"We have no games in development for the Wii U currently," EA spokesperson Jeff Brown told Kotaku. There was no mention of whether EA would ever resume Wii U development.

The confirmation of EA's abstinence is the latest chapter in a bizarre story that began with EA vowing to have an "unprecented partnership" with Nintendo and the Wii U back at E3 2011. The company launched Mass Effect 3, Need for Speed Underground, Madden NFL 13 and FIFA 13 at or near the console's launch, but there have been no EA games released since then. (Brown also told Kotaku that these games were EA delivering on the aforementioned partnership.) Various rumors and reports have found their way around the internet, ranging from a response to low Wii U sales to EA not being allowed to run Origin on the Wii U. Whatever the reason, EA has given Nintendo the cold shoulder, meaning the Wii U is now without one of the biggest third-party developers in the industry. Time will tell what affect that has on Nintendo's fledgling console.

“Sonic the Hedgehog has proven incredibly successful on Nintendo platforms and we are pleased to continue our long-standing relationship with Nintendo,” said Preisdent & COO of Sega of America, John Cheng. “As we initiate this new exclusive partnership with the next three titles we believe that Wii U™ and Nintendo 3DS™ are ideal platforms to showcase the evolution of the Sonic brand.”

Not much is known about Sonic: Lost World, other than the one still shot of Sonic flying to a strange hexagonal world from the Nintendo Direct presentation. As for Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, that likely will be what everyone expects.

“Yes, we’re discontinuing Online Pass,” EA's senior director of corporate communications, John Reseburg told GamesBeat. “None of our new EA titles will include that feature. Initially launched as an effort to package a full menu of online content and services, many players didn’t respond to the format. We’ve listened to the feedback and decided to do away with it moving forward."

The Online Pass program prevented players who bought an EA game used from using online features, requiring a $10 activation fee. New copies of the game shipped with an online access code in the box. EA was not the only company using the Online Pass idea; Ubisoft and Sony are among the other publishers that have used it before.

Gran Turismo 6 will include the cars and tracks from Gran Turismo 5 as well as adding more of each. The total will be about 1,200 cars and 33 tracks with 71 different layouts available.

“It is amazing to think that it is 15 years since we first released Gran Turismo,” said Polyphony Digital CEO Kazunori Yamauchi. “Things have changed a lot since then and now Gran Turismo 6 is a further evolution of my dream. We’re pleased to deliver GT 6 to PlayStation 3 as we have a very loyal community on that platform. However, we have refactored the game to make it very flexible and expandable, with a view to making many future developments."

Black Rock Shooter: The Game is a video game (yes) based on the manga/anime series, Black Rock Shooter (for real). If you’re already a fan of the series, this game should be on your radar and you’ll likely excuse its shortcomings and enjoy the game. If not, it’s not such a clear cut decision.

Earth has been attacked by aliens and humanity is down to its final twelve members. Survival for the human species appears to be at its end, but they have one ace up their sleeve, a barely-clothed girl with an enormous energy cannon, code-named Black Rock Shooter (BRS). Awakened from her slumber, the girl decimates the alien force attacking the humans and becomes the key player in humanity’s plan to take back Earth.

That kind of story has the potential to be very compelling, but it’s not executed well. There is not much of an emotional connection with the characters. Occasional radio chatter serves to create an identity for each of the humans, but it’s not a very strong identity. I mostly ignored my human comrades and did not feel much for their plights. Had this been done better, it could have been a much stronger background story.

Much more interesting in Black Rock Shooter: The Game is the battle system. Walking up to an enemy in the field causes a transition to a battlefield where various enemies appear. Some will approach you to use melee attacks while others stay back and launch ranged attacks. BRS’s main attack is her energy cannon, which fires energy blasts at whatever target she has locked on to. Various skills can be unlocked throughout the game which will give BRS new attacks or support skills. Up to four can be equipped to the PSP’s face buttons at one time. Effective use of these skills can help to bring down bosses (my go-to combination was Aggressor for an ATK/DEF boost, Stun Snipe to stun a foe, then Blade Kill, which does extra damage to stunned enemies).

