Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
New downloadable content is coming to Star Wars Pinball. The “Balance of the Force” tables see the arrival of three new themes: Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi, Starfighter Assault and a tribute table based on the notorious Darth Vader.
Here’s the overview of each:
The fate of the galaxy is in your hands! Help the rebellion destroy the Sith and the fearsome Death Star in the Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi table. Aid Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Chewbacca, Princess Leia, Lando Calrissian, R2-D2, and C-3PO in their fight against the Sith in order to restore peace to the galaxy.
Pay tribute to the Dark Lord of the Sith in a table dedicated to Darth Vader. Use the dark side of the Force to mercilessly pursue the Jedi and Rebel Alliance and face off with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker.
Support the Rebel Alliance’s Fleet or the Galactic Empire’s Armada, as you lead your side to victory in Star Wars™: Starfighter Assault. The table features legendary Starfighters like the X-wing and TIE Fighter, and iconic vessels like the Millennium Falcon and the Death Star II.
Star Wars Pinball: Balance of the Force content will be available this fall for existing Star Wars Pinball games and Zen Studios pinball platforms on digital stores. You can find the first screenshots above.

Tribute Games not currently planning Mercenary Kings for Wii U, but “would love to go back on Nintendo consoles at some point”
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii U eShop | 2 Comments
A few months ago, there was talk of Tribute Games becoming a licensed Nintendo developer. Some thought such news could result in a Wii U version of Mercenary Kings. However, while we’ve received official confirmation of Tribute’s dev status, the studio informed us that there aren’t any plans at present to bring the game over to Nintendo’s console.
Tribute co-founder Jean-Francois Major explained: “Considering the size of our team, we have to pick our battles.” For now, the company is focused on completing the PlayStation 4 and PC versions.
“In the end, we pick where we go to next based on where we see getting the biggest audience. A lot of people have been asking for a Vita port, not so much a Wii U one. So it can always help us guide our decisions.”
On the bright side, we were told that as former Game Boy Advance developers, Tribute “would love to go back on Nintendo consoles at some point.”

Drop could come to Wii U and 3DS if Kickstarter stretch goals are reached
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 5 Comments
Drop, a new indie action game, has a shot of coming to Nintendo platforms. A Wii U version will be created if Kickstarter funds hit $220,000. A 3DS version is further away at $310,000.
Now, what about the actual goal? That comes in at $85,000 CAD. The campaign will have until October 9 to reach that target.
You can find details about Drop over at the Kickstarter page here.
Mighty Switch Force! 2 is coming to Wii U thanks to fan feedback, will look a bit different
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
Mighty Switch Force! 2 wasn’t always planned for Wii U. WayForward’s James Montagna told Siliconera that the Wii U version came about due to fan feedback.
Montagna said:
“On Miiverse, the Mighty Switch Force community has been very vocal about bringing Mighty Switch Force 2 to the Wii U. We had no intentions of bringing it to the Wii U, originally. [Mighty Switch Force: Hyperdrive Edition] was an experiment, something we just wanted to try out—but [because of feedback] we are bringing Mighty Switch Force 2 to the Wii U. We caved.”
Interestingly, it sounds like Mighty Switch Force! 2 will adopt a unique style on Wii U. According to Montagna, ” it won’t be quite like Hyperdrive Edition”.
“It’s a pixel version of the game with high-definition interstitial screens, so it won’t be quite like Hyperdrive Edition or anything like that.”
Mighty Switch Force! is tentatively scheduled to arrive on Nintendo’s console in October.
Mighty No. 9 receives new stretch goals, handheld versions still possible
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 8 Comments
Mighty No. 9’s Kickstarter campaign has been updated with several new stretch goals.
The next closest target is the boss rush mode at $2 million. Wii U, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 versions still stand at $2.2 million, followed by a challenge mode at $2.4 million, extra end stage and boss at $2.55 million, beck & call online co-op challenge mode at $2.75 million, and PlayStation 4/Xbox One versions at $3.3 million.
3DS and PlayStation Vita versions are still absent from Mighty No. 9’s Kickstarter. However, they’re still very much in consideration. Even if they aren’t added as stretch goals, a release on handhelds could still be made a reality through “other” means.
Handhelds are still a possibility! Just because you don’t see them in this next set of goals doesn’t mean we aren’t working on this. : ) We know many of you have been asking about the possibility of Vita and 3DS versions of Mighty No. 9, so now we know the desire is most definitely there — what’s left is to figure out if the money and production realities can make this possible. We wish we could say more at this point, but we can say this: There might be other ways to make this happen (besides stretch goals) that we are currently investigating. (Or maybe it will end up being a later stretch goal after all?)
