SEGA confirms Castle of Illusion remake, but not coming to Wii U?
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Podcast Stories | 0 comments
SEGA has finally confirmed that the company will be releasing Castle of Illusion staring Mickey Mouse this summer. The game, which is being rebuilt from the ground up by SEGA Studios Australia, will offer “stunning visuals and new gameplay mechanics.”
Here’s where things get a bit odd: Castle of Illusion is apparently coming to the Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network, and Steam. There’s no word on a Wii U or PS Vita release, even though both platforms were included in official Brazilian classification ratings.
We’ll try to get some answers…

Mewtwo officially has a new form
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Last week, rumors of a new Mewtwo-like Pokemon were finally confirmed. Original speculation indicated that this would be a new Mewtwo form rather than a brand new Pokemon, but the official announcement made this unclear.
Thanks to the latest issue of CoroCoro, we now have some clarity. The magazine confirms that Mewtwo will have a new form – yes, the Pokemon shown last week – and notes that its new shape has formed after being awakened.
[Afternoon Opinion] The problem with “always-online”, and why everyone is missing the point

it’s on your guys’ mind either which way.

NintendoEverything is, quite obviously, a Nintendo-centric website. We deal in the happenings over at the Big N– occasionally branching out and discussing things that are going on industry-wide– but by and large we are happy to keep concerned only with the things that our favorite developer and publisher does. It’s more than enough to keep someone busy for months on end after all, and usually the topics that are being discussed on a grander scale (downloadable content, violence in video games, etc) don’t affect “us” too much, because Nintendo is usually “behind the times” when it comes to keeping up with trends.
Ah, but today, something has come up that I think is worth discussing despite that fact: This idea of “always-online”. This concept that my console, game, or PC must be connected to the internet at all times in order to play the games I want to play, or use the services I want to use. There are two arguments being made:
1) “Always-online is the future. It’s an advancement in technology that we have to get with in order for the gaming industry to move forward.”
2) “But what if I don’t have a stable internet connection? It’s ridiculous that I wouldn’t be able to play games because of technical hiccups.”
Personally, I think both of these arguments are a load of things-that-are-bad-arguments.
