New Infinity Ward game in the works
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
“We’re excited to announce that in the recent months we have decided to reup on our contract with Activision publishing. The recently renegotiated deal may not seem like much of an impact from the outside perspective, but it has laid the ground work and kick started our future project, as well as the possibility of a unique new IP by Infinity Ward, that we’ll have complete control over. We’re excited to be working on our next project, but it’s going to be quite a while before I can share any details on exactly what that project is.” – Infinity Ward website/blog
As is the case in most of these situations, we really have no idea about any possible details about a new Infinity Ward game. Also, this means that the new title could be heading to a Nintendo platform.

This week’s additions to the Wii™ Shop Channel are bigger, stronger and faster. It’s all about excess with these electrifying titles.

ReWind may not be dead after all
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments
Some of you may recall the game ReWind, an on-rails shooter thatTwo Tribes announced a few years ago for the Nintendo DS. Information has been laying on the company’s website for years, without a single update. Just recently, however, a new press release has been sent out which seems to reveal that ReWind is still alive and kickin’. The odd thing about the whole situation though is that the press release includes no new details about the game. Generally speaking, press releases are meant to discuss the features/gameplay elements of the title, yet Two Tribes has not done so with its latest press release.

New Thunder Force game in development
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
A brief post on TecnoSoft’s webpage shows that a new Thunder Force title is coming. No information other than the image posted above is shown, so any details like a timeframe for additional information, general gameplay facts, and system the new game will be releasing for are all conspiciously absent. TechnoSoft has released games in the series for the SNES and PlayStation, so the Wii and PS3 are most likely the best possible candidates for the release of the new Thunder Force game. However, that’s not to say that it’s impossible the title will not release for the 360, and it could very well go multiplatform.
