Europe getting Bayonetta 1 disc with Bayonetta 2 retail release?
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii U | 7 Comments
There’s been a bit of confusion surrounding how Nintendo will be distributing Bayonetta 1 when Bayonetta 2 releases. We initially heard that this offer would only be available with retail copies in the states, though it was later clarified that the eShop release is also included.
And yesterday, Nintendo revealed that Bayonetta 2 would indeed ship with a separate disc in Japan. This seems to be the case in Europe as well.
Check out this excerpt from Amazon UK’s Bayonetta 2 listing:
Bayonetta comes packed in with the purchase of every retail packaged version of Bayonetta 2.
At this point, I have no clue what’s happening. Hopefully Nintendo will make things absolutely clear soon.

From Nothing Game Studios is currently wrapping up work on GravBlocks+. The game will be available sometime this summer.
GravBlocks+ is a match-3 game that has players switching gravity to maximize combos and avoid environmental dangers. It was originally released for smart devices as GravBlocks, though the Wii U version features “a rebuilt engine, new graphics, a new story mode, extra accomplishments, 50 more puzzle stages, and GamePad-centered gameplay with easy on-the-fly switching between touchscreen and controller input”.
You can find a trailer for GravBlocks+ above.

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
Zen Studios hasn’t done too much with Wii U as of late. For example, the company announced a new Deadpool table today for Zen Pinball 2 (and its other pinball platforms), though Wii U wasn’t mentioned among the supported systems.
Despite the lack of Wii U news, Zen Studios says it hasn’t dropped its support for the console.
Community manager Bobby Loertscher wrote on the company’s forums:
We have not dropped support for the Wii U, we are going to try to get more content out to you guys. I will post when I have more firm details on what and when

Aonuma reflects on Zelda: Skyward Sword’s tutorials, will be careful with them going forward
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii, Wii U | 9 Comments
One of the more common complaints with The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword concerned the game’s tutorials. Many felt that there were too many of them, especially at the beginning.
This is something that series producer Eiji Aonuma has learned from. Aonuma told Kotaku that he now understands “that when you go out and buy a game, you buy the game because you want to play it, and you don’t want to have any obstacles in the way.” Additionally, he admitted that Skyward Sword’s tutorials were “frontloaded”.
Aonuma said this was all “a real learning experience for me”, and he’ll “be careful not to do that.”
