After years in the making, La-Mulana won’t be making it to WiiWare after all.
“Regarding La-Mulana, we have chosen to cancel publishing in North America and Europe for WiiWare.” That’s the official word sent out today via publisher Nicalis’ official Twitter account. Tyrone Rodriguez, publisher at Nicalis, explained further in comments to GoNintendo:

Nintendo’s Wii U Price Headache
Posted by IGN on Apr 30, 2012 | Leave a Comment
Satoru Iwata has a headache and it’s a triple-Tylenol zinger. Wii U will almost certainly be priced as Nintendo’s most expensive product launch ever. Although the price has not been announced, most commentators – including IGN – believe it will come in at a minimum of $299, possibly even more.
The last time Nintendo launched a games machine, it opted for a too-high price, and was forced into a $70 price cut just six months after launch. The 3DS debacle was an extremely painful...

Posted by IGN on Apr 27, 2012 | Leave a Comment
Last night Nintendo strongly signaled its intent to push both its portable and home console efforts into the modern era. Starting this August with New Super Mario Bros. 2 for the Nintendo 3DS, and beginning with the launch of Wii U, the company intends to make all of its self-published retail titles available in both a packaged and digital format, able to be downloaded through Nintendo’s eShop as well as purchased as a code in a retail store.
Though this move allows the 3DS to operate on more...
Resident Evil Zero Revisited
Posted by IGN on Apr 27, 2012 | Leave a Comment
It’s a rare event when a game in development actually has its release date moved up the calendar, but Capcom’s now positioned Resident Evil 6 to debut in less than six months. That gives us only half a year to accomplish a little project we’ve dreamed up — replaying all the past RE games. First up, Resident Evil Zero.
Unmet ExpectationsLet’s pull no punches right from the start here — in hindsight RE0 is clunky. It used the same stiff, dated control scheme of tank-like...
