Ubisoft’s open world adventure game Watch Dogs releases for most platforms on May 27, but Wii U owners are going to have to wait a little longer. A new listing on Ubisoft’s Uplay places the Wii U release of the game during “fall 2014,” according to Joystiq.

Nintendo 3DS close-up.

After months of service outages, Nintendo's Wii Shop Channel and DSi Shop are back online.

Nintendo's two virtual marketplace services went down in March of this year. In a statement to Kotaku on the outage, Nintendo acknowledged the downtime but had nothing to report other than that the shops were undergoing maintenance and that it would provide updates on them at a later date. It seems it completely skipped the update and simply put both back online instead.
