MAJOR Wii U UPDATE FEATURES NEW SERVICES & FASTER PERFORMANCE

29th April, 2013 – The next major system update for Nintendo’s Wii U home console is now available for download in Australia and New Zealand. The update delivers a host of enhanced features, such as improved stability and performance. As well as faster load times when switching between applications, the update also laid the groundwork for the launch of the Wii U Virtual Console service which allows Wii U owners to relive some of their favourite games from classic home consoles, as well as the launch of Wii U Panorama View.

Below is an overview of what the system update delivers:

Addition of Standby Functions Feature

· This feature enables data for purchased software, system updates and software updates to be downloaded and installed automatically even after the console has been turned off.

Updates to Miiverse

· Controls using the Wii Remote, the Wii U Pro Controller, and the Classic Controller are now supported.

· The input screen for handwritten posts is now also displayed on the TV.

· The input screen for handwritten posts now features an undo/redo button.

Updates to the Internet Browser

· Controls using the Wii Remote and the Wii U Pro Controller are now supported.

· It is now possible to switch search engines when performing a keyword search.

· It is now possible to navigate to the start page from bookmarks.

Update to Nintendo eShop

· When purchasing downloadable software, any available updates for that software will be downloaded at the same time.

Updates to Download Management

· It is now possible to reorder downloads.

· Newly purchased downloadable software will automatically install once the download completes.

Updates to Parental Controls

· The “Viewing Distributed Videos” restriction has been changed to “Entertainment Excluding Games”. A screen requiring parental consent will be displayed before the first use of any non-game software (including video-viewing software) or other new service.

Enabled Direct Opening of Wii Menu

· When the Wii U logo is displayed after turning on the console, holding down the B Button on the Wii U GamePad will open the Wii Menu directly. (If no default user has been selected on the console, the user-selection screen will be displayed, and a user must be selected.)

Updates to System Settings

· Under Data Management, two USB storage devices can now be connected to move and/or copy data. You can move and/or copy data between the system memory and a USB storage device or between two USB storage devices. (Up to two USB storage devices can be connected when moving, copying or deleting data. In all other cases, only one USB storage device can be used at a time.)

· Under Data Management, you can now move, copy or delete data for a selection of software titles.

· The TV option now includes the option to adjust the screen size of the display on the TV. (This replaces the similar options previously available within Miiverse, Nintendo eShop, and the Internet Browser, which have now been removed.)

· The “Auto Power-Down” option has been renamed to “Power Settings”, which now includes both the auto power-down setting and the new standby functions feature.

Improvements to System Stability and Convenience

· Improvements have been made to system stability and convenience for greater user enjoyment.

· The time required to start the Wii U console, launch built-in applications, exit software and return to the main menu, jump between applications and jump between software and Miiverse has been reduced.

Additional features were also released including:

Virtual Console

A library of quality classic games from NES and Super Nintendo are scheduled for the Virtual Console service on Wii U, with favourites such as Super Mario World, Excitebike, Mario’s Super Picross, F-Zero, Ice Climber, Donkey Kong Jr. and Punch-Out!! available at launch*.

NES games will cost AUD $6.50 or NZD $8.50 while Super NES games will cost AUD $10.40 or NZD $13.60. People who have already downloaded these games to their Wii system can transfer them to their Wii U consoles and play them in Wii Mode at no charge. To upgrade and take advantage of the improved Wii U features, they can purchase them at the special discount price of AUD $1.30 or NZD $1.70 for NES games and AUD $1.95 or NZD $2.55 for Super NES games.

Wii U Panorama View

Wii U Panorama View opens a window to the sights and sounds of some of the world’s most exciting destinations. Wii U owners use the GamePad controller to look in every direction to control an immersive 360-degree video guided tour as these destinations come to life from the comfort of your living room.

CIRCUS OZ 2013: CRANKED UP – TICKETS ON SALE ON MONDAY, 25 MARCH 2013

Premiering in Melbourne last year, Circus Oz sizzles back into the Circus Oz Big Top at Birrarung Marr with their  reconstructed 2013 show – cranked up from touring regional Australia, a New York City run of standing  ovations and hot from an extended season across America.

Circus Oz 2013: Cranked Up hurls the 2012 show, From The Ground Up, to new heights – it is a production that  has been honed, road?hardened, made tight and allowed to play hilariously fast and loose.  Expect the irreverent Circus Oz spirit, revel in seeing some of the company’s much?loved characters again and  thrill at some daring new feats as Mark Sheppard steps into the shoes of roving Indigenous  provocateur  destined to disrupt nongoing brand of ridiculous tomfoolery that leaves audiences howling for more.