But you won’t be able to spam your cannon, as BRS has a heat meter that must be managed at all times during battle. Firing her cannon will increase the heat gauge and the more the heat gauge rises, the weaker those energy shots become. The heat also comes into play for dodging and guarding. Dodging an enemy’s attack will increase the heat gauge further. Guarding will not, but it prevents BRS from cooling down. If the gauge reaches 100%, BRS will overheat and be unable to take any actions for several seconds, exposing her to enemy attack. This makes every attack a strategic decision – do you continue the offensive and risk overheating, or be more timid to keep the gauge down and be more ready to dodge? This is the type of decision not often seen in RPGs and it makes battles interesting, even when facing waves of similar enemies throughout the campaign.

Other elements of the gameplay are weak. When outside of battle, you guide BRS through generic settings where each screen looks much like the last and there isn’t much of interest. You can perform various actions (such as jumping up broken buildings) at pre-defined points in the world, but you have to be in the exact right spot to trigger this, which is annoying because BRS can only run and not walk, even if you just tap the D-Pad. There are several driving missions in the game where you can dodge and attack enemies on the road to charge up the motorbike’s lasers, which kill everything in sight. It sounds fun, but it’s really more of a chore, as BRS can only kill an enemy if you dodge at the exact moment before you would get hit by the enemy.

This is a PSP game from 2011, so one cannot expect Black Rock Shooter: The Game to match the graphical output of current handhelds. But even by 2011 standards, this game’s graphics are mediocre. Character models are decent but many games do better, while backgrounds and environments are repetitive and nondescript; the experience feels like an unwelcome blast from gaming’s past. It is sorely lacking in interesting visuals, especially compared to its anime counterpart. As for audio, the sound effects convey what is happening in the game pretty well, and the music is good for the setting, if unspectacular. The game has not been dubbed in English, so all voices are in Japanese with accompanying English subtitles.

The single player adventure will take around 10-15 hours for a first playthrough. After beating each stage, Free Hunt mode is unlocked which allows players to free roam without being bolted down by specific mission requirements. There’s enough content here to justify Black Rock Shooter’s $20 price tag, but you have to be ready to endure plenty of repetition.

The Call of Duty series made several appearances on the Wii, and Black Ops II released on Wii U, so a Wii U title would not be a surprise at all.

What we do know is that TeamPixel lost out on the Homeworld IP. TeamPixel is in the process of creating their own Homeworld-inspired game, but also created a Kickstarter in an attempt to purchase rights to the RTS franchise. They raised $58,644 (and $13,675 on Indiegogo), but this was not enough to win the Homeworld IP. TeamPixel is now refunding its backers while turning its focus back to its own RTS.

UPDATE: A source tells Joystiq that the winners will be revealed Monday afternoon.

Specifically, the investor report mentions a "decline in quality of titles outsourced to overseas developers" as its major issue. For this reason, Capcom has cancelled current projects that had been outsourced to third parties, due to an internal review determining that these games are incompatible with the company's new focus.

To improve, Capcom will use a three-pronged plan: Move game development in-house to increase quality, strengthen their digital strategies and improve coordination within the marketing and development divisions.

Amami City is the realized vision of the future, where every home has a computer connected to the internet, regulated by the government to provide every need. In the network is a program called Paradigm X, a virtual world offering all the amenities that a person could ever dream of. It’s truly amazing, and everyone wants to be selected as a beta tester. However, you (the main character) and your best friend, Hitomi, don’t want to wait. So together, you use your hacking skills to place your name in the latest wave of beta invitations. With this trickery, you get into the Paradigm X beta and experience its wonders for the first time… and then things go completely downhill from there. Facing this difficult situation is the group of hackers you’re associated with, the Spookies.

Soul Hackers is much like the other old-school Shin Megami Tensei games. Dungeon exploring is done from a first-person viewpoint while walking on a grid that allows for four-directional movement. As a Devil Summoner, you will not only face off against a myriad of demons but also convince them to join your side. By talking to demons during battle, you can hold conversations with them. Through the correct conversational choices, you can successfully negotiate with a demon to have them join your team.

