Much like Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, Resident Evil: Revelations HD will go live on the Wii U eShop at launch. The standard retail release will be, as always, still available to consumers. But those who prefer to maintain their games digitally will likely be pleased to hear about this news.
According to Capcom’s Christan Svensson:
It should be digital day and date with retail on WiiU and PS3. For PC in North America, it’s already digital only.

It’s now April 1 in Japan. That means Square Enix has officially been around for ten years as a whole.
The company is celebrating the achievement with some sort of 10th anniversary teaser site. There’s not much to see at the moment, but the page does contain an interesting message:
As of April 1st we’ve reached our 10th anniversary!
We hope you’ll continue supporting us going forward as well!
We’re thinking of collaborations and a bunch of things that should make everyone a little bit happy.
It’ll be settled soon, so we’ll keep you posted.

Yacht Club on how Shovel Knight differs on Wii U/3DS, future support
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, General Nintendo, News, Podcast Stories, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
It’s not often that a game launches on both Wii U and 3DS. But with Shovel Knight, developer Yacht Club Games intends to bring the indie release to both systems’ eShops.
So what will each version bring to the table? On Wii U, off-TV play will be supported, as would the 4-player battle mode – assuming the Kickstarter stretch goal is hit. The 3DS version would feature stereoscopic visuals, and both would offer similar touch screen mechanics.
According to Yacht Club founder Sean Velasco:
“We definitely want to have off-screen play for the Wii U version, and the 3DS will have eye-popping stereoscopic visuals. The touch screen / GamePad screen will likely serve similar functions, although we aren’t sure about that functionality yet. Finally, one of our Kickstarter stretch goals is a 4 player couch-play battle mode, which would not be available on 3DS. We want to take advantage of whatever each platform may offer, while still offering the same core experience.”
As far as future Nintendo support is concerned, Velasco said:
“Right now, more projects seem like a long time away, as we’re very focused on Shovel Knight and the Kickstarter. That said, our minds have often wandered onto follow-ups like Super Shovel Knight, or maybe even Shovel Knight 64! We also have ideas for totally different games, including a couple of projects we already have art and designs for. Recently, the Wii U and 3DS have captured our attention, so I would not be surprised if we ended up with another game on one or the other!”
Rein says he wasn’t laughing at Wii U, points out UE3 critical success, anticipates more UE3-supported games
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
When asked about the possibility of Unreal Engine 4 support for Wii U during a recent Q&A session, Epic’s Mark Rein seemingly laughed at the question – as did the entire room of journalists. But on Twitter, Rein said that he wasn’t laughing at the system. Rather, he thought it was silly how the original question didn’t include the PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 as well.
@izaki_one I wasn’t laughing at Nintendo or WiiU. I was laughing at how the question only included WiiU and not 360 or PS3.

@geeheeb666 well that was certainly not my intent and I feel sorry for being caught off guard by the question and the dumb way I answered it

Video compares Wii U and PS3 load times
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Podcast Stories, Videos, Wii U | 0 comments
Nintendo will be improving the Wii U’s load times in April, including the time it takes to boot out of a game and return to the home menu. The company recently released a video highlighting the improvement, so one Japanese gamer decided to create a video and see how it stacks up to the PlayStation 3. Take a look below:
European release of Devil Survivor: Overclocked causing various issues
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
It took Ghostlight a year-and-a-half to bring Devil Survivor: Overclocked for Europe. Now that the game is out, it doesn’t seem like it was worth the wait.
Users have been complaining of various issues that were not present in the North American release of Overlocked. Strangely, the European version is very much identical to the US one with the exception of some small discrepancies, so how these problems came about is anyone’s guess.
Among Overclocked’s issues is a game-breaking bug as well as crashes. Players are unable to execute the “Summon” command, for instance, without a crash and having to reset their 3DS system. Another crash is caused for users in the auction house when the seller lies about the demon’s stats.
It’s unclear if there’s any way for Ghostlight to fix the reported problems. Wouldn’t it be nice if a patch were to be made available?!
Update: Ghostlight have released a statement saying that they are looking into fixing the issues with the game.
