintendo of Europe explained:
“At Nintendo we always aim to provide a safe gaming experience for fans of all ages and ensure that we comply with applicable legal age restriction requirements across Europe. Legal age restriction requirements vary across a number of European countries. Since Nintendo of Europe is based in Germany, Nintendo eShop is complying with German youth protection regulation which therefore applies to all our European markets. Under German law, content rated 18+ must be made available only at night. Therefore the accessibility of 18+ content in Nintendo eShop is limited to [USK: 22:00 UTC until 4:00 UTC] [PEGI: 23:00 UTC until 3:00 UTC].”

Irrational Games’ Ken Levine has a Wii U. He likes it, in fact. But that doesn’t mean we’ll see any of his games on the console anytime soon.
When asked if he had any news to share about Wii U, Levine said:
“We never had any news on the Wii U. I bought one and I like it. I play games on it! But in terms of development, nothing is brewing right now.”
So I guess BioShock Infinite won’t be released for Wii U? Though I don’t think anyone was counting on that happening…