Once the demon is on your team, the next step is to increase their loyalty. That requires careful observations of which attacks or spells the demon likes to do when you don’t command it, and then commanding the demon to use those moves. Choosing the same move as the demon would have chosen boosts their loyalty. Once the loyalty is maxed, the demon will take all of your orders for any of its abilities. But before then, selecting an ability it doesn’t like will cause it to either choose its own ability or ignore you entirely, doing nothing. Repeatedly going against its wishes will drain loyalty to the point where the demon might leave the party entirely. Demons cannot level up, so raising their loyalty can be seen as the equivalent of “grinding” in this game. But it doesn’t take nearly as long to raise loyalty as it does to grind levels in other RPGs, so you won’t have to spend much time grinding in Soul Hackers.

A demon’s personality determines what attacks it will prefer to use. Wild demons like physical attacks, Kind demons prefer healing spells, and so on. There are also some additional bonuses, such as a Sly demon being able to help you negotiate with other demons.

In the dungeons, demons survive on the force of a currency called magnetite. Summoning a demon in a dungeon costs magnetite and every step you take costs magnetite. As such, it’s important to consistently battle and defeat demons to keep your magnetite amount high. If it’s high enough, you won't have to worry about running out. There’s a shop in Shibahama that converts money to magnetite, if you’re in a bind.

Demon fusion is a staple of the Shin Megami Tensei series and appears yet again in Soul Hackers. Much like the other games in the series, demons are fused together to create brand new demons with new stats and skills. Since demons do not level up, this is the best way to improve the strength of your team and pass on the skills you desire to new demons. A Demon Compendium is available to re-summon demons at the cost of magnetite. Demons can also be fused with swords to create more powerful weaponry for the main character. Some of these fusions will change the sword from Slash to magic damage, which will make up for the main character’s inability to use magic.

It is difficult to beat Soul Hackers, much like any SMT game, but there are a number of options to assist those in need. An easy mode is available for SMT beginners. Also, at any point in the game, you can raise or lower the difficulty, reveal the full map on the bottom screen, waive the requirement of summoning only demons similar to the party’s current demon alignment and have the ability to see all strengths/weaknesses for all of the opposing demons. With these hacks, Soul Hackers can either become a more accessible adventure or an extremely difficult game, whichever you want it to be.

Your COMP, in addition to storing demons, can also be upgraded with various add-ons. Likely the most useful one to you will be Back-Upper, the ability to save anywhere (you otherwise can only save at Spookies HQ or various terminals in the dungeons). Many other add-ons exist, which can heal, increase/decrease encounter rate, improve your negotiation with demons and much more. You only have a limited number of slots to install add-ons, however, so you must pick and choose.

There’s nothing to write home about when it comes to the graphics. This was originally a Sega Saturn game and the visuals have not been updated much. The user interface is a bit cleaner but otherwise you are playing what those in Japan played over a decade ago. The 3D effect allows labels like the name of the dungeon and the text boxes to pop out a bit, but otherwise the 3D is an afterthought.

The Great Giana Sisters was a 1987 platformer that aped Super Mario Bros. so closely that it couldn’t have been coincidence – the first level was an almost exact rip off of Super Mario Bros.’s 1-1. After Nintendo threatened legal action, the game was removed from store shelves. Other than a 2009 re-imagining for the DS, that’s all this platforming series has been known for over the last 26 years. But now, Black Forest Games, thanks in part to Kickstarter donations, has created Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams – a modern sequel that sheds the series of its copycat roots and carves its own spot in the platforming genre.

Starting up the adventure will give you the back-story: Maria is sucked into a strange dark portal, and Giana jumps in to save her (Okay, so that part is still like Super Mario Bros.). It’s this ominous beginning that brings Giana into the world of twisted dreams.

Twisted Dreams’s main gameplay mechanic is the shifting of worlds between “cute” Giana and “punk” Giana. Cute Giana is a blonde haired, innocent looking girl juxtaposed with a demonic twisted background. Enemies change shape into demons, poisonous frogs and other such malcontents. She has the ability to twirl in mid-air, which allows her to hover. In contrast, Punk Giana is a pink haired punk rocker girl paired with a colorful, beautiful background. Enemies become cuddly creatures like owls and rabbits. She has the ability to burst forward in any direction as a ball of flame, which serves both as an attack and her best method of mobility.

