It didn't look good when the release date for the Wii U version of "Aliens: Colonial Marines" came and went without the Gearbox shooter making its way to Nintendo's console. Now we have the official word from SEGA that they've opted to not release it for the Wii U.
Because at this point, why would they?

DC Comics and NetherRealm have crossed paths before although their first meeting was when creative director Ed Boon was working at Midway Studios, and that meeting resulted derailed what would have been the next installment of "Mortal Kombat," and instead became the 2008 fighting game "Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe." While it might not feel like it set the world on fire, the game actually sold almost two million copies, and was on track to have a significant amount of DLC and would have been supported up until the release of "Mortal Kombat" from the then-renamed NetherRealm Studios, due to Midway's financial issues.
If you haven't played the game, the plot revolves around the Mortal Kombat and DC Comic universes colliding, and basically providing an excuse for these characters to fight each other. The fighting in the game was deep, as you would expect with the injection of Boon and his team's DNA, but it seemed to die a quick death after release, probably due again to the Midway issues. But the two teams are joining forces again, and the resulting game, "Injustice: Gods Among Us," is a much richer dive into the lore of DC Comics. Plus, there are no pesky Mortal Kombat characters butting in.

Crytek USA, the new Austin-based studio built from the remnants of Vigil Games, plans to bid on the "Darksiders" license when it goes up for auction as part of THQ's bankruptcy proceedings. Late last week David Adams, former Vigil general manager and current Crytek USA CEO, tweeted that he was "going to bid on 'Darksiders' IP. Put 7 years of heart and soul into that franchise, and I think it belongs at home with its creators."
Ryan Stefanelli, who co-founded Vigil Games and now works as a lead designer at Crytek USA, later followed up with Destructoid confirming his new company's plans. ""When the 'Darksiders' IP goes up for auction, Crytek will be bidding for it," he explained. "Not much more to say since the rest is left up to courts and legal shenanigans, but we're all excited at the prospect."
'Darksiders,' originally developed by Vigil, was one of the few high-profile series not bought in the first wave of auctions following THQ's bankruptcy. It is still technically part of THQ's portfolio, but the company is in the process of a second round of auctions -- initial bids were due yesterday.
