Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
BioWare Montreal is busy making the next Mass Effect. When the team and publisher EA are finally ready to announce the title, it probably won’t be known as Mass Effect 4.
Writing on the official BioWare forums, community manager Chris Priestly said that calling the next game Mass Effect 4 would be “doing it a disservice”.

Rayman Legends is now multiplatform, but the move won’t have much of an effect on Ubisoft’s future Wii U support.
CEO Yves Guillemot told IGN that the company has “a pipeline”of high-quality games coming to the console. Guillemot did not provide any specifics about the future, only pointing to Rayman Legends – a game that was delayed from release this month to September.
Guillemot also stated that Nintendo “will make the necessary changes to the machine to make sure that it continues to grow fast on the market.”
“We have a pipeline of games of very high quality coming on that machine, like Rayman Legends, which makes fantastic use of what the machine can do. …they (Nintendo) will make the necessary changes to the machine to make sure that it continues to grow fast on the market.”

Yes, Ubisoft is working on a new Assassin’s Creed.
Following the huge success of Assassin’s Creed III, the new game will be made by an “all new team”. Fans will be able to experience a previously-unexplored time period with a new hero. Ubisoft believes it will “be another major leap forward for the franchise”.
During Ubisoft’s latest financial call, CEO Yves Guillemot teased that there will be “More details to come very soon.”
The next Assassin’s Creed will launch during fiscal year 2014 – meaning before April 2014.
Pier Solar devs on working with Wii U, 3DS possibilities, future games
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, General Nintendo, News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
Pier Solar and the Great Architects has been confirmed for Wii U. We don’t know when it’s coming, but the team is hard at work on the project.
One of the game’s developers, Gwénaël “Fonzie” Godde, discussed what it’s like working with the Wii U system:
“Although the main game logic in modern platforms share the same code, some features are exclusive to each platforms. Wii U has many interesting features and we want to be able to make good use of them. Hopefully, it will be a great surprise.”
Pier Solar will make use of the GamePad’s various features, according to Tulio Goncalves:
“Yes of course. Wii U feels like a ‘TV version’ of Nintendo DS, and as we’ve seen in the handheld, many possibilities can be explored. However, we’ve got to be careful when designing those functionalities. As everyone knows, one of the great features of Wii U is the ability to switch gameplay from the TV to the Wii U controller screen; in that case it has to behave just like as if you were playing with the regular controller, so those functions have to be non-vital functions to the game.”
Pier Solar is heading to Wii U… but could we ever see it on the 3DS eShop? Goncalves and Fonzie commented on the possibility:
Tulio: The 3DS resolution doesn’t favor the original resolution and aspect of the SD version of Pier Solar. If a port gets made it will be the HD version scaled to 3DS resolution.
Fonzie: Either way, having PS HD in 3DS would be great. However, first we must focus on all the platforms that we announced on Kickstarter. We have lots of motivation but we’re still a small dev team!
And last but not least, Fonzie discussed WaterMelon’s future projects:
“We are working on a few other projects at the moment through the Magical Game Factory. We got one Mega Drive beat ’em up and RPG project and one Super Nintendo action-adventure project, as well as few surprises!”
