Skylanders creator working on “next awesome project”

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments

Toys for Bob, the creator of Activision’s Skylanders IP, worked on the series’ first two games. But this year, Vicarious Visions has been put in charge of Skylanders Swap Force’s main development.

So what’s Toys for Bob up to? They’re certainly alive and well, and the team is busy developing its “next awesome project” – so says a job posting for a concept character artist that we recently discovered.

It doesn’t give much insight as to what Toys for Bob is developing, but the listing does mention that the new employee should “Be able to create characters in cartoony style (not hyper-realistic)” while also being “well versed in human and animal anatomy”. The staffer will also be expected “to create enemy/non-player characters and weapons”.

SteamWorld Dig still a possibility for Wii U, team has other ideas for the console

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

SteamWorld Dig is only planned for the 3DS eShop currently. However, developer Image & Form is still considering a Wii U version of the game.

CEO Brjann Sigurgeirsson commented on the possibility of SteamWorld Dig for Wii U and the console overall in an interview with Nintendo Difference. Sigurgeirsson also said that the team has ideas that may be a better fit for the system rather than simply bringing SteamWorld Dig over to the Wii U.

“We are still considering SteamWorld Dig for Wii U, but I also think we have other ideas that suit the Wii U better. The Wii U is a very powerful console, but I think Nintendo has a hard time explaining to consumers who should buy it and why. It becomes a paradox: if not enough people buy the console, developers are not going to flock to it – which means that it takes longer for the console to establish itself.”

Rumor: Dragon Quest IX’s “DQVC” taken down

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 1 Comment

Dragon Quest IX’s “DQVC” service has been up and running since the game hit North America in 2010. Three years later, it may have come to an end.

Users are reporting issues with the virtual store, which requires communication with a server in order to function. The list of available items just isn’t updating even though the download data process is successful.

Dragon Quest IX players have said that this problem has popped up a couple of times in the past. But since the DQVC store has been down for some time and the DS game is a few years old, it’s possible that the service could be done for good.
