Another Castle creator mulling over “tiny, quirky project” for Wii U
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
David Byers, the sole creator of Another Castle, is currently hard at work on completing the platformer. But what lies ahead for the future?
While he can’t officially confirm anything at present, Byers is thinking about “making a tiny, quirky project from the ground up just for the Wii U.” It wouldn’t be a platformer like Another Castle, and it would “look completely different”.
“I’m considering making a tiny, quirky project from the ground up just for the Wii U. Mainly just for fun. I don’t have any specific plans yet, all I know is it won’t be a platformer, and it will look completely different from Another Castle.”

Minecraft for Wii U no more/less likely than other versions
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
Mojang’s Jens Bergensten was quoted as saying earlier this week that a Wii U version of Minecraft is “very unlikely.” But his words weren’t intended to be looked upon as a big negative for Nintendo’s console.
Bergensten has since clarified that when it comes to bringing Minecraft to new platforms, “Wii U is no more likely than any other platforms, but no less either.”
“The reason I said that is that the Wii U hasn’t even been mentioned when we’re talking about Minecraft platforms. However, I’m only responsible for the PC and Pocket editions, so the question wasn’t mine to answer. The Wii U is no more likely than any other platforms, but no less either.”
Would Minecraft on Wii U be something that you guys would like to see?

[N]Gamer goes out of print

We’ve seen the closure of two big Nintendo magazines within the past year. Nintendo Power ended its 20+ year run in 2012, and UK publication Nintendo Gamer shuttered last year as well.
Yet another Nintendo magazine announced its end today. Dutch publication [N]Gamer is calling it quits after being in print for close to a decade.
I suppose this just goes to show that magazines truly are in decline…
