Super Smash Bros. for Wii U appears to be causing major issues for some users.
Players have encountered error code 160-0103, which may be caused by the game’s update data. The error seems to occur at random points though some say it happens after playing For Glory and booting the Wii U again.
Error code 160-0103 may stem from update data created by Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. While all other parts of the console can be accessed, the real trouble begins when launching Smash or the Data Management page.
Opening the latter results in error code 160-1710. After seeing this code, Wii U owners have encountered issues like complete Wii U memory wipes and bricked systems.
Those who came across the original error are apparently advised to format their systems. However, they’re then presented with the second error code with no option but to send in their console to Nintendo.
Despite all of these issues, Nintendo is said to be working on a fix.
Space Hulk is in development for Wii U, HR Games has announced. The game is due out sometime next year via the eShop.
Space Hulk is a 3D turn-based strategy game based on the best-selling board game. It takes place in the Warhammer 40,000 universe.
Here’s an official overview:
Space Hulk is set in the isolated corridors and tomb-like chambers of an ancient vessel lost in the graveyard of space. Players lead a small army of fearless Space Marine Terminators to battle in a ferocious fight for survival against hordes of predatory alien Genestealers. Based on the “Sin of Damnation” campaign from the 3rd edition board game, Space Hulk includes a robust 12 mission single-player campaign, a co-operative campaign, Blood Angel and Space Wolf Chapters and many other thrilling missions! Recreating the tense battles of the board game, multiplayer mode will allow players to go head-to-head as one player controls the Space Marines and their opponent the Genestealers, in the ultimate fight for domination.

Earlier this year Dutch electronics company Phillips, filed a lawsuit against Nintendo for what they felt was a patent infringement related to their patent on “Virtual Body Control Device” as well as “User Interface System Based on Pointing Device.
Initially Phillips was asking for not only monetary compensation but also a ban on selling the Wii and Wii U.
Then in June in the UK High courts, Phillips won an early victory with Nintendo set to appeal.
Now today we learn that the two companies have now reached an agreement with Nintendo releasing this statement:
Nintendo today announced that it has entered into a global patent license agreement with Royal Philips (NYSE:PHG, AEX: PHIA). As part of the agreement, Nintendo and Philips will cross license portions of each company’s patent portfolio. This agreement ends patent invalidity proceedings brought against Philips by Nintendo in multiple countries, as well as patent infringement proceedings brought by Philips against Nintendo.
“We are pleased to have reached agreement with Philips, as it demonstrates that both companies recognize the importance of intellectual property rights,” said Martina Franke, European General Counsel of Nintendo of Europe. “Nintendo has a substantial IP portfolio and a long history of developing innovative products while respecting valid intellectual property rights of others.”
Financial details and other terms of the license agreement will not be disclosed.
A new system update for the Wii U has been released. The download will fix issues that some users were having with uploading highlight reels from Mario Kart 8 to YouTube. As usual, the update will also “improve system stability” and “enhance the user experience”.
Like Fred Durst, our series of “Best of DS” lists keeps on rollin’ with a double feature of the top five most under-appreciated and disappointing titles on the console. Let’s start off with the good and recognise the games that might have scored well with critics, but fell under the radar for whatever reason.
Even though I’m happy with the games you guys picked, the “most under-appreciated” might also be the “most unnecessary” list, because how do you use a popularity contest to determine if something is the most under-appreciated? Of course, the deepest cuts were the ones that didn’t get enough votes to make the list so consider the real victors to be Bangai-O Spirits and Kira Kira: Pop Princess:

Square Enix recently teased that a demo for Bravely Second is coming soon. Now we have a specific date.
Over on Bravely Second’s official website, Square Enix confirms that the game’s demo is slated for December 10. We should receive specifics of the trial next week.
The Samus amiibo had some interaction with the Moscow Metro gates, though it wouldn’t actually let you board the transit system for free. Here’s a look at whether some of the amiibo figures work with the Boston subway. The results probably shouldn’t shock you!
