Next months issue of Nintendo Power will reportedly contain information about a yet to be announced game. There’s no hints regarding what the title will actually be, but my guess would be Epic Mickey 2, which we already know is secretly in development at Disney. Which game do you think will be announced?

“There will be no fooling around when it comes to our April issue. We’ll have the final word on Kid Icarus: Uprising and Xenoblade Chronicles in our full reviews, and get an exclusive whiff of a top-secret title that promises to make your head spin”.

Everyone’s favourite games analyst Michael Pachter has told AdWeek that he doesn’t believe the Wii U will be supported by games publishers.The research analyst who works for Wedbush Morgan also remains unconvinced that Nintendo will be able to successfully court the big named media companies that Nintendo is chasing with Wii U.

Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter hadn’t heard about Nintendo’s overtures to the media business, but label him a doubter. “I don’t know if they have the chops to pull it off,” he said. Pachter’s not even sure about the prospects of the Wii U as a gaming platform. “I don’t think game publishers are going to support it.”

Team Ninja has uploaded five minutes of ultra-violent footage from the forthcoming Ninja Gaiden 3 onto Youtube. Ninja Gaiden 3 is already confirmed as a launch title for Wii U so expect to see it sometime later this year. I presume the footage shown in the video is from the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions, but the Wii U version shouldn’t be too different.

Amazon Advertised Call Of Duty Black Ops 2 And Then Promptly Took It Down, Activison Mad

Amazon France apparently advertised a product page for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 and then quickly pulled it down according to Gameblog. We already know that Activision are set to release another instalment of the immensely popular Call of Duty franchise this year, but the publisher has yet to confirm the name or the setting.

When Gameblog published the news Activision stepped in and demanded they take the news article down and when the blog refused to comply Acitvision disinvited the site from a preview event for Transformers: Fall of Cybertron and canceled advertising campaigns it had with the website. I guess Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 is pretty much official then.

Online gaming publication Kotaku has uncovered a patent filing from Nintendo which shows that the company was originally flirting with the idea of a 3D HD touch screen for Wii U.
