"Sega is excited about Wii U's digital distribution. Multiple XBLA/PSN games coming to Wii U. Sega will give official announcement soon."

Now that does not mean its true, but as Emily, was right about Star Beat who knows.

Is Need for Speed Most Wanted coming to Wii U

Last week, i mentioned that my local EB Games, had a dummy box for the new need for speed game.

Whilst i have yet to get a photo of it, its the same art as the xbox 360, PS3 and PC versions, but with EB's Wii U banner.

Over the weekend another story popped up from Brazil.



"Ok, I promised the Facebook and now it's time to open the tip: I found two games that have not yet been announced for the Wii U, but that will leave the island when it is released. The games are Need for Speed: Most Wanted and F1 Race Stars ."

Hyrule Historia English Translation Inbound





Richard George from IGN has been in touch with Dark Horse Comics regarding the upcoming English localization of The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia, and his contacts have revealed a few bits of information about the translated version. Apparently it’ll be larger in size than its Japanese counterpart – I presume this means the dimensions of the actual book – and will contain every bit of text from the original, including artwork notes and other small tidbits.
According to Rich, Nintendo was responsible for proposing the localization of the book to Dark Horse as opposed to the other way around. Dark Horse and Nintendo have been looking for an opportunity to collaborate “for several years,” and this seemed like the best chance to get started.
