If you own a Wii U, it might almost seem like you're being ignored by the big publishers.

In an investors meeting, President Iwata revealed how Nintendo look at third parties.

Nintendo has released 6 minutes of in-game footage for their latest entry in the Mario franchise, Super Mario 3D World. The video is an overview of most of the game’s features, including all of the power-ups, which include the new Cat Suit (pictured above), and some of the co-op features.

The black, 32GB Wii U Deluxe no longer comes with Nintendo Land, and is now being packaged with New Super Mario Bros. U. As an added bonus, it also comes with New Super Luigi Bros. U, which was originally released as downloadable content over the Summer.  Nintendo Land, while never receiving praise like the Wii’s pack-in game Wii Sports, was a nifty little game that featured mini-games starring famous Nintendo characters.

Ubisoft have announced that their not-Assassin's-Creed hacker blockbuster Watch Dogs will be delayed until March 2014. Considering it made up a pretty prolific PlayStation 4 bundle, people are understandably angry and confused. Have they now missed out on their PlayStation 4 console? Will there be the chance to switch to something else? Will Amazon et al be able to keep up with the change in demand?

Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon may just be coming to Wii U. Although nothing has been confirmed by Nintendo, the previously 3DS exclusive has been listed on Newegg although none of the information on the page - except for a Wii U box art - really implies this couldn't just be a mistake.

Nintendo have released a system update for the Wii U, and it contains with it what a regularly requested features for the system. You can now use the Wii U gamepad as a TV for Wii games.
