So… is “Nintendo Update” the replacement for Nintendo Week? It’s kind of like the Nintendo Show 3D, but they’ll be shown monthly – go check it out on the Nintendo Channel.
Third-party Wii U developers have made it clear that Nintendo has been fielding feedback on the console. Better than this, though, is that the Big N actually seemed to listen.
Gearbox Software art director Brian Cozzens told Nintendo Gamer that he feels “we’ll see some cool stuff that we’ve had some influence over.”
Cozzens also believes that “the final controller specs are going to be awesome.”
He said:
“We were early in seeing what was happening with the Wii U and we’ve been able to give some feedback. They’ve listened, and I think we’ll see some cool stuff that we’ve had some influence over. I think the final controller specs are going to be awesome.”

That odd Wii U phone call we mentioned last night may not have come from Nintendo. Rather, the source appears to be from Bloober Team, who are teasing a new game titled “Medium”.
It sounds like the actual text from the phone call could have been “Do you know about Medium? If not, you will.”
Medium is in the works for Wii U, PlayStation 3, Vita, Xbox 360, PC, Android, and iOS. It’s described as a “completely new model of gameplay”. I assume we’ll be hearing about the title at E3.
A teaser site for Medium can be found here. In addition, a couple of art pieces have been attached above.
Update: Added in slightly more accurate translation.
Crytek, the developer behind such titles as Crysis 3 and Homefront 2, doesn’t have any plans to make games for the Wii U at the moment. Founder and CEO Cevat Yerli shared the update in an interview with German site Golem.
Although Crytek won’t be involved with software development, the studio’s CryEngine technology will be incorporated into projects from other companies.
Yerli said (rough translation):
“We don’t have anything planned for either console (Wii U or Vita). For the Wii U there will be games running on CryEngine, but they are from licensees…”
