Activision not releasing Fast & Furious: Showdown for Wii U in Australia
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Activision is treating the Wii U very strangely in Australia. In the past, the company declined to bring The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct and 007 Legends to the console. Now Activision has confirmed that it won’t be releasing Fast & Furious: Showdown on Wii U either.
None of these games are system sellers, but the Wii U does need games and this isn’t exactly the best trend to set. You have to wonder what kind of support Activision will be giving Nintendo’s new system in Australia going forward…
Capcom’s Svensson says they’ll be re-releasing fewer fighters as they’ve run out
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Podcast Stories | 0 comments
“It seems the novelty of such projects is wearing off even within just the fighting game community based upon the sales data of our last two launches. That said, we have been quite prolific in these areas (despite the assertion above that we haven’t) and it’s probably time for us to slow down anyway.”
– Capcom USA Senior VP Christian Svensson
I was always wondering when we’d start to see the drop-off in remakes and HD re-releases of old games, so maybe this news from Capcom is a clue that things will start to tire shortly. After all, we’ve gone through Ico, Metal Gear Solid, Street Fighter games, Resident Evil titles… and so many more! We’re bound to run down soon.

GameStop lists $40 price point for Game & Wario
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
Game & Wario may be released at a slightly cheaper price than Nintendo’s first round of Wii U titles. GameStop is listing a $39.99 price point, which may very well be its standard MSRP.
Fans are still waiting on overseas release dates for Game & Wario. It was originally supposed to arrive during the Wii U launch window, but I’d say we’re passed that point now.
Control and switch between three captains in Pikmin 3
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
There’s one other piece from Rolling Stone’s Shigeru Miyamoto piece that we wanted to highlight on the main page.
Miyamoto revealed to the publication that players will be able to take on the role of three different captains/leaders in Pikmin 3 by switching off between them. Each will control a group of Pikmin and will likely offer their own advantages, as Miyamoto said that their inclusion “sort of allows you to approach the game from a much more strategic position.”
Speaking about Pikmin 3, Miyamoto said:
“With Pikmin 3, you’ll have the ability to have three different captains or leaders of Pikmin groups and you can switch between them. So it sort of allows you to approach the game from a much more strategic position. The volume of work that you can get done within the timeframe has increased dramatically. And so that in and of itself really enhances the depth of strategy that’s available to you in that game.”
