Nintendo retail flyer: “Why Wii U?”
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Images, News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
“Why Wii U?”, Nintendo asks. What separates a Wii U from a Wii and what makes it better?
Nintendo has outlined the (fairly obvious) differences between the two systems through a retail flyer:
Saw this “Why Wii-U?” flyer at retail today from Nintendo. Speechless. twitter.com/geoffkeighley/…

My question for Nintendo: what’s the point of this? Maybe it’ll help the uninformed consumer…

A few more Cult County tidbits, Mutant Mudds Deluxe in May or June
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Podcast Stories, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
As previously reported, Cult County will be an episodic series. Three episodes will be made available per season, and the first entry is coming later this year. Developer Renegade Kid is looking to wrap up the first season within a year after the first episode hits the 3DS eShop.
All of Cult County’s storylines are pretty much set. Currently, Renegade Kid is thinking of new gameplay elements to add. The studio spoke to one fan at PAX East and stated – roughly – that it wants to “do something special for our original fans”.
Other details include:
– Renegade Kid doesn’t want a HUD on the top screen in order to keep the experience cinematic
– Indoors area included, though it will be very dusty and will have limited visibility
– Story: looking to a relative you’ve lost contact with; stumble into a west Texas town tied up with a cult
– Won’t know who to trust due to the nature of cults
– Episodes will typically end on cliffhangers
– Intertwining stories that are both episode-long and season-long
Aside from Cult County, Renegade Kid has given a release date update for Mutant Mudds Deluxe. A launch is targeted for May or June, assuming all goes well.
