It still remains unknown whether or not Wii U supports two tablet controllers. The leaked Rayman Legends trailer suggested that it only supports one device, but new information from a forum member at Neogaf claims that documents Nintendo Europe‘s representatives and distributors got last August confirm that Wii U will indeed support two tablet controllers.
David Gibson, Head of Software & Services for Macquarie Capital Securities Japan, has revealed via Twitter that it’s fairly unlikely that Capcom will bring Monster Huntrer Tri G for The Nintendo 3DS to the West due to below expected sales of Monster Hunter Tri on Wii.
@gibbogame could you say if there is any hope for Monster Hunter 3G will be localized in America anytime this year? #MHfan
@LiteDrg0nS1ay3R capcom keep saying its unlikely as audience not there based on the wii game
Konami has teased that the rumoured Castlevania: Lords of Shadow sequel is in the works. The developers posted a Castlevania inspired image on their new teaser website, prompting many to assume that it’s related to the Castlevania franchise. You may remember earlier this week that the Paul Gale Network revealed that the game is in development for Wii U and will be shown off at E3 in a couple of weeks.
Namco Bandai’s release schedule suggests that there is a brand new Tekken title in development for the Nintendo 3DS. Tekken 3DS is listed alongside Tekken for Wii U which could mean that both titles will compliment each other in someway.
Rockstar has yet to put a date on the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto V, but it would seem that a member of Xbox Support could be privy to insider information. The Xbox Support member informed a Twitter user that the next instalment of Grand Theft Auto will be arriving this year. We should find out when Rockstar plans to release GTA V at E3 in a couple of weeks.
@TheRealDubster The next title, Grand Theft Auto 5, will be out later this year :) ^BB

Paul Gale, who first reported on PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, is reporting that Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 is coming to Wii U. Gale claims that Mercury Steam will be providing a “safe” port of the game which is also coming to Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Playstation Vita. The development studio will apparently be debuting the game at E3.
A developer claiming to be from Ubisoft Milan has posted a batch of Wii U related information on an Italian message board. The developer believes that the price for Wii U will be between $350 – $450, and that the system will launch on November 23rd. Nintendo isn’t expected to reveal pricing or a release date until sometime after E3.
Nintendo might be planning to sell the Wii for $99 sometime later this year. The rumour comes from a Kmart employee who managed to take a snap of the revised pricing for the console from the company’s database. It would make sense for Nintendo to announce a price drop for Wii during E3 as the company shifts its focus onto Wii U, which is due for release later this year. We should know for certain in just a couple of weeks.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow producer David Cox and director Enric Alvare are apparently busy developing Castlevania: Mirror Of Faith for the Nintendo 3DS. The site that published the rumour claims that the development team will show off the game at E3.
A source close to UK trade publication MCV has told the publication that the recently leaked Wii U controller will feature clickable analogue sticks. The revised controller – which was revealed by a QA tester at Traveller’s Tales, is apparently based on an older design which has been given the go-ahead due to developer feedback.
