No Wii U exclusives in the top 40

Last week we were rather pleased to report that Luigi's Mansion 2 secured 5th place in the UK all-format chart for the second week running; maintaining a top 10 place beyond launch week is relatively rare for 3DS titles in the region. That was an excellent achievement, but even better news this week is that Luigi is...

Last week Batman: Arkham Origins was announced for Wii U and other platforms.

Needs to hit $55,000 funding target

If you cast your mind back a couple of weeks, you'll recall that we were the first site to break the news about Buddy & Me, a title from Sunbreak Games — a studio founded by former Metroid Prime developer Jason Behr. Behr revealed at the time that a Wii U eShop edition of the game was a possibility, but...

They'd sure have strange outfits

Toyzone offering a Wii U for as little as R1,500

In order to help boost Wii U sales, many UK retailers decided to cut the price of the system.

It seems heavy price drops aren't exclusive to the UK though, as it...

Croodités

Delicious DLC, or horrifyingly disappointing add-ons?

The upcoming Resident Evil Revelations re-release on Wii U is bringing some new features over its 3DS original — there'll be an "infernal" difficulty level, off-screen play for that, er, unique handheld experience, and you'll be able to troll other players by giving monsters speech bubbles with...
