Wii U Controller Redesign Leaked?
This twitter image does not very add up to what we currently know…
While not exactly 3DS news, Nintendo’s new home console has observed an exciting development lately: A QA tester at LEGO developer Traveller’s Tales posted an image (now removed) of an apparent controller redesign to twitter on Saturday.
Although this is not confirmed, it is more likely to be a gaffe on the QA tester’s element than a fake. Personnel of game studios don’t usually go about posting fake images connected to the businesses they perform with for a living. Apart from, it is not uncommon for elements of a console – or any electronic item – to go via redesigns before launch keep in mind the Playstation 3′s original controller? That looked far more at house on Batman’s belt than in anyone’s hands.
The image shows a number of changes from what we saw at final year’s E3, the most notable getting the removal of the 3DS-like circle pads and the addition of the far more robust analogue sticks. I doubt any individual will argue with that certain revision. You might also notice that the + and – buttons have been moved from the bottom of the screen to the proper – a alter likely brought on by testing – and the addition of two new, unlabelled buttons on the bottom and left side of the screen.
In much more minor elements, it looks like the controller will be charged through a related cable to the 3DS as there’s a very familiar searching lead sticking out of the top. A Wii U logo has also been added on the bottom left corner of the controller.
Bungie’s Upcoming SciFi Shooter ‘Destiny’ Due in 2013, New Marathon Game in the Works
By Jeffrey Matulef
According to a latest 27-page contract among Bungie and Activision published by the L.A. Times, Bungie’s next game, codenamed “Destiny,” will be released as a timed exclusive on Xbox 360 and its successor — presently referred to as Xbox 720 — in the fall of 2013.
The contract states that Bungie will make 4 “sci-fantasy, action shooter games” in the Destiny series to be released every single other year starting in 2013. Moreover, the Bellevue, WA-based developer will have to make four downloadable expansion packs, codenamed “Comet,” every single other year from 2014-2020.
While the initial game would be a timed Microsoft exclusive, subsequent games in the franchise are slated for the Playstation 3′s successor (I’m going to take a wild guess that it’ll be called the PlayStation 4), and Computer.
According to the contract, Bungie would be entitled to royalties ranging from 20% to 35% of “operating earnings,” the amount left more than after Activision deducts its expenses, like improvement, production and advertising and marketing expenditures.

This contract was signed on April 16, 2010, so there is a likelihood these terms could have been amended because.
Long-time Bungie fans will be pleased to hear that they are creating a new Marathon game as effectively, even though the contract dictates that no much more than five percent of their staff could function on it even though beneath Activision’s employ. This suggests a smaller scale game, possibly set for digital distribution.
