1001 Spikes finally received off-TV play support on Wii U through an update that came out a few days ago. While the feature is a great addition, the patch has unfortunately resulted in a few major issues.

The biggest problem we’re hearing about is related to controls. After applying the update, right on the d-pad crouches and pressing the left stick pauses the game instead of start. Basically, there are some notable control mapping issues. There are also other problems like being unable to access the options settings.

It took Nicalis a very long time to patch in off-TV play for 1001 Spikes. I just hope that it won’t take as long for these new bugs to be addressed!

The latest issue of Jump has revealed two new assist characters for Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden. Dr. Wheelo and Jackie Chun will both be included, the magazine confirms.

Dr. Wheelo is the antagonist of the Dragon Ball Z: The World’s Strongest film, and is a scientist with a cyborg body who experiments in biotechnology. Jackie Chun, meanwhile, is Master Roshi’s alternate identity used to enter a tournament and disguise himself from his students.

In Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden, assist characters come in the form of Bulma’s inventions from Capsule and Chichi’s fury. The latter feature fills the screen with a giant speech balloon of her venting.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.
