Walmart pre-orders for the gold Mario amiibo are “a small fraction” of total amount that will be available

Walmart opened online pre-orders for the gold Mario amiibo last week. However, in just a few minutes, reservations sold out. If you’re one of the people who missed out on the pre-orders, there’s no need to panic… yet.
Nintendo said on its Facebook page today that Walmart’s pre-orders “represent just a small fraction of product made available in advance of the launch.” Consumers will still be able to find gold Mario at Walmart stores.
Remember preorders are just a part of the Mario #amiibo Gold Edition story. Pick one up at a @Walmart store on 3/20. pic.twitter.com/6aPAKubu9k

Newly-announced Unity 5 will support Wii U
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 5 Comments
Update: Interestingly, Unity 5 isn’t available for Wii U just yet. We’re not quite sure why. Unity told one developer: “We don’t have any information on a release time frame right now.” Stay tuned!
Unity 5 was announced and released today. Given the engine’s strong support for Wii U, it comes as no surprise that this latest version will also work on the console. We won’t delve too far into the technical aspects, but Unity 5 features elements like a new physics engine, more flexibility with animation, and is more efficient compared to previous versions.

Gone Home no longer in the works for Wii U as all console ports are now shelved
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 20 Comments
It was revealed last August that Gone Home would be coming to Wii U. Midnight City, Majesco’s indie publishing label, was in charge of handling the port.
The lack of news since then was never an encouraging sign, and designer Steve Gaynor has now confirmed that Gone Home’s console ports have been shelved. The game “is not actively in development any longer” for consoles, Gaynor confirmed during a Kinda Funny Games live stream. Additionally, Fullbright’s “deal with Majesco has sadly come to an end.”
Gaynor’s comments in full:
And, unfortunately, we don’t have exciting, good news about that, I wish I did. Yeah, it’s been quite a while, and as you kind of sensed, there’s been some delays and maybe you have seen some things that have changed with Majesco. At this point, unfortunately, I have to acknowledge that Gone Home for console is not actively in development any longer. That deal with Majesco has sadly come to an end. So, we don’t really know what that means for Gone Home for console for us. In the immediate term, it’s no longer a going thing.
Fullbright does appear to still be interested in bringing Gone Home to consoles. For now though, the team is working on its next game known as Tacoma.
