Metallica songs being pulled from the Rock Band store as licensing agreements expire
Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in News, Wii | 0 comments
Just as with any licensing agreement, there comes a time when a certain content distributor is o longer legally allowed to sell the content they licensed from a particular third party. Such a day has come for Rock Band creator Harmonix, as they will be yanking the much-loved ‘Metallica’ from their store– or at least, one pack of their songs that was released for players to download.
“Metallica Pack 01” (including such hits as ‘Ride the Lightning’ and ‘Blackened’) is now unavailable from the console-accessed ‘Rock Band Music Store’, and soon it will also be removed from first-party marketplaces as well. More songs will likely follow suit going into the next few months or years, but Harmonix says they’re looking to extend an “overwhelming majority” of content licenses they have to minimize the legalese’ effect on their customers.
GameFly: Game & Wario hitting North America on June 30

Nintendo has yet to announce a North American release date for Game & Wario. However, if GameFly is to be believed, the Wii U title is set for June 30.
We typically don’t put much stock into retailer discoveries, but GameFly tends to be correct in most instances. You may remember that the release date and name for Mario Tennis Open were leaked through GameFly prior to Nintendo’s official announcement.
Nintendo survey points towards high-efficiency first-party rechargeable battery packs for Wii Remotes
Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii | 0 comments
As you can see above, this survey sent out by Nintendo’s customer service asks whether or not folks would buy first party Wii Remote charger packs from the Big N, and, subsequently, if they would pay $40 for a single battery pack, charging cradle, and other accessories. The most interesting bit of the survey is that they’re touting a potential 13 hours of use after just 90 minutes of charging, which is something I would love to have!
I’m not sure if I’d pay $40 for just one battery pack though, even if it did come with the cradle, cases, etc. I’d need at least two with the purchase…

Deep Silver has no Wii U plans, COO says “audience is not who we reach best”
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
At this rate, the Wii U won’t be getting any games from publisher Deep Silver. That would mean no Saints Row, no Metro, and no Dead Island – just to name a few.
Deep Silver COO Geoff Mulligan told Game Informer this month that the company has no plans for the Wii U “in the near or foreseeable future.” It’s all about the console’s audience apparently, which is apparently not who Deep Silver targets.
Mulligan told the magazine:
“Not Wii U. With other companies, I’ve been very successful with Nintendo. With Wii U, the Nintendo market right now and their audience is not who we reach best. It’s not something we’re entertaining in the near or foreseeable future.”
