Reggie on leading Nintendo’s staff during the dark days of Wii U and the company’s constant reinvention
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 0 comments
While Nintendo was at the top of its game during the Wii era, the same can’t be said of Wii U. Wii managed to sell 100 million units while Wii U unfortunately couldn’t even make it to 15 million. There were certainly dark times, but Nintendo navigated through those difficult years and has found success once again with Switch.
During an appearance at GeekSummit earlier this month, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime was asked about how he and the company as a whole went about leading its staff during the Wii U era and keep them believing in their larger vision. Reggie’s response included a note about Nintendo’s constant reinvention, that the Big N is about doing things differently from others, and how “there will always be stumbles along the way.”

Wargroove “in the final stages of development”, now planned for Q1 2019
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
One of the more anticipated indie games in the works for Switch is Wargroove. First confirmed for the console last March, Chucklefish has been toying away on development since then. There’s one major question fans have, though: when will it launch? That’s something Chucklefish has now addressed.
The last release window given for Wargroove was during the second half of 2018. Unfortunately, that’s no longer happening. The good news is that Wargroove is “in the final stages of development”. However, we’ll now be seeing it in Q1 2019 “to allow us to provide players with a really robust package when the big day comes”.

Ubisoft started working on Starlink’s Star Fox collaboration before Nintendo green-lit the idea
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Ubisoft has spoken about how it started its partnership with Nintendo on Star Fox’s Starlink inclusion a few different times. It all started back when Ubisoft unveiled the project at E3 2017, with Nintendo expressing interest in collaborating after trying out a demo at the show. What we didn’t know is that Ubisoft already started on things before the team received permission.
In an interview with Okay Cool, producer Matthew Rose said Ubisoft “started right away” merely because the developers were excited by the initial conversations with Nintendo. Rose also mentioned that the team “started drawing concepts, we made a 3D-printed Arwing that had their proper connectors and toys in it so that you could take it apart and everything.”
