MLG is one such venue where Super Smash Bros. for Wii U could be appearing. Major League Gaming CEO Sundance DiGiovanni has said on Twitter that Nintendo has interest, as does he.

The message reads:

@proxywolf @MLG @MrAdamAp it may. Nintendo is interested. So am I.

Ubisoft share price falls up to 32% amidst game delays

Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in General Gaming, General Nintendo, News, Platforms, Wii U | 2 Comments

Understandably, Ubisoft’s stock took a hit this week after they announced the delay of two of their biggest titles this holiday season: Watch_Dogs and The Crew. Both games were pushed into 2014, and shortly thereafter the company’s shares fell by the biggest margin they’ve seen since they debuted on the stock exchange all the way back in 1996. On top of that, we recently reported that the company said Rayman Legends and Splinter Cell: Blacklist sold below expectations, which probably contributed to their troubles.

Aonuma explains why Nintendo doesn’t take an annualization approach with Zelda

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 4 Comments

Big franchises like Call of Duty tend to see new releases each year. But in the case of Zelda, it usually takes Nintendo quite a long time to develop a new entry.

Majora’s Mask was intended to be the original exception. Following Ocarina of Time in November 1998, Nintendo had wanted to get the N64 sequel out the door just a year later.

Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma told Shacknews that Miyamoto came up with the idea:

Boogerman 20th Anniversary: The Video Game hits Kickstarter, planned for Wii U

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments

Does Boogerman ring a bell for anyone? Interplay came out with the SEGA Genesis (and later SNES) title nearly two decades ago. Now, new developer Toy Ghost LLC is looking to develop a follow-up/remake of sorts.

Toy Ghost has taken to Kickstarter in hopes of raising enough money to fund the project’s development. $375,000 is required in order to make Boogerman 20th Anniversary: The Video Game a reality. If that target is met, the title will land on Wii U, PlayStation 4, PS Vita, PC, and Mac. Boogerman 20th Anniversary would arrive in November 2014.

It’s worth mentioning that the original Boogerman creators are working on the game. Additionally, Grant Kirkhope will compose an entirely new musical score.

Ubisoft says Watch_Dogs delay allows for “far bigger potential”

Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in General Gaming, News, Platforms, Wii U | 1 Comment

“In fact, we play-tested the game until the last minute. With the most relevant information in hand, the decision was the most relevant to take. What we saw in the play-tests is that we were very close to the quality we wanted, but not exactly at the level. We thought that with more time we could give it a far bigger potential, so we think the best way to take care of this brand is to make sure it has everything it can be supplied to the customers that are expecting it.”

– Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot

Watch_Dogs was delayed until early 2014 earlier this week.
