The Conduit HD confirmed for NVIDIA Tegra devices
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Podcast Stories, Wii | 1 Comment
As originally expected, The Conduit is heading to Tegra-supported devices – including the upcoming Shield handheld.
The Conduit HD will be pretty much like the original Wii game, though it will sport prettier visuals. Players will be able to take on the first two missions for free and will need to offer up $7 for the remaining seven. There will also be an option to purchase levels 3-6 for $3 and levels 7-9 for the same amount.
It’ll definitely be strange seeing The Conduit on new hardware, but I guess High Voltage Software figured this would be a smart thing to do.

MercurySteam never started Lords of Shadow 2 on Wii U, not about budget constraints
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 won’t be hitting Wii U – at least for the foreseeable future. But it has nothing to do with budget constraints, as some reports have suggested.
Producer David Cox took to Twitter and clarified comments published by Eurogamer earlier today. Cox had told the publication that a Wii U version wasn’t in the cards due to a lack of resources. What he meant by this is that MercurySteam would need more staffers and time – not additional funds.
“Can I just say the story about CVLOS2 not coming to WiiU due to budget constraints is utter bullshit. What I said was its a question of resource (people, time, space etc) and focus on what we are already doing”.
Cox also confirmed that Lords of Shadow 2 was never in development for Wii U at any point. Thus, the game was never cancelled for the console.
“Oh and we never cancelled the WiiU version because we never started a WiiU version for the reasons I just gave…”
Notion Games “would love” to bring Super Ubi Land to 3DS
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Super Ubi Land is in the works for a few different platforms such as the Wii U eShop. While it isn’t planned to hit the 3DS or PlayStation Vita, developer Notion Games “would love” to make that happen.
The one stumbling block is a lack of staffers. Currently, Notion Games’ Andrew Augustin doesn’t foresee a portable version happening due to a lack of resources.
According to Augustin:
“I would love to have Super Ubi Land on handheld devices like the Nintendo 3DS and Playstation Vita. I don’t have plans to bring them over because I haven’t found anyone to help port to those consoles. I really would like to find a programmer in the Austin, Texas area to help Notion Games and be a part of the team so we could bring our games to as many platforms as possible.”
Devil Summoners: Soul Hackers’ cut voicework is limited to map NPCs
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Atlus recently said that it cut down on Devil Summoners: Soul Hackers’ voicework “just a bit”. The publisher has since clarified that statement.
Almost all of the original voices have been recorded in English. The only exception pertains to map NPCs. Writing on the company’s official forums, Atlus noted that the decision was made to save time and costs.
“The voicework that was cut was the map NPCs. The reason we cut that was because the JP version used one voice for every type of person: every man had the same voice, every woman had the same voice. It was pretty ridiculous, since these are definitely not the same person. To save time (and, yes, costs for studio work and actors), and to improve the work as a whole, we took out that bit.”

Ubisoft Reflections is best known for its work on the Driver games. It is also assisting Ubisoft Montreal with Watch Dogs. Aside from the upcoming open-world title, Reflections is developing a number of unannounced projects.
Unfortunately, Ubisoft hasn’t specified what these games actually are. The news was shared as part of an announcement confirming Pauline Jacquey as the subsidiary’s new managing director.
