Blizzard on chances of StarCraft Wii U, console possibilities
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 0 comments
Starcraft 64 was the last time Blizzard Entertainment assisted in development of a Nintendo console game. There was StarCraft: Ghost, too, but that’s practically vaporware at this point.
So yes, it’s been quite some time since Blizzard was actively involved with a Nintendo system. But could the studio work on the Wii U in the future?
When StarCraft II lead designer Dustin Browder was asked this question, he admitted that he wasn’t familiar with the console. After receiving an explanation of the GamePad, Browder said:

We have some unfortunate news to report on for our Australian readers. Sadly, Kirby’s 20th Anniversary Special Collection won’t be releasing in the continent.
A Nintendo customer service representative delivered the news. It wasn’t said why Nintendo of Australia has decided to move in this direction. The representative simply stated, “Kirby 20th Anniversary Collection at this stage.”

Renowned “Baddest Man on the Planet” to Make Flagship WWE Videogame Franchise Debut Through Exclusive Pre-Order Offer
AGOURA HILLS, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Jun. 19, 2012– The campaign premise of “Live the Revolution” continues, as THQ Inc. (NASDAQ: THQI) today announced the return of the incomparable Mike Tyson to the ring – virtually – in WWE® ’13, the revolutionary next installment in the WWE flagship videogame franchise. Often touted as the “baddest man on the planet,” the boxing legend and former undisputed heavyweight champion of the world will be available as an exclusive playable character for consumers who pre-order the videogame at any participating retailer in the United States or Canada for the Xbox 360® videogame and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system or the Wii™ system from Nintendo (while supplies last).
Tyson made headlines with WWE (NYSE: WWE) in early 1998 as part of the company’s groundbreaking “Attitude Era,” a time period prominently featured in WWE ’13 through a brand new single-player campaign. He is best remembered for his appearances leading up to and at WrestleMania® XIV, where he was recruited by D-Generation X (DX) to serve as a ringside enforcer during the main event match between DX member Shawn Michaels® and Stone Cold Steve Austin® for the WWE Championship. Tyson, sporting a sleeveless DX t-shirt and black jeans – the same look as his playable character in WWE ’13 – interfered in the match, allowing Austin to secure the victory and ultimately abandoning his presumed alliance with the renegade faction. Tyson returned to WWE on January 11, 2010 as a guest host on Monday Night Raw® and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame on April 2, 2012.
3DS Game Card Case may not return to Club Nintendo
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
If you’ve been interested in the Club Nintendo 3DS Game Card Case, hopefully you picked one up before it went out of stock.
Why would I say something like that? Well, a Nintendo of America customer service representative recently hinted that the reward may not return.
The person said:
“Thanks for contacting us about the Nintendo DS/3DS 18 Game Card Case. Please note that this reward was produced in limited quantities, so it is unlikely that we’ll be getting more in stock. I will, however, document your interest in this particular reward on the record of feedback for this item. If additional supplies become available again in the future, we’ll be sure to update the Rewards section of Club Nintendo (https://club.nintendo.com/rewards.do). Since we’ll be unable to alert you if this happens, we ask that you check back periodically.”
The 3DS Game Card Case has been one of the site’s most popular rewards, so hopefully Nintendo will think about replenishing stock in the future.
