Um, Havok was even on the Wii, how is this surprising or anything of the sort?

Agreed! The Havok engine was in Brawl. This is good news but somewhat expected

It isn't, I just thought it would make for good news for the wii u since there so little information coming out for it. -.-'

^Agreed. Nothing new but, it's still nice to know that they still have that back-up. Brawl did look really sweet.

Seeing that Havok went mobile some time ago, the only thing that could suprise me about this physics engine would be a release for toasters or other kitchen utensils.

It is not surprising. But it is still good news.

Yeah this.

I think it would be more newsworthy if it somehow wasn't on the system.

Pfft, you don't have the Toastmaster 6000? Takes pictures and everything! I bet Havok could port their engine to it!
