Beenox no longer working on Spider-Man games
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 7 Comments
Beenox worked on Spider-Man games for several years. The studio created Shattered Dimensions, Edge of Time, and both games for The Amazing Spider-Man in the span of five years. Despite Beenox’s involvement with Spider-Man since 2010, the company has now moved on.
Develop reports in its latest issue that Beenox is “no longer working on the Spider-Man IP”. That makes sense, as their output has been limited to Skylanders over the past few years. This year specifically, Beenox was in charge of Skylanders SuperChargers Racing for 3DS and Wii.
Beenox creative director Thomas Wilson told Develop about the studio’s transition:

NST wanted to make a new Wave Race for Wii, but Nintendo turned it down
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Videos | 20 Comments
Back in 2009, a small team at Nintendo Software Technology – otherwise known as NST – started work on a pitch for a new Wave Race game. The company was hoping to create a new entry in the series for Wii, and there were plans to take advantage of the Wii Remote by offering an original control scheme.
Ultimately, things weren’t meant to be. NST presented its prototype to Nintendo’s higher-ups in Japan, though some members of the board weren’t convinced by the controls, and there were some concerns about it being able to find an audience.
Take a look at the full report from Unseen64 below.
