Wii U is the lead platform for Darksiders 2? Since when? This is news to me!

Damn. It's been an awesome thread. I can't really even read through many of the comments. This thread is threads within threads. I wish there's a way to organize it, like tabs in a thread... or something.
It sucks that Nintendo is this secretive about their products; It's April and we still don't know much more than before when it was first announced. Hope to hear some news before E3. I can't wait!

Anyway, great job. I don't need to go anywhere to find info on Wii U. Hopefully, most of the news here are true.

Zipper's employees have a lot of valuable info about online play (remember MAG?), something that Retro/Nintendo will surely need/find very useful.

I doubt it.

We know it is easier to enhance a game for a more powerful system than to cut it down to fit a not so powerful one. Besides this game must have been in development since the last one launched, and by the that time Nintendo wasn't sure about the specs of WiiU (I mean, are they even sure about them now?).

(Somewhat related to the Wii U....)

Epic Mickey producer Warren Spector has told Eurogamer that gamers need to take a “chill pill” regarding the musical sections of Epic Mickey: The Power of Two. The songs themselves are only featured in skippable cut scenes, and they won’t involve you grabbing a microphone and singing along.

“I’ve been itching to talk about the game and the songs for a while,” he said. “When we announced the game, I sort of threw it out there, because I’m so proud and so happy. I saw the look of fear in people’s eyes. I’m like, what the heck is going on? Doesn’t everybody love musicals? I realised I had to explain things.

“I look at guys like you in the audience on the press side, and similarly at Disney when I look out at execs, about 70 per cent of them are going, yeah. About 30 per cent are going, are you kidding?”

“I just want to see how people respond to the music and the songs,” he said. “They’re not interactive by design. Later on, I hope maybe we get to do that in some other game, sometime in the future. But I feel like I have to reassure that 30 per cent that it’s okay. If you don’t want to experience that part of the game you can just bypass it.

“I’ve seen the look on people’s faces. I’m reacting to something very specific and real I’ve seen, not worried that there might be a specific reaction. I’m reacting to the reaction, okay? It’s a change. Earlier, I didn’t expect that reaction, so I was just throwing it out there. Now I feel like I have to tell people, it’s okay.

“I don’t think I was clear at the start it wasn’t singing into a microphone or beatmatch. I should have been clear about that, and I wasn’t.

“I want everybody to just take a chill pill and relax about this. I’m not going to make you sing into a microphone. I’m not going to make you dance in front of your TV. I’m not going to make you beatmatch. This is just a fun way to honour a part of Disney’s history. If you don’t like that part of Disney’s history, skip it.”

Wii U launch date reportedly mid-November?

The same unnamed developers who told Games Industry International that the Wii U is less powerful than Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 has revealed that you can only use one Wii U controller per console. It’s always been a little up the air how many tablet controllers the Wii U supports, but it seems as though it’s pretty much official that you will only be able to use one per console. We should know for sure at E3.

“The whole thing about the tablet controller is that you only get one of them, and you can only use one and it’s not completely independent,” noted the source. “The base console has to be on, and you have to be in range.” Queried about other controllers, the source was clear: “Other controllers are just Wiimotes, or other Wii controllers. They may change the form factor or looks a bit, but it’s the same controller.”

Nintendo has told Game Informer’s Jim Reilly that the company doesn’t comment on rumour or speculation when they were quizzed about the rumoured Wii U release date leak. Kotaku hasalready questioned the validity of the rumour stating that the original source’s track record was unreliable.

(Sorry for the double post! Just too much news at one time! XD )

Thanks for the updates guys!!
