Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 2 Comments
Shantae: Half-Genie Hero will support costume swaps after reaching a new stretch goal on Kickstarter. Funds raised on the site in addition to PayPal donations exceeded $700,000 a short while ago, meaning the new feature is in.
Costume swaps will allow players to experience Half-Genie Hero with rebalanced stats and special moves. Of course, Shantae can wear new garb as well.
Nintendo says cross-buy feature has “been talked about”, could be considered if devs show demand
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 5 Comments
Steam and PlayStation platforms both implement a cross-buy feature. As an example, if you purchase an indie title available for both the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita, you’re only required to pay once in order to receive copies for both platforms.
Unfortunately, Nintendo doesn’t offer similar functionality for its own systems. If you buy a game from the 3DS eShop, you don’t receive a corresponding copy for Wii U. You’re forced to pay a second time for what essentially amounts to the same game.
While cross-buy isn’t something that Nintendo currently offers, “the idea’s been talked about.” That’s according to Dan Adelman, the man in charge of all things indie at Nintendo of America.
He told Nintendo World Report:
“We don’t have anything new to announce on that, but I believe that the idea’s been talked about. So it’s something we’re definitely up to considering if there’s enough demand from developers, but nothing to announce for right now.”

Ganbarion is involved with development of Wii Fit U, according to Kotaku’s Stephen Totilo. Totilo spotted the company’s name on the software’s title screen.

Oddworld Inhabitants speaks on the possibility of new Oddworld games, says there are “two different possibilities”

“Most of my time today is going into designing new product, but our bandwidth is stretched. So I’m designing a lot of things – two major things. Now I’m not sure which will get started first. If we have the success of New ‘n’ Tasty … let’s say if we can do a million units of New ‘n’ Tasty – I don’t know if that’s completely unrealistic or not because we don’t have advertising money, we don’t have a big publisher pushing it. I think Sony will help us expose it. I think it will be a quality game, but it’s not trying to be Destiny, right?
