Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 0 comments
Spanish video game site Blogocio was recently given an opportunity to speak with Jose M. Iñiguez, Akaoni Studio’s director. The company is currently working on Zombie Panic in Wonderland for the 3DS eShop and have started a new project.
The folks over at Blogocio provided Nintendo Everything with a short summary of their interview. Iñiguez discussed Zombie Panic in Wonderland 3DS, their new project, and Wii U.
The translation is slightly wonky, but it makes sense… for the most part!
Zombie Panic in Wonderland 3DS
– The port of Zombie Panic in Wonderland is going well.
– Nintendo Europe has been encouraging.
– They are very excited.
– Focusing on the project 100% now.
– Possibly arriving at Christmas.
New Project
– Now beginning a new project.
– They want it to be very striking visually.
– Platform not yet announced.
– It’s for PC at the conceptual level, but the developer is interested in the 3DS as a possible platform.
Wii U
– Don’t have a development kit.
– All Japanese developers who have spoken with them say it is full of surprises that will surprise people much more than what at first seems.

Call of Duty: Black Ops II website open
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
There are lots of Call of Duty: Black Ops II updates to be had ahead of the game’s official reveal later today.
First up, the official website for Black Ops 2 has opened. You can access it here. Unconfirmed screenshots are here. Most content is currently unavailable, though that will definitely change sometime tonight.
The site does contain the following description of the title:
“Pushing the boundaries of what fans have come to expect from the record-setting entertainment franchise, Call of Duty®: Black Ops 2 propels players into a near future, 21st Century Cold War, where technology and weapons have converged to create a new generation of warfare.”
Now… one point about this: the game lists PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC versions of Black Ops II. As usual, we have no idea if it’ll be coming to a Nintendo platform. It wasn’t until August that we found out about Modern Warfare III for Wii. And if there is a Wii U version in the works, it’s possible Activision will keep quiet until E3.

I’ll let this interview excerpt from Metro do the rest of the talking…

When it comes to full retail game downloads on Wii U and 3DS, Nintendo won’t be leaving third-parties out in the cold. The company has a program in the works for other publishers to take advantage of their digital options on both platforms. Unsurprisingly though, they’re keeping quiet on the specifics.
Nintendo provided the following statement regarding third-party downloads for Wii U and 3DS:
“We are currently preparing a program for third parties but have nothing specific to announce at this time.”
