No North American Nintendo Direct tomorrow
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Tomorrow’s Nintendo Direct appears to be a Japanese-only affair. Nintendo of America has confirmed that it won’t be broadcasting its own pre-recorded video, and Nintendo of Europe hasn’t announced anything on its end either.
So… keep those expectations in check, folks! It will be a smaller affair compared to June’s presentation.

Umbra becomes a Wii U partner
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
A couple of weeks ago, middleware-maker Umbra announced that it became an official Wii U partner. Third-parties can now use the company’s tools for upcoming projects.
It’s already been confirmed that Mass Effect 3 will be making use of Umbra’s technology. The game will be out for the Wii U’s launch.
Nintendo hosting retailer meeting this week
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Tomorrow’s Nintendo Direct isn’t the only important Nintendo-happening of the week. The Big N is also planning on holding a retailer meeting sometime within the next few days.
Sinobi, the source of the news, has high hopes that there will be news on Animal Crossing: Jump Out. Nintendo will likely have a final Japanese release date for this title since it is due for release this fall. There’s a very strong chance that it will have a strong presence at the retail meeting as well as tomorrow’s Nintendo Direct.
Senran Kagura Burst producer interested in making another entry on 3DS
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Any future Senran Kagura game would likely come to the 3DS. Marvelous AQL producer Kenichiro Takaki, speaking with Nintendo Dream, told the magazine that he’d be interested in making Senran Kagura 2 for the handheld, assuming Burst sells well and players enjoy the experience.
If a sequel were to be made, Takaki would look to offer brand new gameplay that would provide even more stimulating hyper battle play.
Nintendo Dream reports that Burst contains a hint concerning the future of the franchise in the form of a “bonus”. We don’t know what this is yet, but we’ll likely find out once players get their hands on the title.

Rumor: Telltale to make more Back to the Future games
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Rumors, Wii | 0 comments
Telltale made a number of Back to the Future adventure grahpic games last year. Amid the series’ success, rumor has it that the developer will be returning to the IP in the near future.
One GameSpot reader claims that Doc Brown actor Christopher Lloyd told FanExpo attendees about his plans to once again provide voice work for an unannounced Back to the Future title.
Beyond this, Lloyd had nothing additional to share. Telltale Games is remaining mum for now, saying:
“We are unable to comment on any unannounced titles or projects from Telltale Games.”
Telltale has been focusing on its Walking Dead titles, so we may not receive a confirmation regarding a new Back to the Future game (or series) until that’s all wrapped up. But given the popularity of the first few releases, it wouldn’t be surprising if an announcement is made sooner rather than later.
