You might have read rumours swirling around the internet today that suggest the Wii U will be out on November 18. Multiple gaming websites, such as GameSpot and Eurogamer, have reported on the rumour, which originated at the website Wii U Daily. Wii U Daily says it obtained an email from a Japanese retailer that confirms the release date.
UK-based retailer GAME will not be stacking any of publisher Electronic Arts’s March games, including Mass Effect 3, it said today.
Eurogamer is reporting that a source close to the game has confirmed that Borderlands 2 is in development and that an announcement from publisher 2K Games is coming soon. We’re checking with 2K and will update you with any news.
What would you really like to ask a game developer?
We wish there were more executives like Peter Moore, the kind who wonder where the f…. hell their game is on the end of year “Best Of” lists. As Moore has done to Eurogamer.
This is why we can’t have nice things. A short while ago, Euro gaming website Eurogamer announced that they Sony had made 5800 keys for the LittleBigPlanet European beta, and then they quickly disappeared under a raging tide of sack boy-hungry Europeans. The sheer numbers have brought the website to its knees – I’ve been trying to get there simply to get the link to entry page for the story and have had no luck whatsoever, and with the key offer requiring Eurogamer registration, both the front and and back end are getting completely slammed, bringing to mind a mental picture that I will quickly put out of my head.
Still, with the site being so crowded, you might just be able to wiggle your way in their and snag one before they’re all gone. Kotakuite Richie Rich managed to, and he’s downloading the beta as we speak, so if all else fails you can live vicariously through him. Good luck! What do you mean this is even more traffic? We’re helping!

If you missed Eurogamer’s LiveText chat last Friday, you missed out on Fable creator Peter Molyneux rambling on about dead leaves and being invisible, which is undeniably awesome. Their next gaming history-making chat session is coming up this Friday, and you don’t want to miss your chance to grill Bungie’s production director Jonty Barnes and writing lead Sinead Frank O’Connor, who has studied European culture specifically for the event. I believe that the authoritative piece on the continent and its people, National Lampoon’s European Vacation, will be an excellent preparation for me. I have no worries about the types of question these Aussies and Kiwis have planned for us.
Can a large group of people kill a man with only the power of internet-transmitted questions? Find out Friday at 3PM GMT.
Halo 3 devs next for LiveText [Eurogamer]
Eurogamer has a real treat lined up for readers this Friday, as they have trapped industry icon and Fable creator Peter Molyneux in a tiny internet box, forcing him to answer questions live like some sort of mad answer-money. Questions will be posed via Eurogamer’s new LiveText system, which allows users to pose questions and a moderator to filter out the hundreds of “What are you wearings?” “To get tough and frank questions from gamers is what I am looking forward to this Friday. I don’t mind whether they are about Fable 2, Lionhead’s other games or the industry in general.” said Lionhead boss Peter Molyneux.
But what is he wearing? We may never know. The session kicks off at 3PM GMT on Friday, which is 10AM Eastern and way too freaking early Pacific. Peter Molyneux LiveText interview this Friday! [Eurogamer]
