Wii U OS Details Leaked?

Posted on May 21, 2012 by Rae Michelle Richards

Details surrounding the operating system Nintendo’s upcoming Wii-U have supposedly leaked online.  All of this information seems very tentative considering the fact that the poster mentioned that these details came from a “Version 4 development kit” that is supposedly a few months old.

This information is supposedly two months old and may change considering the fact that the Wii-U is not expected to be released until October or November. The Wii-U’s OS will be reportedly one of the largest in console history clocking in at 512MB. Apparently the operating system run by the Wii-U has “never been seen before on a home console”.  Despite these claims that the WIi-U’s OS will be revolutionary Nintendo is keeping the dashboard close to its chest, developers currently do not have access to it.

Mo-Cap Artist Pegs Playstation Battle Royale For a Fall Release

Posted on May 7, 2012 by Rae Michelle Richards

Could Sucker Punch’s electrically charged everyman Cole Mcgrath be making an appearance in Playstation Battle Royale? Eric Ladin, the man behind Cole’s moves (read: his Mo-Cap artist) tweeted yesterday that he was in the studio performing as Cole, but not for an infamous title.

Does this confirm Cole as part of the games line-up? Nothing is set in stone but it is possible that Cole Mcgrath will be added via DLC if he does not make the initial cut. On twitter Ladin wrote “Feels good to be back in the mo-cap suit! Before you ask … no, not inFamous.”.

Also of interest is the fact that Eric Ladin followed up his tweet with the news that the title he is working on will be released sometime towards the end of the year. Could Sony be positioning PlayStation Battle Royale as part of their holiday line-up? Combine PBR (no, not the beer) and a price cut and you have attractive bundle, Just say’in Sony!
