Gamers have been asking for it since the Wii U launched, upon the disappointment of discovering they cannot play Wii Virtual Console games on the Wii U GamePad: when will Virtual Console games be integrated with the Wii U? The answer? This spring (at least in Japan). But it will cost you.

A group by the name of Deep Fried Figures has made a new line of PVC figures called Mechawhales. As you might imagine, it features giant whales in equally large mecha suits. They are about 3.5 inches tall and 5.5 inches wide featuring articulated shoulders, wrists, and tail (fluke). They are rather pricey at $45 a piece, but if that video above (and the one after the jump) doesn’t sell you on them, I’m not sure what will. You have to give credence to the creativity and ridiculous concept of this project.

Join us after the jump for more pictures, video and the press release!

Blizzard has released the HD opening cinematic for StarCraft 2: Heart of the Swarm.
In it, we are treated to an epic Zerg invasion of a Terran planet.

The game is scheduled for release on March 12, 2013. It will continue the story where it left off in the last game, StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty and will someday be completed by a third release that will be more Protoss-centric.

I, for one, am already planning the purchase of a new harddrive to contain all of excitement and gameplay that this title promises. Are you planning on picking up the game? Let us know in the comments!

Entertainment weekly gives us a first look at the poster for The Wizards Return, the new Wizards of Waverly Place TV special. E! Online also has an image of Selena Gomez decked out in leather as Alex Russo.

The premise of the special has Alex vs. Alex as good and evil Alex square off against each other. Evil Alex with a white streak in her hair is consistent with how Alex looked when she turned evil in the “Saving WizTech” two parter from season two. In the background of the poster is the leaning tower of Pisa, which is where the battle in the film is meant to take place.

The original Just Cause was a game that came out during the early days of the Xbox 360 lifespan. Although it was far from perfect, it did have a lot of potential as a Grand Theft Auto meets Mission Impossible style free roaming espionage title. This game’s sequel improves on it in every way, enabling players to pull off batshit insane stunts straight out of a Hollywood blockbuster.
