Update–Confirmed Fake: Ubisoft employee leaks Wii U details, specs, release time, release games, and more
Update: Looks like this information comes from an Italian message board and the poster said he was a 15 yr old and just wanted to post the story for fun. Just a couple more weeks and we’ll be done with all these rumors. Can’t wait for that.
This is possibly the biggest Wii U rumor we have had to date and I am sure it will not be the last. According to the rumor a Ubisoft employee is in a lot of trouble leaking a bunch of Wii U information.
All information comes from Zeldainformer. Check them out for the full list of Wii U rumors.
Developer supposedly from Ubisoft Milan divisionWii U will support two touch-screen controllersWii U will include a lot of pre-installed software, just like the 3DSWii U’s launch lineup is amazing; what happened with the 3DS at launch won’t happen againUbisoft has “multiple versions” of the systemNintendo asked Ubisoft to release a large number of titles at launch; they’re planning to have Rayman Legends, Assassin’s Creed III, and Just Dance 4, with Killer Freaks from Outer Space available a few weeks laterUbisoft has received several dev kits and tech demos that showcase the system’s capabilities (similar to the Zelda HD demo’s graphical showcase); apparently they haven’t even gone through all the tech demos yet2GB of RAM, 512 MB for the OS (Sounds about right)Graphics card will be a Radeon HD 6770, meaning DirectX11 and Unreal Engine 4Previous dev kits clocked in at 4GHz, but apparently the latest ones cap out at 6GHz

I’m sorry James, you’ve been trolled very very hard.
I respect you and your site because its always a VERY credible a reliable Nintendo site. I’m not a Nintendo fan, but you always have kept things credible.
Only this time you’ve be lied to. The poster is a 15 year Italian boy hoaxing.

@HJMarriot Thanks for the update HJ! Looked like it was a long shot, and that’s why we marked it as a rumor to not get anyone’s hopes up. Will edit the story to confirmed as fake.

@HJMarriot Can’t wait to just have Nintendo reveal everything at E3 and not have all this rumor/speculation to go off of. We’ll be there at Nintendo’s press conference so be sure to check back with us on June 5 and we’ll see what happens. Thanks again for the heads up!

@justincas Your welcome. I’ve been following this blog for quite sometime. What I like about it, is that you never make assumptions and thoroughly FACT Check all rumors. Most other Nintendo sites take rumors for face value without bothering to look them up to confirm their credibility.
Indeed I will check back. I like this blog.
