The NEBC forum thread is now open!
Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in Book Club, Features, Site updates | 0 comments
Okay, time for a bit more of an informal post than I’d usually put together:
I just opened up the week one discussion thread of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars for those who are planning on participating in this week’s NintendoEverything Book Club (for Video Games!) discussion. It can be found by clicking right here.
You do have to make an account with NintendoEverything in order to partake in this half of the discussion, but I’d make the case that it’s worth the effort! It means you can comment on news stories every day as well instead of having opinions that you keep bundled up inside yourself, AND you can take part in our (hopefully) intelligent discussions of video games every week with the NEBC!
You have until the podcast’s recording (usually Friday or Saturday) if you want to send in your thoughts on the game to [email protected], but you can take as long as you’d like if you only plan to follow along and discuss in the forum. The deadline is merely so we have time to screen all of the submissions before sitting down to record on podcast day. This week all of us will be getting from the beginning of the game to the place where we obtain the first “star piece”. You’ll know what that means when you get a ways into the game, but I’m guessing we’re looking at a small 2-hour time commitment this time around.
If you need more info on what exactly the NEBC is or how to participate (as well as other information you may want), please click here.
Nintendo-made homes to be distributed in Animal Crossing: New Leaf
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Podcast Stories | 0 comments
During Nintendo Direct’s February broadcast, Nintendo teased an exclusive Animal Crossing: New Leaf feature for both North America and Europe. The company has now made the mystery inclusion public through the newly-translated Iwata Asks interview.
New Leaf allows players to collect houses through StreetPass and view them in the Happy Home Showcase. According to an editor’s note posted in the the Iwata Asks discussion, Nintendo plans to distribute its own homes in this area. Nothing mind-blowing, but a neat little feature for sure.

DarkSeas takes to Kickstarter for Road Rash-esque combat racer, Wii U version possible
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
There hasn’t been a new Road Rash entry in well over a decade. DarkSeas Games is looking to remedy the situation with a unique take on the series.
On Kickstarter, DarkSeas is looking to gather $160,000 in total in order to create “Road Redemption”. The developer says that the game will provide players with “state-of-the-industry combat controls, insane crashes, destructible environments, AI, ragdoll physics and online multiplayer.” DarkSeas also promises a whole slew of mission types, varied arsenal, and more.
Road Redemption is strictly a PC, Mac, and Linux game at present. However, DarkSeas will consider versions for the Wii U as well as the PlayStation 4 and Xbox 360.
You can find more information about Road Redemption here.

Wii U version of Buddy & Me added to Kickstarter campaign as stretch goal
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Sunbreak Games launched a Kickstarter for Buddy & Me in March. After receiving requests from Nintendo fans as well as journalists, the indie dev has now added in a Wii U version to the campaign as a stretch goal. Buddy & Me will officially come to the Wii U eShop if Sunbreak manages to raise $55,000 on Kickstarter.
A wise man once said, “don’t ever forget where you came from.” For the past few weeks, I’ve received a flood of questions and comments from journalists and Nintendo fans from the Metroid Prime days, asking whether or not we would consider a Nintendo version. The game’s characters and play would be a great fit in the Nintendo world, and the touch-screen gameplay would lend itself well to the Wii U’s unique controller. But most importantly, I’ve felt really touched at how enthusiastic and appreciative these loyal fans have been to reach out, to talk about how much those games meant to them, and remind me of some of the most inspiring and influential times of my career. Guys and gals, this one’s for you: We’ve added Wii U eShop support as an official Stretch Goal, at the $55,000 funding mark!
Getting to that mark may be difficult. Only $14,000 has been raised out of the desired $40,000 total, and only a week remains for fundraising.
But hey, now that Nintendo fans are aware that Buddy & Me has a strong shot of heading to the Wii U, perhaps we’ll see a big rise in contributions.
