For the most part, the team behind LEGO Dimensions managed to include the games they wanted to in the new Midway Arcade pack. There were a couple that were scrapped though. Mortal Kombat and APB both did not make it into the final product.
Mark Warburton, associate producer of LEGO Dimensions, explained to Polygon that Mortal Kombat didn’t make it in given the main demographic the game is targeted at. In the end, it just wasn’t the best fit.
Warburton said:
“There was an age consideration. We had to take into account the typical age of our players and what sort of content we usually have. Some of the more mature games we decided we didn’t think was the right fit for the game.”
PixlCross is coming to the North American Wii U eShop next week. It’s planned for PAL regions as well, but it’ll be another couple of months before it arrives. Developer Nick DiMola told 4colorrebellion that it’s targeted for mid-May in Europe and Australia.
DiMola also commented on the possibility of a 3DS port. Here’s what he said on that front:
“So the sticky situation with this is that we’ve built PixlCross on top of the Nintendo Web Framework. Unfortunately, that makes porting it to other console platforms a bit tough. Natively, the game runs in a browser, so it’s easy to port to PC/Mac/Linux. If we start talking about the 3DS, it means rewriting the game in native code, which is not something that’s currently within my capabilities.
The New 3DS would be a more likely target for us, but it still means a total rewrite in Unity. Unity would also give us the flexibility to bring the game to other platforms like the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One. All of that’s a longwinded way of saying, we’re thinking about it. If we do pretty decently on the Wii U, it’ll make the rewrite in Unity seem much more appealing!”

HORI is readying another Wii U GamePad protector. Amazon has a listing up for a retro-styled Zelda design, which is pictured above. The page says that Wii U owners can protect the front and back of the GamePad with the plastic protector featuring 8-bit artwork from the NES game.

When Nintendo put up the English Miitomo site, it included a small note that the app would be available in March. Now, however, this has been removed entirely.
Here’s what the page originally looked like:
And what it shows now:
It doesn’t make much sense to speculate as to what’s happening with Miitomo’s launch outside of Japan right now. If we don’t see it by the end of next Thursday, then we’ll know something’s up!
