As previously rumoured, a director’s cut of the popular game Deus Ex: Human Revolution will be making its way to the Wii U. Square Enix announced the the Wii U version will allow players to hack into computers using the touchscreen and make notes. The game will also feature deep Miiverse interaction. Eidos Montreal also promised improved boss battles.

The boss fights are now as they should have been. We took them and completely rebuilt them. We couldn’t change [the boss’ character] model and the way they need to die because of the story telling, but we changed the level layout. We tweaked their AI and we’ve added tons of ways to deal with them.You can deal with a boss fight in a stealth way, you can deal with a boss fight in a hacking way. We even have for each boss fight a way to kill them without firing a single bullet.

 

In an interview with NowGamer, Andy Tudor of Slightly Mad studios stated that the upcoming racing game will “look and feel amazing”. We’ve been following Project Cars ever since it was announced to be coming to the Wii U back in 2011 so it’s good to hear that the developers have high hopes for the title.

Andy Tudor also revealed that the game would run at 720p 30fps. Last month it was revealed that the game would be making it’s way to the Wii U in November of this year.

We always prefer to aim for 30fps generally in order to keep gameplay-specific features like having more cars on track or better weather effects etc. So that’s standard across all consoles, and we’re more likely to utilize the native 720p support of the Wii U for launch especially since our physics and rendering systems demand a lot of processing power in order to deliver a truly next-gen experience. All you need to know is that when you get the game, it’ll look and feel amazing and you’ll want to show it off to your friends.

Yacht Club games recently tweeted the picture to the left to show the banners they will be taking to PAX East. There is clearly a Nintendo Wii U logo at the bottom confirming that Shovel Knight will make its way to the Wii U.

The logos also confirm that the game will be making its way to the 3DS and Steam service.

Nintendo has revealed that Pokemon Rumble U will make use of the Gamepad’s NFC technology. Similarly to Skylanders, players will be able to buy figurines and bring them to life on the screen.

There will be seven figures available at the game’s launch: Lucario, Bulbasaur, Victini, Torchic, Piplup, Pikachu and a currently secret figure. Keep reading to check out the trailer.

New screenshot of Terra Incognita.

You might not have heard of Terra Incognita, the old school style RPG that will be making its way to the Nintendo Wii U. The game first came to light  when the developer Dan Steer created  a Kickstarter page for the nostalgia-inducing RPG. The Kickstarter was successful and reached the amount necessary for the game to make its way to Nintendo’s newest home console.

Wii U Go got in touch with Dan to find out more about the retro RPG adventure he was planning to bring to the Wii U.

Wii U Go: What made you decide to do an RPG in this style?

Dan: I have always loved classic RPGs, my favourite game of all time is Suikoden. I grew up playing all of the the classic retro rpgs people love to reminisce about now. In my opinion there are very few classic rps that pay homage to those awesome classic games! So I decided to make one. I am totally in love with the 16bit era look! So I went for that pixelly look, sharper sprites, kind of a mash up of styles. But cool!

Wii U Go: What made you choose the Wii U as a platform for Terra Incognita?

Dan: I didn’t really choose Nintendo, I was contacted about my game when it was in its early stages. I am so happy to be working with this platform in mind! I have always been a huge Nintendo nerd.

Wii U Go: Can you explain a bit about the story Wii U gamers will encounter?

Dan: As for the story in Terra Incognita, this is something we have been really secretive about. So this the first we have talked about it. The story is set on Terra. An ever changing world, its people are currently struggling through a civil war, the Valganis Imperial Army is Ruled by a cruel man. Lord Valganis. Who according to rumours, seems to wield some sort of magical ability. There is definitely more to this man than meets the eye. The player wakes with no memories except for his name, as you progress through the main story the players memories will come rushing back. And you will be left with some game changing decisions to make. The story will be deep and feature tales of Love, friendship, brotherhood and betrayal.

Wii U Go: Will the game make any particular use of the Wii U Gamepad’s features?

Dan: For the Gamepad, we are looking at using it for a clean inventory management, so the player can use items and equip gear on the move. Without having to pause the game and use the in game menu. Also for changing equipment/using special abilities in battle.

Wii U Go: Do you plan to develop more titles for the Wii U in the future?

Dan: As for developing more for Wii U in the future, I think we want to see how Terra is received first.  After all, Terra was initially meant to be a Windows/Mac only release. But we are very excited to see our game on a Nintendo console. Awesome!

Wii U Go: Is there are release window for the game that you can share with us?

Dan: As for a release timeline, Dec 2013 for Windows and then we will get straight down to it!

Dan: My favourite Nintendo series is Fire Emblem, Chris our new team member. Says Zelda!!!

There have been rumours that a port of the Deus Ex: Human Revolution game will be making its way to the Wii U. What do you think Square Enix has in mind for Nintendo’s newest console?

In an interview with Ninty Chronicle, Collin van Ginkel of Two Tribes revealed that they would really like to make a Star Fox game for the Nintendo Wii U.

I think we could make a damn fine Star fox game for Wii U. Yes, a classic Star fox game would be awesome to work on.

The Two Tribes developers have recently finished Toki Tori 2 for the Wii U.

The new screenshots show three new characters in the upcoming title and one of the pictures shows a character holding a device that  seems to have a resemblance to the Wii U Gamepad.

No set date has been announced for the game yet but it is due to be released sometime  in the second quarter. This means it could arrive any time after April and before July (I’m hoping for April the 1st). Keep reading for those delicious new screens.
