Team Ninja wants to make Ninja Gaiden III innovative for Wii U, won’t rush development
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
As far as we know, Tecmo Koei is still preparing Ninja Gaiden III: Razor’s Edge for the launch of Wii U. It doesn’t sound like Team Ninja is looking to rush the game out the door, though.
Team Ninja head Yosuke Hayashi told IndustryGamers that the studio is looking “to take some time to figure out how to make Ninja Gaiden 3 innovative and fit with the hardware.”
He said:
“Right now, we want to develop for Wii U, but we need to take some time to figure out how to make Ninja Gaiden 3 innovative and fit the hardware. We’ll think about Wii U and see how we can implement new features instead of rushing it.”
Harada’s team has been busy researching Wii U’s capabilities
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Tekken series producer Katsuhiro Harada isn’t sure about which Wii U feature he’s most looking forward to working with. That’s because he (along with his team) has been “in the research phase” of investigating the console’s hardware.
Harada told Nintendo Gamer in its February issue:
“We’re still in the research phase of the capabilities of the hardware so we’re not sure about which aspect is really going to stand out. We probably won’t understand that fully until some time next year.”
Keep in mind that this interview was conducted in late 2011. I’m sure Harada’s team has made some progress on Wii U since then. I wonder if he’s still working on that new Tekken project for the system…
Thanks to joclo for the tip!

Two Tribes “to do everything in our power” to bring Toki Tori 2 to Wii U
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
When Toki Tori 2 was announced late last year, Two Tribes said that the company would “support multiple platforms”, including Nintendo systems.
Two Tribes today confirmed that they will “do everything in our power to make sure Toki Tori 2 graces Nintendo’s upcoming HD console as well”.
Two Tribes explained in a new blog post:
Rumor: Ubisoft Vancouver was working on MotionSports Wii U
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Last month, Ubisoft closed its Vancouver subsidiary. This was the studio behind the likes of Academy of Champions for Wii.
Before Ubisoft Vancouver shut down, they may have been working on MotionSports Wii U as a launch title for the console. The project was likely cancelled as the studio is now defunct.
Superannuation tweeted earlier today:
“Also, it sounds like Ubisoft Vancouver was working on a MotionSports WiiU launch title—now presumably dead—at the time of their closure.”
