Ubisoft is shutting down online services for a number of Wii U / Wii games as of today. In a statement posted on the company’s forums, it was noted that ending services for older games with a smaller audience will allow the IT and service staff to focus on newer and more popular titles.
The lineup of affected Nintendo titles is as follows:
This week, it was revealed that Pokemon GO developer Niantic is creating a new mobile game Harry Potter: Wizards Unite. That means the studio is involved with three different on-going titles between that project, Pokemon GO, and Ingress.
Despite taking on Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, Niantic doesn’t intend to abandon Pokemon GO. The company said in a statement that the team is still “100% committed” to the game. Additionally, the Pokemon GO team is looking to expand, and we’ll be hearing about “upcoming improvements to certain features” next week.
It took some time, but Rockstar has finally started to show off what L.A. Noire looks like on Switch. Media began to pop up this week, and sites went hands-on with the game on Nintendo’s console. We also have some screenshots below.
The new Champions amiibo for Zelda: Breath of the Wild came out this week with each figure providing its own gear. Have a look at some footage of the unlocks below.
Mario Party: The Top 100 launched in North America yesterday. For a lengthy look at the game, have a look at the video below.
Splatoon 2’s latest weapon, the Inkbrush Nouveau, was added to the game a short while ago. See it in action with the gameplay below.
My Nintendo updates with new Zelda rewards in North America, Kirby Battle Royale 3DS theme in Europe

When a new game launches, fans tend to pick apart the files and codes in hopes of finding hidden secrets. That’s exactly what happened this week with Sonic Forces. Dataminers went to work and found a couple of interesting things that could be added to the game in the near future.
First, a “Sanic” t-shirt has been found. Sanic has become a meme over the years after one fan drew his interpretation of the character in the Windows Paint app. It would be… interesting to see that design in Sonic Forces, to say the least.
