European gamers have been waiting a long time to get their hands on Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked. In just a few months, the 3DS title will finally be released.
Ghostlight wrote up a new blog post today announcing that Devil Survivor Overclocked “has now entered manufacturing”. The publisher wasn’t able to reveal a final release date, but is “expecting to release the game across Europe towards the end of March in time for Easter.” A release date will be shared within the next couple of weeks.

Ubisoft has opened a new countdown site for Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag.
Following the game’s official boxart unveiling and name confirmation, Ubisoft is now gearing up to unleash a debut trailer. The video will be accessible once the countdown ends.
Black Flag’s embargo will end on Monday, so we should begin to receive the first official information once March 4 arrives. The countdown looks like it’ll expire on the same day.
Need for Speed: Most Wanted Wii U will be a $60 game
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
A lot of late ports have arrived on Wii U since launch. Darksiders II, Mass Effect 3, and Batman: Arkham City all hit the console in November, and each was initially priced at $60 despite having shipped on other consoles months earlier.
The situation won’t be any different with Need for Speed: Most Wanted. EA has confirmed that the Wii U edition will cost $60 when it comes out next month. To be fair, Most Wanted is probably one of the few late ports that deserves the price point given how much effort Criterion is putting into the project. It’ll include DLC and new modes, as well as slightly prettier visuals.
Other Wii U ports are also in the pipeline, but there is one exception to the $60 benchmark. The Amazing Spider-Man: Ultimate Edition, due out next month, will cost $40.
The Conduit HD confirmed for NVIDIA Tegra devices

As originally expected, The Conduit is heading to Tegra-supported devices – including the upcoming Shield handheld.
The Conduit HD will be pretty much like the original Wii game, though it will sport prettier visuals. Players will be able to take on the first two missions for free and will need to offer up $7 for the remaining seven. There will also be an option to purchase levels 3-6 for $3 and levels 7-9 for the same amount.
It’ll definitely be strange seeing The Conduit on new hardware, but I guess High Voltage Software figured this would be a smart thing to do.

Man, this game is looking more and more beautiful (and funny!) every time I see it! Glad it’s probably hitting the Wii U at some point.

Pwnee Studios says they’ve had few issues working with Wii U development, Nintendo has been very helpful
Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in General Nintendo, News, Podcast Stories, Wii U, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Developer of the upcoming Cloudberry Kingdom on Wii U “Pwnee Studios” told Aussie Gamer the other day that Nintendo has been great to work with relating to the development and publishing of their game on the Wii U eShop, and they were “pumped” when they got the chance to bring the game to Nintendo fans.
In terms of getting the game onto the eShop, it has gone pretty smoothly. We presented the game to Nintendo, they liked it, and they said we should go onto the eShop. All we had to do was agree!
– Pwnee Studios’ TJ Lutz
One of the more interesting bits of information to come from this is how simple it was to get Nintendo to let them publish the game on the eShop! They simply show off their game (probably to some Nintendo representatives), and the Big N makes the decision themselves based on how cool the game is. I find that to be quite a refreshingly simple way to get a game put out!
MercurySteam never started Lords of Shadow 2 on Wii U, not about budget constraints
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 won’t be hitting Wii U – at least for the foreseeable future. But it has nothing to do with budget constraints, as some reports have suggested.
Producer David Cox took to Twitter and clarified comments published by Eurogamer earlier today. Cox had told the publication that a Wii U version wasn’t in the cards due to a lack of resources. What he meant by this is that MercurySteam would need more staffers and time – not additional funds.
“Can I just say the story about CVLOS2 not coming to WiiU due to budget constraints is utter bullshit. What I said was its a question of resource (people, time, space etc) and focus on what we are already doing”.
Cox also confirmed that Lords of Shadow 2 was never in development for Wii U at any point. Thus, the game was never cancelled for the console.
“Oh and we never cancelled the WiiU version because we never started a WiiU version for the reasons I just gave…”
