Online leaderboards could head to Chasing Aurora in an update
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
When Chasing Aurora releases on Sunday, it won’t come with online leaderboards. But Broken Rules, the game’s developer, says that it is already working on online scores. If Chasing Aurora proves successful, the studio will be open to adding in the feature through an update.
“We’ve started implementing online scores and if the game is any success we’ll add it in an update.
Chasing Aurora also don’t feature online play. Explaining the decision behind this, Broken Rules said:
“Online multiplayer for a fast-paced action game requires either an existing engine (which usually is not available? at the launch of a console because things take time) or a much larger team than we have. The problem is not so much the networking code itself, but integrating match-making, writing stable server code, cheat-prevention. So we focussed on making a game to play together in one room.”
Japanese Club Nintendo platinum rewards: Nintendouji, Mario cards, Pikmin tote bag, calendar

Japan’s Club Nintendo platinum rewards were announced today. The downloadable game Nintendouji, a set of Mario playing cards, a Pikmin tote bag, and Club Nintendo 2013 calendar are among the prizes.
Nintendouji is probably the most-interesting of the bunch. It’s a turn-based card title for DSiWare with dungeon-crawler and RPG aspects. Nintendouji’s name, which is a pun, means “Nintendo Boy”.
Nintendouji will be available for those who choose the prize in March 2013.

A new Wii update is now available for download. Given its successor will be out in just a few days, this could be the old console’s final firmware upgrade.
Nintendo hasn’t officially said what the new update does. One probable guess is that by applying firmware, you’ll be able to transfer content from the Wii to Wii U.

We initially weren’t sure if BlayzBloo: Clone Phantasma, announced via Famitsu yesterday, would be a downloadable title like its predecessor. Additional information confirms this will be the case. Japanese 3DS users will be able to download Clone Phantasma from the eShop this winter.
According to Famitsu, ten playable characters – such as Ragna, Noel, and Jin – and seven stages will be included. It offers a wacky story mode as well, apparently.
