News::'Slender: The Arrival' is ready to creep out Wii U players this month

Everyone knows the tale of Slender Man, the impossibly tall, lanky, humanoid creature with no face who wears a suit and stalks unsuspecting children in dark woods and quiet nighttime hallways. In other words, it's perfect fodder for a horror game. Slender: The Arrival is a first-person exploration game about Lauren, a young woman searching for her friend and Slender Man fanatic, Kate, who's gone missing. The game is already out on Steam, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Xbox One and PlayStation 4, and now it's coming to haunt the Wii U. Slender: The Arrival hits Wii U on October 22nd in North America, complete with special Wii remote capabilities. The flashlight is the most important item in the game, and Wii U players can move the Wii remote -- not the Wii U Gamepad -- to control the in-game torch. Not that it will stop Slender Man from finding them, of course.

News::Wii U emulator (almost) runs 'Mario Kart 8' on your PC

Want a Wii U but don't want to own Nintendo's latest console? That's sort of possible now. I emphasize the "sort of" because the recently released Cemu emulator is almost entirely broken at this point. There isn't proper gamepad support, there's absolutely no audio and the game video stutters and glitches pretty badly in most cases if the titles launch at all. For example, in Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD's attract mode (the opening menu screen), little Toon Link looks he has some seriously Donnie Darko-esque energy tubes coming out of his chest, stretching far out from his cliffside overlook on Outset Island. Peep it in the video embedded below. "Contains basically no optimizations," the download page reads. "Expect slow frame rates and long load times."
