Nintendo has cleared up some confusion pertaining to its Wii U reveal at VGX in just a couple of hours. The game has been previously announced – so unfortunately, no Zelda Wii U news tonight! Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze has come up as a popular possibility, though Super Smash Bros., X, Yarn Yoshi, and Mario Kart 8 were also revealed previously.

After approval by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court this past Thursday, Atari is preparing to enter the world of business again after filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy back in January of 2013. The company (Atari Inc.) will get $3.4 million from its parent company (Atari S.A.) to get it out of bankruptcy, and then another $1.75 million to restart operations and try to turn a profit. No specific plans have been revealed for what they might do differently this time around, but we’ll likely hear news soon enough.
