Today
on Headline RePLAY: Deadpool stars in his own game, analyst Michael Pachter
calls the Wii U “gimmicky” and Street
Fighter X Tekken’s Mega Man and Pac-Man are forever PS3 exclusives.
After
being overshadowed by other “heroes” like Wolverine, Deadpool, the Merc with a
Mouth, is finally getting his own videogame, developed by High Moon Studios—the
studio responsible for Transformers: The
Fall of Cybertron.
Deadpool: The Game was announced at
Comic-Con and is slated for a 2013 release date. No other details were
released, although Deadpool seems to be voiced by Nolan North, who also voiced
the merc hero in Spider-Man: Shattered
Dimensions and Nathan Drake in the Uncharted series.

The
Wii U “isn’t going to work” says, Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter at
the Develop Conference in Brighton last week.
Pachter
described the original Wii as “gimmicky” and believes that Nintendo just got “lucky”
with its success, but doesn’t think that luck will extend to the Wii U.
“I
don’t think they suck—I just think that they really believe that, ‘If we’re
still novel, everything we do will work,’” he claims. “This isn’t going to
work.
“Hardcore
gamers will buy them; hardcore Nintendo fanboys will buy it. They could put out
a piece of cardboard and say that it’ll play Mario and they’ll buy it.”

Despite
the early release of the on-disc Street
Fighter X Tekken downloadable characters, Mega Man and Pac-Man will remain
as PS3 exclusives, says producer Tomoyaki Ayano.
“Unfortunately
for Xbox 360 users, Mega Man and Pac-Man are exclusive to the PS3 version of
the game,” Ayano told Siliconera.
“Every
game has data on it that is unused,” he explained. “In this case, Street Fighter X Tekken for the Xbox 360
did have the Mega Man and Pac-Man data on it. But, we never intended to release
these characters on the 360. They are PS3 exclusives and that was our intention
from the very beginning. They are not going to be timed exclusives either, they’re
PS3 exclusives.”