Both of these worlds are wonderfully drawn and animated. They show off both the light side of fun dreams and the dark side of scary dreams. Giana is able to switch between both worlds on the fly, and the instant change of the world from light to dark gives it that much more charm. Punk Giana experiences a louder, more rock-like version of the music in each level, while Cute Giana gets a quieter version.

Like all platformers, the goal is to make it to the end of the level while jumping over perilous pits, obnoxious obstacles and formidable foes. While many games have gotten easier since the 1980s, Twisted Dreams thumbs its nose at that trend, producing one of the most difficult platformers in years. Crystal spikes are everywhere, poisonous water flows in abundance and enemies will all impede your progress every step of the way. You will die many times, starting as early as level 1-2. The presence of checkpoints is the only beacon of hope in this very difficult platformer. Twisted Dreams is a game that hatesyou. It wants you dead and will do whatever it takes to kill you, and it will never stop trying to murder you.

To master this challenging game, you will need to use the world-changing mechanic to great effect. Not only do backgrounds and enemies change, but platforms, doors, spikes, trampolines and even gems can disappear and reappear when you switch between worlds. When the going gets tough, you’ll be switching between worlds on the fly, several times during one jump or to avoid obstacles that only exist in one world. It is The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past’s two world mechanic on steroids, and much more deadly.

Boss battles serve as a test for what you have learned to accomplish in the game up to that point. They are difficult and grueling battles that require you to be on your toes. You’ll need to have your jumping and world-shifting skills polished, or else you’re going to get crushed (now there’s a difference from the Mario series; bosses will kill you. A lot).

Professor E. Gadd is living a peaceful life with ghosts, who act as his compatriots in scientific study... until the Dark Moon is broken and taken out of the sky. Then, the ghosts become hostile and destructive. With phantasmal chaos erupting around him, Prof. E. Gadd summons Luigi to strap on the Poltergust once again, clean up the ghosts and restore the Dark Moon.

Piecing the Dark Moon back together will take Luigi on a quest through five different mansions full of ghosts that aren't too happy to see him. Each mansion is broken up into several missions where Luigi completes a checklist of goals that E. Gadd gives him throughout gameplay. As the game progresses, Luigi will gain more items, such as a strobe light that can be charged to stun multiple ghosts and a dark light that reveals invisible objects. The mission format lends itself well to handheld gaming, as most missions can be completed within 20 minutes, even when exploring for extra gems and money. Money collected during the campaign will go towards upgrades to the Poltergust 5000 and to the darklight device.

One of the strengths of the original Luigi's Mansion was how entertaining the characterization of Luigi and the ghosts was. Dark Moon continues that, with Luigi's demonstrative cowardice and the ghosts' playful behavior. The frightened green plumber tiptoes carefully as he walks, and in dark rooms, he has a very worried face when he runs. He'll even hum along to the background music during idle times. The ghosts will sneak up on Luigi to scare him, attack him while he's sucking up another ghost, and will even board up the peepholes that he's spying on them through. They can be seen tossing objects around, batting them like baseballs and toying around with the environment. They are a very humorous bunch.

However, while the ghosts are good as groups, they do not have the individualism of the original game's ghosts. The past game's boss battles pitted you against ghosts of the people living in the mansion, and you could learn all about them based on information and clues from each room you visit. By contrast, you only have groups of mono-colored ghosts as your opponents here (even most of the bosses look similar to each other). Compared to the depth of the first game, Dark Moon's enemies are much more simplistic. You have your basic green ghosts, your tough guy red ghosts, sneaky pink ghosts, and Boos. They get the job done, but fans of the first game might feel some disappointment in their superficial nature.

Boss battles are the most inventive and intriguing part of the campaign. They take you out of the basic "stun ghost then suck it up" formula and give you new challenges. Some bosses combine puzzle solving into the mix and these mind teasers engage you much more than the typical combat situation. One boss, for example, can't be sucked up. To weaken it, you have to use fire, medieval statues, and spider webs creatively to damage it. In general, Dark Moon is at its best when it encourages more creative ways to fight the ghosts, and I wish the campaign would do this more often.

