Reborn’s next Kickstarter will include items such as a behind-the-scenes motion capture session, gameplay sneak-peak of the menu system, HUD, and combat/combo system, rewards restructure, and improved stretch goals.

Knite & The Ghost Lights Kickstarter promises Wii U version
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 3 Comments
Last month, Mobot Studios opened a Kickstarter for “Knite & The Ghost Lights” – a new side-scrolling adventure game. It promises “a mixture of adventure, storytelling, and action from games we know and love like Metroid and Castlevania, but with a completely fresh feel for today’s gamer.”
Mobot Studios added in support for a Wii U version of a couple of weeks ago, but the news kind of went under the radar. If Knite & The Ghost Lights is funded, you can expect to see it on the console “close” to the game’s launch.
Now here’s the thing: Knite & The Ghost Lights only has about six days left to reach its Kickstarter goal. A little over $18,000 has been raised out of the required $35,000 total.
You can show your support for Knite & The Ghost Lights by checking out the official Kickstarter and donating here.

Aonuma suggests he wanted to announce something relating to Zelda Wii U at Comic Con, preparing to show “something new” soon
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 12 Comments
Eiji Aonuma recently stated he would “say more” about Zelda Wii U at next year’s E3. But apparently, he originally intended to make an announcement earlier this month.
The news comes from a recent interview Aonuma conducted with German publication Gameswelt TV. Translations of his comments suggest that he had hoped to share news at the New York Comic Con, but was too preoccupied preparing for his presentation. Aonuma ended up telling Gameswelt, “As soon as I am back at my office I will start preparing something new that I can show.”

Amazon lists Wii U version of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 for $50, 3DS for $30
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 0 comments
Amazon has already put up listings
for Activision’s The Amazing Spider-Man 2 video game. Apparently, it’ll be priced lower on Nintendo platforms.
Amazon currently has the Wii U version priced at $49.99 while other console versions are set at $59.99. Also worth mentioning, the 3DS version of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 will only cost $29.99
. Most 3DS titles tend to cost $39.99.
These could be generous or tentative listings by Amazon, so you may as well as pre-order now if you have any interest. Then again, perhaps Activision has actually decided to set the price of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 $10 lower on Nintendo platforms.
