Nyamyam unsure about making a Wii U exclusive given the risk
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 3 Comments
Tengami creator Nyamyam was asked by one fan on Twitter today if the studio would ever consider making a Wii U exclusive. Nyamyam pointed out that making games exclusive to the platform is “risky” at this point, and the company would need “to see how the platform develops.”
@GoldMetalSonic It is very risky to do a Wii U exclusive at this point. Would have to see how the platform develops.
— Nyamyam (@nyamyamgames) December 30, 2014
@GoldMetalSonic I guess it would depend on whether the development costs were completely covered up front.
— Nyamyam (@nyamyamgames) December 30, 2014
As for future Wii U support in general, it sounds like Nyamyam would be open to making additional titles in the future. The studio “would love to make games” for the Nintendo community, which “is super fun.”
@GoldMetalSonic It is not all that bad. The Nintendo community is super fun. I would love to make games for them.

Trashmania Trilogy moved back to late May/early June, will feature online functionality
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
When we last heard about Trashmania Trilogy, the download was targeted for Q1 2015 on Wii U. Those plans have since changed.
Creator Jonathon Bont took to Twitter today and confirmed that Trashmania Trilogy has been pushed back to late May/early June. This is due to “the unexpected size the project has grown to.”
To make up for the delay news, Bont confirmed that Trashmania Trilogy will feature online functionality. There will be “online leaderboards for Classic+ and custom level sharing for Remix+”, and Bont teased that “the latter approaches level sharing in a unique way.”
It's official: I'm pushing Trashmania Trilogy's release date to late May/early June 2015. #wiiu
— Jonathon Bont (@Animan13) December 28, 2014
Official reasons are not technical or Wii U specific issues, but instead a lack of time and the unexpected size the project has grown to.
— Jonathon Bont (@Animan13) December 28, 2014
HOWEVER, as a way of saying sorry, here's an announcement to cheer you guys up: online functionality is being worked on!
— Jonathon Bont (@Animan13) December 28, 2014
Specifically, online leaderboards for Classic+ and custom level sharing for Remix+… the latter approaches level sharing in a unique way.
— Jonathon Bont (@Animan13) December 28, 2014
I won't give away what makes it unique, but I'll just say it's different from how it's normally done. 😉

The Music of 2014 – Have Your Say!
Posted on 9 years ago by Patrick(@Patricklous) in 3DS, 3DS eShop, Features, Podcast, Reader Poll, Wii U, Wii U eShop | 3 Comments
It’s that time of year again! Last year’s game music podcast seemed to go over much better than I expected a two-hour show to, so let’s do the same thing for the soundtracks from this year. And once again I’m looking for reader (listener?) input to help put the thing together and narrow down a top 10 list.
The rules are pretty much the same as last year. Vote here to rate each of the twenty shortlisted games and add in any comments if you have them (you can also use that section to tell me if neglected to include certain soundtracks). Since some of them were included in last year’s show, the voting excludes games that were released in other regions last year like Bravely Default, but not ones like Fantasy Life that I previously forgot about. I’ve also excluded any games with an English release confirmed for next year like Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate – save it for the 2015 list! There are a handful of games like Guacamelee on the list that were released on other platforms last year, but as 2014 was their first showing on a Nintendo platform they’re up for voting.
So please get your votes in and look forward to the final podcast whenever it posts. Maybe there’ll be guests or co-hosts this time? Who can say. Since I’ll be out of the country for a while – I’ll probably have left by the time this posts – don’t expect any results until mid-January at the earliest. That’s kind of late for a retrospective, but I’m sure you’re all sick of top-10 lists at the moment. I know I sure am after putting together all that Nintendo DS stuff.