While single player is a bit lacking, Dark Moon's multiplayer adds a lot of fun to the mix. The ScareScraper multiplayer supports up to four players and comes in three different forms. Hunter Mode is for capturing all the ghosts as quickly as possible, Polterpup Mode tasks you to capture all the adorable Polterpups on each floor, and Rush mode simply asks you to find the exit before time runs out. Each mode can be played with 5, 10, or 25 floors, on Normal, Hard, and Expert modes. Multiplayer can be played locally, regardless of whether your friends have a copy of Dark Moon or not, and (I'm serious) online. Each mode contains a challenging boss battle every five floors.

It's remarkable how engaging Next Level Games managed to make these multiplayer modes. For a series that started as a single player-only romp, it works extremely well as a multiplayer adventure. You'll be bringing your friends together (or constantly logging online) to have another go at the ScareScraper, trying to defeat the ghosts and set a new personal record.

To succeed in these modes (especially on Expert), great communication is necessary. When the party gets split up and some get attacked by a gaggle of ghosts, cursed, or stuck with vases on their heads, everyone needs to come to their aid. There are generic phrases like "Hey!" and "Help!", but that isn't always enough online, where a lack of physical players makes it difficult in such trying times. Though it's great that the game offers online play (something that Nintendo games often eschew), it's clear that multiplayer was designed with local play in mind.

Dead or Alive is a technical fighter, which means there is a lot to learn for a player to become skilled. Training Plus mode hits that point home, with a tutorial including over 100 different missions teaching you everything from basic movement to complex combo strategies. It does a great job of teaching new players the inner workings of the series. That said, there's no way to sugarcoat the great amount of techniques that must be learned to become good at the game. Casual fighting fans can still get enjoyment out of the single player modes on lower difficulty settings, though, and veteran fighters have all the training and practice modes they'll need to hone their craft.

Graphically, Dead or Alive 5 Plus should be praised for bringing all of the visual glory from the console version to the Vita. All the little details, from Jann Lee's extravagant fighting stance to the sweat on the fighters' faces carries over to this Vita port. It's not as high fidelity as the consoles, obviously, but it's still amazing that a handheld device can produce such strong presentation. The songs and sounds from the original game all carry over just as well, though the soundtrack doesn't have any memorable, standout songs.

The stages are tiered and this can be used to do extra damage to fighters, just like in previous Dead or Alive installments. Tossing opponents against walls deals extra damage, as does knocking them off a higher level to a lower level, or through breakable walls. These events can be as mundane as simple falls to being smack in the middle of a warzone, so it's important for players to keep an eye out for the danger zones on each stage.

Story mode continues where Dead or Alive 4 left off. Don't worry if you don't know or remember what happened there, because knowledge of past events isn't really important. In fact, taking the story too seriously isn't important either. The story in Dead or Alive 5 Plus is best described as a B-movie - a silly, tongue-in-cheek flick in video game form. It lasts about 5-7 hours and is mildly entertaining during that time, but, like most fighting games, this isn't the crux of the experience.

Other standard single player modes are also present. Versus lets you have a quick battle; Arcade has you battle through a chain of opponents to the final boss, much like the days of yesteryear; Time Attack challenges you to do all that as quickly as possible; and Survival will continue to throw opponents at you until you succumb. Unfortunately, Tag Team mode is not available in the Vita version of the game (though there are still some tag fights in story mode).

Multiplayer is available through Ad Hoc as well as online through the PlayStation Network. As with other fighters, ranked, unranked, and friend matches are available. There's also an online practice mode, where you can invite friends to practice with you. Leaderboards also compare you to the rest of the world. The Vita version features Cross Play, meaning that you can play against both Vita owners as well as PlayStation 3 owners of Dead or Alive 5 (an icon on-screen during the fight denotes whether your opponent is a Vita player or a PlayStation 3 player). This is a nice addition that increases the potential playerbase. Online, I did experience some lag at the character and stage selection screens, but the matches themselves ran smoothly. 

The Vita version adds the ability to take screenshots in battle. Take photos of your favorite fights and share the memories of your most intense battles! Or take pictures of whatever you like - you have free reign. Also added is Touch Fight mode, which is a first person fight mode that equates different attacks, throws, and blocks to specific finger presses and swipes on the screen. It can be fought with the Vita held either sideways or vertically. It's a fun extra mode to play around with, but lacks the full depth of the original game and is little more than a sideshow to the main experience.
