We have a few new screenshots of LEGO Marvel’s Avengers in the gallery below. They specifically show the Nintendo versions of the game. LEGO Marvel’s Avengers on Wii U definitely looks similar to its other console counterparts, but this is our first look at the title on 3DS – which has an open world hub, by the way.
Maxime Beaudoin worked at Ubisoft for several years as a technical architect. Last year, he left the company and founded his own studio. Beaudoin thought it would make sense to look back at his time at Ubisoft in a personal blog post.
One interesting part of the piece has Beaudoin speaking about porting Assassin’s Creed III to Wii U. It was no easy task due to the technical challenges involved, but in the end, the team managed to get it done.
Beaudoin wrote:
After PoP, I contributed on several games here and there, and eventually landed on a technically very challenging project: porting Assassin’s Creed 3 on the WiiU. This was very different from my previous work. The team was super small: we were 2 programmers at the beginning, and at the peak I think we were like 15 or something.
Capcom has prepared a new set of screenshots from Mega Man Legacy Collection. We’ve rounded up the latest images below.
It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart! Dragon Quest XI takes a dive, and falls a few spots down the list.
Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between January 7 and January 13.
A new tweet about Twilight Princess HD was just posted on the Japanese Zelda Twitter page. Once again, “Malo” is the one who shared today’s message. This time we have a recap of Wolf Link’s abilities.
Here’s the tweet:
“…It’s Malo. It’s the first time I’ve seen someone being able to transform into a wolf without having to see the moon… So with sharpened senses, he can look at things that normally couldn’t be seen, track with scents, and even put up a barrier to attack (referring to the shadow circle)… Isn’t that surpassing the boundary of a wolf…?”
We’ve also included the newest screenshot from Twilight Princess HD above.
Capcom has uploaded videos for two upcoming Mega Man Legacy Collection 3DS themes. We’ve included them below.
Natsume recently published another video for Harvest Moon: Seeds of Memories on mobile, which you can see below. This is likely the last one we’ll be posting until we hear more about the Wii U version.

Slain! has been delayed once again. Wolf Brew Games and Digerati Distribution now plan to have the title ready on March 24 for PC, followed by other platforms including Wii U sometime between May and July.
The main reason behind this latest delay is difficulty. “Right now no mortal man or woman could possibly get past Slain!’s intense platforming, traps and monstrosities,” Wolf Brew Games said in a recent statement.
Thanks to Cho for the tip.
