Sumo Digital talks Wii U graphics, Miis confirmed for Sonic racer
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 0 comments
Update: Eurogamer published the following notice clarifying Sumo’s graphics comments:
“We’ve updated the headline of this article to better reflect the content of the story. Sega was referring to the visuals of Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing Transformed on Wii U compared to the visuals of the other versions, not the graphics capabilities of the Wii U itself. Sorry for the confusion this has caused.”
Sumo Digital is currently working on Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed for Wii U. Asked about the console’s graphics, the studio said they’re “on-par” with current-gen systems, adding that they could be “even better”.
Other news from Sumo concerns a special character inclusion in Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed. The Wii U edition as well as the portable version for 3DS will exclusively support Miis.
Capcom still says Monster Hunter news is coming “soon”
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
I’m really sorry, Monster Hunter fans. You must be getting tired of hearing about the series at this point. Capcom has been teasing news on a regular basis, promising an update, but we still haven’t heard anything.
They’ve said that news is coming… and they’re still saying that.
Capcom community manager Brett Elston wrote on Twitter today:
“Not kidding when we say there will be Monster Hunter news soon. ‘Soon’ is relative I know, but there are some solid hints out there.”
Man… if this “news” doesn’t turn out to be about a Monster Hunter Tri G or MH4 localization… well, I can’t even imagine the backlash Capcom would receive. Just give us the news already!
