What would ZombiU’s lead writer change with the team’s Wii U game?
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Gabrielle Shrager would change one aspect of ZombiU if given the chance. In an interview with Game Informer, the game’s lead writer and story design director said that she would add in more melee weapons.
“More melee weapons would be one of the first things on our list. Give me a halberd to keep those zombies back! The pickings in the Tower of London’s armory would feel like Christmas!”
ZombiU players do have the cricket bat at their disposal. However, as Shrager explained, it’s intended “to be used almost as a last resort”. Shrager would’ve liked to see additional weapons for those who depend on melee combat.
“The cricket bat was designed to be used almost as a last resort, significant because it’s such a violent assault on your senses. Players quickly learn that it won’t save their bacon against more than one zombie at a time (either the hard way, or by listening to the Prepper). Some players depend on it entirely instead of scavenging for ammo and new gear, and these players deserve a richer melee experience.”
GAME selling Monster Hunter 3 Double Pack
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 0 comments
Capcom has given us a dilemma. Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is coming out in March, but for two platforms: Wii U and 3DS. Which version should you buy? Some fans are thinking about picking up both.
For series followers in the UK, GAME has put up a pre-order page for a “Monster Hunter 3 Double Pack”. It includes Ultimate for Wii U and 3DS. Buying the two separately would set you back £73, so you’d saving a tiny bit by purchasing the Double Pack for £70.

Bravely Default ships 300,000 copies, producer teases future developments
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Bravely Default: Flying Fairy has been a smashing success for Square Enix. Since launch, the publisher shipped 300,000 copies throughout Japan.
Producer Tomoya Asano told 4Gamer:
“Yes, I’d like to report to everyone that Bravery Default has broken over 300,000 copies shipped. I think by the end of the month, the sales numbers will achieve 300,000.”
No one (well, aside from the folks at Square Enix) knows what lies in the future for Bravely Default, but the IP is far from done. Asano teased future developments while speaking with 4Gamer:
“The official [Bravely Default] Twitter account has been in a silent state lately, partly because the consumer camp has been all out of information. However, from this year to about next year, I’m thinking there are a lot of things that I want to prepare for everyone to look forward to, so please continue to follow the Twitter account. I want to share information with everyone as soon as developments start again, so thank you in advance.”

Crystal Dynamics talks Wii U, why Tomb Raider isn’t being made for Wii U
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Given how Tomb Raider’s launch is on the horizon – it’s coming out on March 5 – it’s safe to say that it won’t be heading to Wii U. That means Straight Right’s secret Wii U port for Square Enix is a different game.
But why isn’t Tomb Raider coming to Wii U? Creative director Noah Hughes explained:
