A representative from Nintendo of America has confirmed that the company will not have a booth at this year’s Comic-Con.
This marks the first time in four years that Nintendo will not be having a presence at NYCC. In 2013, Eiji Aonuma stopped by and hosted a panel for The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds.
Just a few minutes ago, Nintendo released the newest firmware update for Wii U. The system’s software is now at version 5.2.0.
Included in today’s update is the addition of folders. Changes have also been made to the Wii U Menu and Quick Start Menu.
Here’s a full rundown of the new firmware:
Mografi, the indie developer behind Jenny LeClue, has become an official Wii U developer.
That news comes from the game’s official Twitter account, which posted the following today:

Might this mean that Jenny LeClue will end up on Wii U? It certainly looks possible!
You can get a look at Jenny LeClue in the video below. It’s described as “a handmade, 2D, exploration based, adventure game with a focus on story, character, and mystery.”
Manfred Linzner from Shin’en confirmed a couple of technical aspects for FAST Racing Neo over on NeoGAF. The game will run at 720p and 60 frames per second, according to Linzner. Shin’en is working its technical magic as usual!
Bringing Project CARS to Wii U was a bit of a challenge, based on comments made by Slightly Mad Studios’ Andy Tudor. Speaking with Eurogamer, Tudor said:
“There are significant hurdles that we’ve had to get over, and that’s kind of expected. But the fact we can have weather, time of day, a significant number of cars on screen, it’s actually really promising.”
Project CARS is launching later this year on various platforms. However, the Wii U version won’t ship until 2015.
