Warner Bros. Interactive and developer NetherRealm Studios still have some characters to reveal for Injustice: Gods Among Us. A date for an announcement hasn’t been confirmed, but Ed Boon told one fan on Twitter: “We are working on it.”

Analyst: Wii U GameStop sales below expectations, Deluxe Set selling better
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
Sterne Agee analyst Arvind Bhatia has offered some insight into sales of the Wii U. Agee noted that GameStop sales this holiday fell below expectations in terms of both hardware and software. Available stock at the retailer is apparently “abundant.”
It should come as no surprise that the Wii U Deluxe Set is outperforming the Basic model. Thanks to the “better value” provided by the Deluxe Set, consumers have been more than willing to shell out the extra $50.
Discussing Wii U software specifically, Bhatia said the attach rate at GameStop is “low”.
Bhatia wrapped up with the following comment:
“Our conclusion is the Nintendo Wii U launch has been slightly disappointing.”

Miyamoto: Pikmin 3 will be more like the first game
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in GameCube, News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
Following the announcement of Pikmin 3 at last year’s E3, Shigeru Miyamoto said he wasn’t a huge fan of ditching the timer in Pikmin 2. He hinted that he was pushing for the mechanic’s return with the Wii U game.
In an interview with GamesMaster, Miyamoto once again stated that he wasn’t too big on the idea of removing the timed functionality.
When asked if the Pikmin 3 team had to make some important decisions about the direction of the series prior to development, Miyamoto said:

You know what’s odd? Receiving details about a western game through Japanese sources. EA has announced the Wii U version of Need for Speed: Most Wanted for Japan, confirming a release date and bringing out a bit of information.

Don’t count on late Wii U ports from Capcom
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
Capcom has announced one game for Wii U thus far: Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. The company has other titles in store for the console, but don’t expect late ports. That means the chances of seeing the likes of Resident Evil 6 and Lost Planet 3 on Wii U aren’t too high.
Capcom’s Christian Svensson said the following when asked about older ports for Wii U:
“With regard to WiiU, in general we’re looking forward, not back so late ports are generally not on the table.”
