July 27, 2011 – London, Ontario – Big Blue Bubble Inc. announced today that Burn the Rope, the smash hit iPhone game with over 5 million downloads, will be setting Nintendo’s WiiWare service ablaze.
Now players can enjoy burning rope from the comfort of their living room! Just sit back on the couch and play Burn the Rope on the big screen with high resolution graphics, unique motion controls, and all the fiery fun of the original game.

Burn the Rope is a challenging game where you try to burn as much rope as you can in each level. There’s a catch! The fire only burns upwards, leaving you to rotate the level to keep your flame alive! As you progress through the levels, you’ll encounter different bugs crawling along the rope, each with their own unique reactions to the flame. For example, the ant changes the color of the flame so you can burn the corresponding colored ropes, and the spider shoots out a web bridge so you can access parts of the level that you could not before.

Inazuma Eleven was released in European territories earlier this year, but it never made it to the UK. That’ll be changing this August.

Build the ultimate football team and stand united against challenges that await on and off the pitch!

26th July 2011 – Get your Nintendo DS stylus ready and be prepared as football is about to enter a whole new dimension both on and off the pitch! Flying fireballs, power spins, sky kicks, teleporting strikers and over 1,000 different characters are all available in the palm of your hand – to help you build your ultimate football team. Inazuma Eleven, the “football meets action roleplay” game, has already gained acclaim from players in Europe and is now making its way to the UK and Ireland on 26th August 2011.

Inazuma Eleven has already been turned into a popular manga series that has been broadcast on TV in Asia and parts of Europe, but from Monday 25th July the series will premiere in the UK on Disney XD at 8.30am. The game coming exclusively to the Nintendo DS family of consoles follows the journey of teenage goalkeeper Mark Evans as he tries to recruit the best players possible for his school football team so that they can try to win the prestigious Football Frontier tournament. He will meet characters such as Axel Blaze, an extremely talented striker with a secret, and pit his skills against players like Jude Sharp, a playmaker for the rival Royal Academy team.

Harvest Moon creator Yasuhiro Wada is making a 3DS game and is also hoping to bring a new project to Wii U. Wada, who now owrks for Grasshopper, wasn’t ready to share details just yet.

“I’ve got a 3DS game in the pipeline right now, and I’ve got another game that we haven’t decided the platform on, but which I am hoping to bring to Wii U.”

Wada also seems positive about the console as a whole. He compared it to the DS, like many other developers, adding that Wii U contains “a lot of hidden potential”.

“Right now it feels like a home console version DS and I mean that in a good way. I think there is a lot of hidden potential there, so I am right now thinking up new modes of play. I really enjoy times like this!”

Update: There are some reports that the new firmware also adds colors for the StreetPass feature in 3DS Sound. The Internet browser has also received a new version, though it isn’t clear if it brings any new functionality.

A new 3DS firmware update is available for download for all system owners. Although the upgrade doesn’t add any significant functionality, users must apply the new software in order to access features such as system transfers. Nintendo describes the update as “further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience.”

The last major update for the 3DS was released on June 6, which added the eShop, Internet browser, and system transfer tool. Firmware 2.1.0-3U was issued a little more than a week later to fix an issue with Ridge Racer 3D.

The latest firmware is 2.1.0-4U. As the menu name suggests, it’s not a significant upgrade.

Epic Games seems quite serious about Wii U. Unlike the Wii, which they found difficult to support due to the console’s specifications, Nintendo’s upcoming console is on par, if not more powerful than other platforms on the market. As a result, President Mike Capps is very excited about the platform, going as far as to say that “it is going to be a powerful box.”

“We haven’t made an official announcement about that platform. And while we loved the Wii, it just wasn’t a fit to make a game that would go across Xbox 360, PS3 and the Wii. It just wasn’t possible. So going forward, we’re working with those folks and we’re very interested in the Wii U. We find that the best way to support a platform is to be making a game for it and we don’t currently have a game in development for that platform. For example, we don’t officially support Android, although we have demos that work on Android… But we officially support iPhone because we’ve made a game and we know it works. We know how to get through the certification process – we know it cold. That’s sort of important to me; as a game developer who’s selling an engine, I want to make sure that I can ship a game on it myself, which is why we have very clear public support of PS3, Xbox 360, PC and iPhone but not as clear when it comes to Android or Wii U. At the launch event at E3, some of the products that you saw running on Wii U were based on Unreal Engine technology. So that kind of gives you an idea of where we are in that space. You can certainly use our engine on that platform – it’s a natural fit from a technology perspective. It opens up some doors that weren’t open before on current generation consoles because it is going to be a powerful box. I’m sure [Epic VP] Mark Rein would love anyone who’s interested to know how official our support is to get in touch with him!”
