Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii | 0 comments
According to an unnamed scan which has surfaced on a Japanese forum, the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series is moving from the DS to WiiWare. A partial translation of the scan is now available and apparently, there are three titles in development: Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Keep Going! Blazing Adventure Squad, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Let’s Go! Stormy Adventure Squad!, and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Go For It! Light Adventure Squad. It would be wise to mark this as a rumor for now considering no one is aware of which magazine the scan is from. However, there have been a few Pokemon games on WiiWare thus far and bringing the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series to the service may freshen things up a bit.

Suda wants to surpass Ubisoft’s Petz games in No More Heroes 2

No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle Executive Director Suda 51 is poking a bit of fun at Ubisoft. Ubisoft is notorious for releasing Petz titles on the Nintendo DS. Needless to say, the series has been greatly disparaged by video game enthusiasts. In No More Heroes 2, Suda 51 has explained that Travis’ cat will return and there may be a mini-game addded. He said that he wishes to make that lone mini-game “even better” than entries in the Petz franchise.
“Jeane, Travis’ cat from No More Heroes 1 will be back but maybe with a little more weight. We’re thinking about making a mini-game where you put her on a diet. We want it to be even better than Ubisoft’s Petz titles.”
