Rumor: Ubisoft making Avengers-based video game
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Rumors | 0 comments
Ubisoft appears to be working on a project based on The Avengers.
Marvel Characters, Inc. registered the domain name “avengersbattleforearth.com” through brand protection company MarkMonitor. The site is now sitting on Ubisoft’s nameservers, nic1.ubisoft.com and nic2.ubisoft.com.
Last year, THQ Brisbane’s cancelled Avengers title leaked out. It looked incredibly promising, but it was cancelled once the studio shut its doors. The game would have featured first-person gameplay, co-op, and a heavy roster filled with characters such as Hulk, Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor.

Miyamoto praises Vita hardware, says it needs games
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
What does Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto think about Sony’s PlayStation Vita? Miyamoto was asked for this thoughts about the system recently, but only offered a succinct comment.
Nonetheless, Miyamoto did praise the hardware behind the Vita. Although he called it “a very hi-spec machine”, he believes it could use more quality games.
In an interview with EDGE, Miyamoto told the magazine:
“It’s obviously a very hi-spec machine, and you can do lots of things with it. But I don’t really see the combination of software and hardware that really makes a very strong product.”
Miyamoto later drew parallels to the launch of the 3DS, which lacked must-have software at launch:
“When we launched the 3DS hardware we didn’t have Super Mario 3D Land, we didn’t have Mario Kart 7, we didn’t have Kid Icarus: Uprising. We were striving to have all of these ready for the launch, but we weren’t able to deliver them at that time.
“We were kind of hoping that people would, nevertheless, buy into the product, find 3DS hardware promising, but looking back we have to say we realise the key software was missing when we launched the hardware.”
Rabbids Rumble rated by the OFLC
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
More Rabbids action could be in our future. The Australian Clarification system has rated Rabbids Rumble, which could be a new game starring the odd creatures. Whatever the title turns out to be, some “very mild crude humour” will be included. It was given a “G” rating by the OFLC.
A number of Rabbids games have appeared on Nintendo platforms. The series has shown up on the Wii, DS, and 3DS. The latest entry was a Kinect exclusive called Rabbids: Alive & Kicking.
Ubisoft’s response to the rating was “no comment”, as expected.
THQ won’t have a booth at E3 2012
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
THQ has confirmed that they won’t have a booth at this year’s E3.
However, the company will initiate a number of E3-related activities. THQ will show a variety of titles to the E3 judges, will have a press/business center at the expo for meetings, and will be involved with first-party activities.
THQ’s decision to not pursue a booth can be attributed to its poor financial state.
“We’re not producing a booth, but we will be participating in E3. We will be showing games to the E3 judges at their event coming up, and we’ll be hosting a press and business center at the show for meetings (as well as participating with first party activities).”
“When we needed to make the decision on the booth (many months ago) we were in a MUCH different place than today. But, we will be there to support our portfolio and the show itself.”

n-Space not making any first-person shooters at the moment
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, DS, General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
n-Space has been creating portable versions of the Call of Duty titles since 2007. Each spinoff was developed for the DS, including last year’s Modern Warfare 3: Defiance. Fans were hoping that the studio would be given an opportunity to make a new call of Duty for Nintendo’s latest handheld system, but it doesn’t look that’ll be happening – at least not this year.
One fan asked n-Space on Twitter if the studio is working on a portable version of Black Ops II. The company responded by saying that they “have no first person shooters in development at this time”. Maybe that’ll change next year?
