Best Buy: Kirby Mass Attack for $8, Sin and Punishment 2 for $10
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 0 comments
A couple of new games can be purchased at Best Buy at a discount. Kirby Mass Attack is available for $7.99 while Sin and Punishment 2 is going for $9.99.
Both games are available for shipping at the moment. I’m not sure how much stock Best Buy has on-hand, but you could also look for the two games in-store.
SEGA, Demiurge not talking Aliens: Colonial Marines Wii U
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
Aliens: Colonial Marines was supposed to arrive on Wii U in March. So… uh… where is it?
Neither SEGA nor Wii U developer Demiurge are talking. Time is running out with only ten days remaining in March.
When asked about the status of Colonial Marines for Wii U, a SEGA representative said:
“We’re still not commenting on [Aliens: Colonial Marines] at this point. Sorry, I don’t have better news.”
Another representative for Demiurge wasn’t much help either:
“I’m sorry to say that we at Demiurge can’t really comment.”
At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if Aliens was cancelled for Wii U. And it wouldn’t be much of a loss.
Deep Silver thought about Dead Island: Riptide for Wii U, “decided against it”
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
The Deep Island: Riptide Wii U saga continues.
Initially, reasons for the game’s non-appearance on Nintendo’s console seemed to be related to the game’s engine. But it was soon clarified that the Wii U could run Riptide’s Chrome Engine just fine, and Deep Silver would need to offer their own comment about the situation.
And now the latest. Deep Silver commented on why it decided against releasing Dead Island: Riptide for Wii U, noting on its Twitter account:
@enigmaxtreme We looked at whether it would be worth releasing it on Wii U, but decided against it.

I’m guessing this is all about sales. Deep Silver probably didn’t believe Riptide would perform well on Wii U.
Thanks to Jake for the tip.

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate technically isn’t a new game. While it’s new in the sense of the content it provides, the game is built upon the foundations of the original Wii title.
So what’s new? For those who are unclear, view the infographic below.

Mother 2/Earthbound has hit the Japanese Wii U eShop, and creator Shigesato Itoi plans to celebrate with a special event. This Friday, Itoi will be hosting a live-stream playthrough. You’ll be able to watch the event at 7 AM EST / 4 AM PST.
Sadly, Nintendo has no plans to make Mother 2 available through the overseas eShops. We’ve gotten Punch-Out!! instead.

Renegade Kid’s new 3DS FPS will support the Circle Pad Pro and stylus control
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
Renegade Kid co-founder Jools Watsham has let one small tidbit loose regarding the studio’s new first-person shooter for the 3DS eShop. Watsham tweeted that the game will support a couple of control schemes including the Circle Pad Pro and stylus/touch screen usage.
He wrote:
BTW – the Circle Pad Pro is just one of the control options for our 3DS FPS. The classic stylus control is also supported (my personal fav).

We haven’t seen the new game in action, but that should change in just a few days. The new FPS will be playable at PAX East later this week.
