Minor Book Club Goal Adjustment
Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in Book Club, Site updates | 0 comments
Just a quick note for those playing Super Mario RPG alongside us for the NintendoEverything Book Club: We’re only going to be getting the sixth Star this week, so if you’re struggling to try and get the seventh, you may cease! The reason for this is two-fold:
1) The sixth one takes a really long time to get.
2) The seventh is tied to the final boss, which we want to do on a separate day.
Thanks!

Suda51 talks about working with publishers, says that the partnership with GungHo should allow sales and creativity to go hand in hand
Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in General Gaming, News | 0 comments
“Now that we’re one big group together and we’ll be publishing our own titles as Grasshopper, we believe that the creative side and the sales side will have a better connection. We definitely believe that it will transfer to good sales because we will be able to choose our own strategy.”
– Suda51
I’ve gotta admit… I’m not exactly sure what Suda is saying here! It’s something relating to publishers getting in the way of creativity, and therefore sales, but it’s also sounding like he’s saying that when you work with a third-party publisher, the creativity no longer translates into sales despite still being there. Ah well. At least he says the partnership with GungHo should allow their creative vision to translate into sales for them!

Gearbox says ‘Aliens’ lawsuit claiming false advertising is “beyond meritless”

– Gearbox Statement
They’re sort of obligated to say this because they’re being sued and they don’t want to lose the case, but I wonder if they have a point. They should definitely be allowed to share a work in progress… but if the work in progress looks so much better than the final product? I don’t know! Maybe, maybe not. I’m not much for legalese.
Katie Couric asks for “the positive side” of violent video games via Twitter
Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in General Gaming, News | 0 comments
So apparently Katie Couric ran an hour-long piece about video games and how they ruin lives and make some people kill people last Monday, which upset some gamers. So Katie decided to rectify the situation by asking gamers what they think the positive aspects of violent games are… via Twitter!
Passionate gamers upset w convo whether violent video games can contribute to v behavior. Tweet the positive side of violent v games? Thanx!
— Katie Couric (@katiecouric) May 3, 2013
She says she’s going to use the replies in an upcoming show, but we don’t know what the show was about. I think we all know by this point that this argument is useless to have. People who run specials about video games being a catalyst for violence but neglect to do the same for some significantly larger contributing factors aren’t people I care much to debate with!
Capcom has no plans to re-release Tatsunoko vs. Capcom digitally
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
You know what would be neat? If Wii games were available through the Wii U eShop. Like Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, maybe.
But there isn’t a way to grab digital Wii games in any form – meaning that a digital re-release of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom is out of the question.
Even if it were possible, the previous agreement would need to be amended or a new one would need to be created, according to Capcom’s Christian Svensson who commented on the situation a couple of months ago:
“There’s no plans I’m aware of and as you point it, it would mean Capcom Japan amending the prior agreement or creating a new one as well as potentially new development, unless Nintendo at some point has plans to release Wii ISOs digitally (which I’m not aware of happening).”
A quick glance at Amazon
shows that Tatsunoko vs. Capcom is available at retail for around $25. If you haven’t already purchased the game, that’s not a bad price!
