BioWare not keen on calling Mass Effect 4 as next game in the series
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
BioWare Montreal is busy making the next Mass Effect. When the team and publisher EA are finally ready to announce the title, it probably won’t be known as Mass Effect 4.
Writing on the official BioWare forums, community manager Chris Priestly said that calling the next game Mass Effect 4 would be “doing it a disservice”.

Yes, Ubisoft is working on a new Assassin’s Creed.
Following the huge success of Assassin’s Creed III, the new game will be made by an “all new team”. Fans will be able to experience a previously-unexplored time period with a new hero. Ubisoft believes it will “be another major leap forward for the franchise”.
During Ubisoft’s latest financial call, CEO Yves Guillemot teased that there will be “More details to come very soon.”
The next Assassin’s Creed will launch during fiscal year 2014 – meaning before April 2014.
Pier Solar devs on working with Wii U, 3DS possibilities, future games
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, General Nintendo, News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
Pier Solar and the Great Architects has been confirmed for Wii U. We don’t know when it’s coming, but the team is hard at work on the project.
One of the game’s developers, Gwénaël “Fonzie” Godde, discussed what it’s like working with the Wii U system:
“Although the main game logic in modern platforms share the same code, some features are exclusive to each platforms. Wii U has many interesting features and we want to be able to make good use of them. Hopefully, it will be a great surprise.”
Pier Solar will make use of the GamePad’s various features, according to Tulio Goncalves:
“Yes of course. Wii U feels like a ‘TV version’ of Nintendo DS, and as we’ve seen in the handheld, many possibilities can be explored. However, we’ve got to be careful when designing those functionalities. As everyone knows, one of the great features of Wii U is the ability to switch gameplay from the TV to the Wii U controller screen; in that case it has to behave just like as if you were playing with the regular controller, so those functions have to be non-vital functions to the game.”
Pier Solar is heading to Wii U… but could we ever see it on the 3DS eShop? Goncalves and Fonzie commented on the possibility:
Tulio: The 3DS resolution doesn’t favor the original resolution and aspect of the SD version of Pier Solar. If a port gets made it will be the HD version scaled to 3DS resolution.
Fonzie: Either way, having PS HD in 3DS would be great. However, first we must focus on all the platforms that we announced on Kickstarter. We have lots of motivation but we’re still a small dev team!
And last but not least, Fonzie discussed WaterMelon’s future projects:
“We are working on a few other projects at the moment through the Magical Game Factory. We got one Mega Drive beat ’em up and RPG project and one Super Nintendo action-adventure project, as well as few surprises!”

Wreck-It Ralph cast share their video game picks

I’m amazed that the cast actually has a pretty decent knowledge/appreciation of video games – more on the classic side, but there’s nothing wrong with that! And Sarah Silverman sounds like a pretty big GoldenEye fan…
[NintendoEverything Book Review] The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia

Full disclosure: I’m probably the only writer for Nintendo Everything who doesn’t really consider myself a fan of the Zelda series. My opinion of every Zelda game tends to dramatically vary, but I think the series’ art is the one area that the games consistently excel at. And so when it was announced that Dark Horse would be publishing a combination of art and history book to celebrate the Zelda series, of course I jumped at the chance to review it. The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia sure makes a great first impression. Even the regular edition Hyrule Historia has a hardcover and with over 250 pages it’s quite a heavy book. It promises plenty of fully translated information about the series from the specifics of the Zelda timeline to the shape and density of Tingle’s chest hair, but we won’t really know until we take a look inside…
Activision hopes Skylanders IP will have 10 to 20 year run
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
We’re in year three of Activision’s Skylanders franchise. The publisher has released two different entries since 2011, starting with Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure. Swap Force, the latest title, is due out later this year.
There’s no question that Skylanders has been a mammoth money-maker for Activision. So it should come as no surprise that the company hopes to see its series last for 10 to 20 years.
Vice President of Skylanders business Joshua Taub told Joystiq:
“We have goals of making this a 10 to 20 year franchise that becomes a staple for kids.”
