WiiU hype is already on the air...

I get legitimately excited for so very few things

Nintendo E3 conferences still do it for me though

I look THOSE WiiU rumors =D

Well I've got some good news and some bad news...

Bad news first! :D

THQ's Metro: Last Light is no longer a confirmed Wii U release. It could still happen... but for now the Wii U version is on the back-burner while they work on the PS3/X360/PC versions

Good news now! :D

at least we know for certain now that the Nintendo Power reveal isn't M:LL

I thought for sure that it would be... outline of USSR, "comrade"...

Well if the cover is something completely random this month we'll know why.

As long as they don't go back on their word on Darksiders2 coming to WiiU! Else I'll have to destroy THQ personally..
