Ken Levine likes the Wii U, but isn’t making anything for it
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Irrational Games’ Ken Levine has a Wii U. He likes it, in fact. But that doesn’t mean we’ll see any of his games on the console anytime soon.
When asked if he had any news to share about Wii U, Levine said:
“We never had any news on the Wii U. I bought one and I like it. I play games on it! But in terms of development, nothing is brewing right now.”
So I guess BioShock Infinite won’t be released for Wii U? Though I don’t think anyone was counting on that happening…

Wii U selling 1.2 games per console
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
According to Longbow Research’s James Hardiman, the Wii U has been achieving an attach rate of 1.2 games sold per system. That tidbit is based on NPD data gathered in the US last month. The Wii saw a rate of two titles sold for every console when it launched in 2006.
So why have buyers been purchasing fewer Wii U games compared to Wii? Hardiman believes that consumers may not be inclined to pick up another game due to Nintendo Land’s inclusion in the Deluxe set, or the price tag of the Wii U is dissuading them from spending extra cash on releases.

Capcom talks Mega Man’s future
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
It’s been a rough couple of years for Mega Man. Within the past 24 months or so, two games in the series were cancelled. Capcom pulled the plug on both Mega Man Legends 3 and Mega Man Universe in 2011.
But now things are starting to look slightly brighter. Capcom today announced a free, downloadable PC game called “Street Fighter X Mega Man”. And beyond this, it sounds like there could be big things ahead for the Blue Bomber.
Capcom USA senior vice president Christian Svensson spoke about Mega Man’s struggles and future approach to the IP in an interview with IGN. You can see what he had to say after the break. There are also some notes on how the Street Fighter X Mega Man project materialized as well as a hint that Capcom will begin sharing some of its more important Mega Man news starting on December 17 – the series’ 25th anniversary.
