Unannounced and unreleased NES game UWC emerges 30 years later
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
YouTuber Stephan Reese (Archon 1981) has acquired a previously unannounced and unknown NES game. UWC, a wrestling title, was created by the defunct Japanese developer SETA. The game’s title screen shows a 1989 date, so this one has been kept in the shadows for three decades.
How did Reese manage to get his hands on the game? He actually just bought it off a former Nintendo employee – and that’s mostly it. This staffer was assigned to test UWC because he was a wrestling fan.
You can see what UWC looks like in the video below. Reese will be dumping the ROM online as well so other people can try it out for themselves.
Devolver Digital intends to host a press conference at E3 2019

Compared to past years, E3 2019 is starting to look a bit different. Nintendo will still be there, but companies are starting to stray away from conferences – such as EA, who confirmed that news today.
One company we won’t have to worry about is Devolver Digital. The publisher confirmed on social media that it will have a press conference once again, marking the third year in a row it will do so. Last year treated us to a few announcements such as My Friend Pedro for Switch, and it’ll be interesting to see what Devoler Digital has in store for E3 2019.

7th Dragon director interested in a remake of the first game, brand new title
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, DS, General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
This past week, 7th Dragon celebrated its tenth anniversary. Director Kazuya Ninou reflected on the occasion as well as his interest in continuing the series.
Ninou is open to a couple of things. He’d love to remake the first 7th Dragon game as well as create an entirely new title. In fact, he already has everything planned for what the new entry could be.
7th Dragon was made by the now-defunct developer Imageepoch. However, that may not actually be too much of a roadblock. Criminal Girls, another one of Imageepoch’s IPs, has already made a comeback, so Ninou is hoping something similar could happen with 7th Dragon.

Update: A full body render has been added to the end of this post.
Original: The new Sonic the Hedgehog movie is eight months out from its premiere. But believe it or not, we’ve yet to see what the character looks like in the film. We’ve gotten glimpses here and there, but that’s about it.
Our first look at the popular character in his big screen role may have been discovered today. Hamagami/Carroll, a marketing services firm, has a couple of images on its website – including the one attached above. We haven’t seen this design for Sonic before, and the site says it created some packaging “for all of the licensed retail products within the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise”.
