Twisted Fusion pushed back to Q1 2015
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Leuvsion has decided to delay Twisted Fusion to the first quarter of 2015. Originally, the game was planned for a December 2014 launch. Twisted Fusion’s launch may have been delayed, but the extra time will allow for extra features such as 5-player co-op.
Sorry all for the delayed release #TwistedFusion moved from December to Q1 2015, but means lots of extra goodies like 5 player co-op

Discussing Everything #2 update
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Discussing Everything | 2 Comments
One last bump for this, as Discussing Everything is today! You can find a countdown here.
Last week’s debut of Discussing Everything went much better than I initially expected. There were plenty of discussions about a wide array of topics, and we ended up continuing the talk for an extra hour!
I do want to maintain the momentum we gained last week by hosting another Discussing Everything on Sunday. However, I unfortunately have something personal to attend to… meaning this week’s event will be on the short side. We’ll again be kicking things off at 4 PM ET / 1 PM PT, but due to the short nature of the talk, it will be entirely dedicated to Super Smash Bros. for 3DS. I imagine you guys will have plenty to say in any case given that the game is launching on Friday!
So join us on Sunday to chat a bit about the new Smash Bros. Hope to see some of you then!

Underground is a new puzzle-action game for Wii U that can help train surgeons
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 5 Comments
Underground is not your typical title. Four years ago, Grendel Games – in cooperation with the University Medical Center Groningen and LIMIS Foundation – set out to create an experience for Wii that can be used to help surgeons in training. Development is still ongoing, but Underground has almost come to fruition – and as a Wii U release.
“It is true that the title was initially planned for Wii, but as it seemed the whole Wii market was starting to fade out, so we switched to Wii U,” producer Stavros Tsikinas told Nintendo Everything. “For serious purposes (surgeon training), that wouldn’t make a significant difference, because either way the game would be used. On the other hand, we wanted to get into the Wii U market for the commercial reasons. Those four years were very intensive, difficult, tiring, but very rewarding as well.”
