Already we’ve seen a number of devs both […]

How exactly will the online component for the Wii U function when that console launches this November? Heck if I know! But I would assume that some developers know at this point since the console is so close to its release date. That would make sense, right? Well, it seems that even devs may not be sure about how the […]

Some game listings have popped up on Nintendo’s official site. According to a report on

While Nintendo previously mentioned that the Wii U can support dual GamePad play, it doesn’t look like that’s a feature we’ll be seeing at launch. Hell, you won’t even be able to purchase a standalone GamePad when the Wii U first hits the scene. “None of the launch window titles support dual GamePad play,” said Nintendo Product Marketing Manager Bill […]

During its Wii U presentation, Nintendo revealed that Platinum Games was developing Bayonetta 2 exclusively for the Wii U.

Update: We hate to dampen hopes, but it turns out Wii U Daily misinterpreted a statement from Take-Two’s earnings call, which was referring to a “hypothetical” version of BioShock Infinite for Wii U. Meaning, if Infinite if were to — y’know, conceivably hit the Wii U, it’d arrive after the 360 and PS3 equivalents. Furthermore, creative director Ken Levine mentioned in a […]

As much as a lot of potential Wii U owners would love for Bethesda to currently have some cool projects in line for Nintendo’s upcoming platform, that’s not exactly the case.

Late last month, Crytek’s Mike Read stated that Crysis 3 on the Wii U could definitely happen. As is customary internet practice, folks took what the producer said in a completely erroneous light, jumping to the conclusion that the game was, in fact, being developed for Nintendo’s upcoming console. Now, this obviously doesn’t apply to everyone in the gaming community, […]
