Now before you freak out from the title and say crap like, "THIS MEANS THE WII U SUCKS, HERPDERP", lemme tell you this: if the 360 and PS3 versions run great and the Wii U version runs just like them, that means the Wii U can run high-quality graphics and complex engines with ease.

This is a good sign for the Wii U, as Assassin's Creed III's creative director, Alex Hutchinson, has said that he's glad they didn't have to remove or replace anything in the game to get it to work on the Wii U. His exact words are posted below.

“I’m super excited whenever we demo the Wii U. It is exactly the same game that’s on the other platforms. And I know that sounds ridiculous, but it’s been a long time since I’ve shipped a game on more than three platforms where you could say it’s all the same. It’s not like some radically diminished version, so that’s exciting.”

Capcom has stated that Ace Attorney 5 for the 3DS will feature a full voice cast for its anime-like cutscenes. They apparently switched from chiptune noises to voice acting because the original sound files used for the DS game would not work on the 3DS properly. I'm also guessing that they would want to take full advantage of the new hardware's capabilities and show what they can really do with it.

SEGA took to the Sonic Stadium forums today and confirmed that voice chat will not be featured in the Wii U version of Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, simply because it's a launch title (which sounds like a load of crap to me, but alright). Voice chat will, however, be in the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game.

The first Wii U advert is now syndicating in the UK. It's about a minute long and is a lot more formal; it describes everything about the Wii U in a list instead of showing it in a skit or another gimmicky manner, probably to clear up all the confusion about the console when it was first announced. The video has been imbedded below for you to watch.

The achievements for Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed are out on the Internet for your viewing pleasure, and they're packed with plenty of SEGA references (with some interesting ones being "Blast Proccessing" and "It Takes AGES"). You can see the entire list, with icons, names, descriptions, and gamerscores, here.

I, along with a large chunk of the Pokémon fanbase, have been waiting for quite a long time for news regarding a remake for Ruby and Sapphire. Judging by the current pattern of a remake being put out two generations after the original game, I assumed we'd get a remake by the end of this generation, and half of me wants to believe we'll still get one.

But, sadly, this is most likely not the case.
