Some of the Wii owners out there may remember Broken Rules for its creative and stylish WiiWare title, And Yet It Moves. Fortunately, the studio is back with a brand new game, this time for Wii U: Chasing Auoura.

We recently caught up with Broken Rules’ Martin Pichlmair to find out more about the upcoming eShop game. Pichlmair was able to discuss the origins of the project, confirmed Off-TV Play, hinted at a possible sequel for Wii U, and more.

Aside from Chasing Aurora and Wii U, Pichlmair commented on why Broken Rules has focused on 2D games, commented on piracy, and even explained how the studio picked the URL for its website!

Head past the break for the interview.

Capcom advises fans to keep expectations in check for Mega Man anniversary news

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments

Speaking on the company’s official forum, Capcom Corporate Officer/Senior Vice-President Christian Svensson once again confirmed December as the month fans should be looking forward to for Mega Man anniversary news.

Svensson also advised fans to keep their expectations in check. It sounds like the news may not be related to a video game, “or even an announcement of one at that time.”

“In December ‘some but not all’ plans for the coming year of celebrations will be shared. There are many moving parts and not everything will be done and final come December. No one has promised a game or even an announcement of one at that time. Please do keep expectations in check.”
