Capcom’s Gamescom 2012 conference is done and over with, but none of the news was Wii U-related (and there was nothing about Monster Hunter Tri G…).
Now, we do know that Capcom has at least one Wii U project in development. Apparently this game will be shown “very soon.”
According to Capcom’s head of marketing for US and Europe Michael Pattison:
“There is a rumour that we are working on a Wii U game. It won’t be at this show. But we do have something waiting in the wings, and we will be talking about that very soon.”
Will this Wii U title be another version of a multiplatform title? Will it be an original game? A new Okami (yes please)? Capcom’s newly announced Remember Me could be a good fit on Wii U…
Media Factory has released a special Mario piggy bank in Japan. The “Super Mario Bros. Sound Bank Retro” is available starting today for 399 yen.
This product is a bit different compared to the average piggy bank. When you insert a coin, a Mario-themed sound effect plays out. Classic sounds include a coin sound, a mushroom sound, a pipe sound, and a game over sound.
Consumers can choose from six different piggy banks. Each type offers four sound effects.
The mystery developer behind the Wii U version of Mass Effect 3 has been revealed. According to BioWare’s Melanie Faulkner, Tantalus Media is handling the porting process.
About a month ago, we heard that Tantalus was working on a AAA port – looks like Mass Effect 3 was the project in question.
While Tantalus does have a great deal of experience working with Nintendo platforms, the studio’s previous work doesn’t exactly scream high-quality. Still, EA seems to have quite a bit of faith in the company, so hopefully they’ll churn out a respectable port.
Now that we’re starting to close in on a Wii U release date announcement, speculation is running wild. The latest rumor, coming from Kotaku, concerns the console’s Australian launch.
The site reports that Nintendo will ship Wii U on December 6. An unnamed Australian retailer provided Kotaku with the unconfirmed date and also said that every pre-order at EB will be fulfilled.
Nintendo won’t say when it plans to launch Wii U, but a December 6 release date isn’t entirely far-fetched. When the Wii came out, it launched on December 7 in Australia, which is also a Thursday.
We’re probably about a month away from an official Wii U release date reveal. Nintendo is expected to share launch information sometime next month.
