[Interview] VD-Dev talks IronFall – StreetPass support, tech details, and lots more
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, Interviews, Wii U | 7 Comments
Despite only releasing a single off-screen image from the project thus far, VD-Dev is already turning heads with IronFall. The new 3DS eShop game, a brand new third-person shooter with Gears of War-styled gameplay, has caught the attention of many for its seemingly-impressive visuals. The attention thus far is deserved – VD-Dev is the same team which managed to bring a full open world to the DS (see C.O.P. The Recruit).
We recently caught up with VD-Dev co-founder Fernando Velez to learn more about IronFall. For our full interview, read on below.

No Need for Speed: Rivals for Wii U due to poor sales of Most Wanted
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 8 Comments
Last year’s Need for Speed game, Most Wanted, landed on Wii U earlier this year as a late (but impressive) port. The same can’t be said of this year’s release, Rivals.
Rivals’ non-appearance on Wii U can be attributed to one reason: sales. Creative director Craig Sullivan provided the TSA with the following explanation regarding the decision to leave the platform out of the mix this year:

2DS screen repair costs more than $65
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 6 Comments
You could argue that it’d be tougher to break a 2DS than a 3DS or 3DS XL. After all, unlike its counterparts, Nintendo’s latest handheld iteration lacks a hinge.
Still, the 2DS’ screens are a bit vulnerable. There is no clamshell design, so they’re always exposed.
Let’s say you were to break the system’s screens. How much would a fix cost?
One unlucky girl recently found her system destroyed after dropping it down a flight of concrete stairs, causing the screens to break entirely. Nintendo offered to provide a fix for $65 (not to mention a shipping and handling fee).
So remember: be extra careful with the 2DS… or you may end up having to pay of the system’s cost for Nintendo to fix/replace the screens!
