Majesco and indie label Midnight City facing serious trouble
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 1 Comment
Majesco and its indie label Midnight City are facing serious trouble, a new Gamasutra report suggests.
The site makes note of the following excerpts from a recent filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission:
“the reduction (in workforce) includes development and game-testing, selling and marketing, and support personnel. We are currently not developing any significant new games for release in fiscal 2015.”
“we have suffered losses that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, we are evaluating various alternatives, including reducing operating expenses and personnel costs, securing additional financing for future business activities, and other strategic alternatives including a sale or merger of our company.”
Gamasutra goes on to mention that Majesco’s indie publishing label, Midnight City, is facing trouble as well. Midnight City published Costume Quest 2 and is bringing Gone Home to Wii U.
Toys “R” Us: 3 for $30 on all amiibo figures next week
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 9 Comments
Toys “R” Us will be running a slight deal on amiibo figures next week. If you buy three, you’ll be able to get them for $30.
amiibo figures will typically be priced at $12.99 (not sure why the ad above lists $13.99). So by taking advantage of the Toys “R” Us deal, you’ll save nearly $10.
The deals shown above will technically begin on November 16, and will last through November 22. But since amiibo isn’t launching until November 21, you’ll only have a couple of days to take advantage of the sale.

Posted on 10 years ago by Kirara Koneko(@KiraraKoneko) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Launching today are two new sites for Nintendo, one focused on children, and the other an online magazine targeting kids, teens, and adults alike.
Here is the latest PR statement from Nintendo UK:
12th November 2014 – Extra, extra, read all about Nintendo! Hot off the press, and published via the Nintendo website today comes two new online offerings giving fans of all ages the chance to get the lowdown and interact with their favourite Nintendo characters and series.
Offering younger fans the chance to enjoy playing with famous Nintendo characters including Mario, Luigi, Yoshi and Peach, Nintendo Kids Club is a new website that offers a host of content including fun puzzles, Nintendo-themed artworks to cut out, create and decorate, and top trivia on much-loved characters. The Nintendo Kids Club will also play host to present and future episodes of the puppet-based video series ‘The Cat Mario Show’, providing yet more free content for kids to tune into.
Meanwhile, for fans of all ages looking for useful gaming tips, exclusive Wii U and Nintendo 3DS game content, and fancy the odd Nintendo-themed challenge to boot, issue one of a new online magazine, Nintendo Extra, has been unveiled today. From picking up some handy pointers for reigning victorious in Mario Kart 8, to learning from none other than Eiji Aonuma himself about the fundamentals of a The Legend of Zelda game, Nintendo Extra kicks off with a bang, with further issues to be published in the coming months.

New Mercedes-Benz commercials feature Luigi, Peach
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Videos | 15 Comments
Back in August, Nintendo teamed up with Mercedes-Benz for the release of free Mario Kart 8 DLC. The original announcement was accompanied by a rather strange commercial. If you missed it, feel free to check out the video right here.
Mercedes-Benz is back with another two Mario/Mario Kart 8-related commercials that are being used to promote the GLA class model. You’ll find both below. One is for Luigi, whereas the other is for Peach.