Credited with revitalising a traditional artform in a uniquely Australian way, Circus Oz is a rock ‘n’ roll, animalfree  circus that has influenced the development of circus arts around the world since its foundation in 1978 –  and this year turns 35!

 “… no?bullshit Australian culture, which grabs our audience by the throat and makes us cheer the daredevils on, laugh,  and be made aware of social justice all at once. This is the art of Circus Oz …”
Canberra Critics Circle (October 2012)

“A blend of high energy acrobatics, juggling, magic, exuberant clowning and all around derring?do, accompanied by a pounding rock score.”
New York Post (December 2012)

“The group adds comedy and music, making the aerial routines about more than mere prowess  … a little naughty, a little nice, a little death?defying.”
New York Times (December 2012)

“The daring feats on trapeze and poles and unlikely equipment keep your heart in your mouth while the mildly raunchy verbal byplay and  failed card tricks hold the attention of the adults who actually buy the tickets.”
Metro, New York (December 2012)

Circus Oz 2013: Cranked Up
Season 19 June – 14 July 2013
Preview Wednesday, 19 June 2013
Gala Night Thursday, 20 June 2013

BREAKING DEADPOOL DEADVELOPMENT

Sooo, uhhhh, APPARENTLY there are characters in my new upcoming Activision game, DEADPOOL, who are not Deadpool! Right??

I thought it was pretty clear when I said I wanted a true Deadpool game that it would star Deadpool…in every role! My star power shouldn’t be limited to the central protagonist. I should be playing the hero, the anti-hero, the villain who eventually changes sides to join forces against the TRUE villain (me), the romantic interest, the quirky best friend, the comic relief, and at least 8 other characters in fat suits! Is that too much to ask?!

But…I’ve been talking to my therapist…and she says it’s important that I not allow the existence of other people who are not me to determine my own self-worth. I just have to be the best unhinged mutant mercenary I can be. So, here’s a look at some of the…other…characters you can meet in DEADPOOL.

DEADPOOL is available for Xbox 360® and PlayStation®3 on June 26, 2013 and is rated MA15+ by the Australian Classification Board. For more information, please go to my website, like me on Facebook, and follow me on Twitter.

Grab your crew and take them on a thrilling ride: Deep Silver reveals new details on Ride to Hell: Route 666

Grab your crew and take them on a thrilling ride: Deep Silver reveals new details on Ride to Hell: Route 666

Sydney, Australia – 29 April 2013 – Deep Silver is putting the pedal to the metal with more details on the upcoming action game Ride to Hell: Route 666. In the world’s first real time tactics beat ’em up, players will beef up their pack of road warriors, provide them with the right gear, and take them to the streets in a merciless battle for every mile of the legendary Route 66. The trip starts this winter, when the game is scheduled to hit the PlayStation® Store, Xbox Live® for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and Steam.

Tactics are essential when up against a colourful cast of enemies. Players will be able to bark orders at their fearless gang members to bring them into the right formation on-the-fly with easy, accessible controls. Clever tactics will be rewarded, opening up enemy defences and allowing you to get in on the action: as the leader of this lawless bunch, you can support your warriors at the front line or issue instructions from the back. Pick up and play action controls allow the players to get involved in the fight at any time. You’ll also be recruiting new members to join your gang, with each one bringing their own special abilities to a fight, from big bad bruisers to sultry medics.

Ride to Hell: Route 666 is set within the Ride to Hell universe, a world of bare-knuckle violence, and rip-roaring motorcycles. Later this year the setting will be extended by two further titles featuring the unique and incomparable biker lifestyle; Ride to Hell: Retribution and Ride to Hell: Beatdown.

Ride to Hell: Retribution tells the story of a lone rider, Jake Conway, a man with either a gun in his hand or a girl on his lap (and on more than one occasion both!). He’s on a merciless path of revenge against a brutal biker gang called The Devil’s Hand, armed to the teeth with an arsenal of deadly weapons to enact his vengeance on foot and on bike. The only law Jake answers to is his own.  Hit hard, ride fast and leave ’em in the dust  June 2013 for Xbox 360, Windows PC, and PlayStation®3.

The Ride to Hell universe will be rounded out with Ride to Hell: Beatdown, a rock’n’roll brawler set to light up the mobile space, on the go! More details on this title will follow soon.

Ride to Hell: Retribution is developed by Eutechnyx, Ride to Hell: Route 666 by Black Forest Games.
