Kamiya willing to field tweets about potential Wonderful 101 sequel
Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
The Wonderful 101 director Hideki Kamiya has expressed on more than one occasion that he’d love to make a sequel to the Wii U game. Generally speaking, developers use cut ideas from the first title when creating a follow-up for a new IP, but in the case of The Wonderful 101, the team used up everything.
That’s where the fans come in. Hideki Kamiya is interested in fielding ideas and suggestions for super heroes to join the cast in a potential sequel.
Twitter is the best (and only) way to get in touch with Kamiya. You can tweet at him here.
Here’s a Podcast – Episode 56!
Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in Features, Podcast | 0 comments
One of the many topics we discussed: The 2DS.
Laura sadly had to miss another week, and Aysha couldn’t fill in! This means it’s our first two-man show ever, and I’d say that in spite of that it worked out pretty well. We kick things off with a discussion on the merits of EDGE’s ‘Top Ten Consoles’ list, followed by what we played (Super Mario 3D Land, Hotline Miami), news (2DS, Wii U price cut), listener mail, and the book club discussion on Earthbound.

Sorry that this is going up on the site a tad late. I was out of office (“office”) yesterday and couldn’t post it, but here it is now! Two glitches from Mario Kart Wii, another highly requested title. Enjoy!
Activision Publishing CEO says yearly Call of Duty releases “have found a nice equilibrium with peoples’ appetite”
Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in General Gaming, News, Wii U | 1 Comment
“Having alternating studios is one of the secrets to the franchise’s success. You have different creative people who are strong-willed and have minds of their own. Everyone gets what makes a great Call of Duty game. Treyarch and IW are the masters, and have built this thing. So, there’s a lot of common DNA from year to year. But then people come in and want to top each other. There’s some healthy competition. There’s a desire within the creative team to not do the same thing and not be stagnant, the same way there is in the player community.”
– Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg
Hirshberg also mentioned how Call of Duty releases have become a sort of “pop culture event” that people want to take part in simply because it’s topical. He compared to to the release of Avatar (2009 movie), saying “a lot of non-hardcore sci-fi fans saw Avatar because it was an event. You felt you had to be a part of it. We’ve reached the status with Call of Duty of this sort of pop-cultural inevitability.”

It’ll make more sense by the end of the podcast.
Where’s Laura!? Unfortunately due to some unintentional scheduling conflicts, she had to miss this episode. Filling in for her is someone you may recognize name of “Aysha”, who takes over all of Laura’s regular duties in order to keep our podcast ship sailing. We talk about Animal Crossing vs. Harvest Moon, how Nintendo should market Wii U, and whether or not gameplay-driven games are going “out of style”– in addition to news, listener mail, etc.
Despite the temporary loss of everyone’s favorite podcast gal, I think we managed to scrape together something pretty dang good! Enjoy.

[Double Feature] Eggbusters – LEGO City Undercover, Twilight Princess REDUX Revisit
Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in Eggbusters, Features, Videos, Wii U | 4 Comments
I’m never doing two Eggbusters in one week again. I nearly died trying to get these out even remotely on time I think! But they turned out pretty good.
If you’ve never played LEGO City Undercover, I still suggest checking out the video. It’s one of my new favorite episodes!

Lead writer compares Assassin’s Creed IV to the first two games in the series, includes open-ended assassinations
Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
“I think we were actually looking back at Assassin’s Creed Revelations and Assassin’s Creed 3, both of which had kind of gone towards a more linear Uncharted style of experience. We wanted to go back to Assassin’s Creed 1/Assasson’s Creed 2 style open-ended assassinations, so even before we saw the result of what Assassin’s Creed 3 was doing, we just knew this was a philosophy we wanted to follow.”
– Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag lead writer Darby McDevitt
Darby also talked about the character of Edward Kenway, saying he’s perhaps a bit more like Ezio (ACII, Revelations) than Connor (ACIII) in terms of personality, but ultimately he’s different than any other characters in the franchise.
