Capcom currently not planning return to Onimusha or Dino Crisis
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Onimusha and Dino Crisis have been dormant for many, many years (we’re not counting Onimusha Soul, by the way!). Fans have occasionally requested the return of both series, but Capcom isn’t heading in that direction for now.
Resident Evil: Revelations producer Masachika Kawata, who was involved with both franchises in the past, noted that “it’s more important for us to focus on creating new IP as we move forward.”
He said:
“Capcom has obviously never shied away from bringing back our older IPs to new generations, but I do think it’s more important for us to focus on creating new IP as we move forward.”
No Madden on Nintendo platforms this year?
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Podcast Stories | 0 comments
EA officially announced Madden NFL 25 today… for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Notice anything missing there? Yep, as far as we know, the next Madden isn’t coming to Wii U.
We reached out to EA earlier today for platform clarification, but have not heard back as of yet. Unfortunately, it looks like Nintendo systems will be left out of the Madden action this year.

“Full Mojo Rampage” could come to Wii U if the PC version performs well enough

“We are currently working with Windows/PC as the main platform, and maybe, if it makes sense, we will port it to Xbox 360, PS3 and WiiU in the future (ok, and maybe Xbox 720 and PS4!).” – Full Mojo Rampage website statement
I haven’t heard a thing about this game (probably because I don’t follow the PC gaming scene at all!), but the more eShop games the merrier as far as I’m concerned! The game would likely cost $15 as it does on PC, and if we hear a Wii U announcement you should start seeing trailers and screens pop up shortly thereafter!
LEGO City: Undercover has 290 disguises
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
LEGO City: Undercover has a massive amount of content. Along with a huge world and tons of items to collect, the game also packs in 290 costumes. That should make up for the lack of different playable characters that are traditionally included in LEGO titles.
Speaking with ONM, executive producer Loz Doyle said that his team added “more than we had planned to include.” He also commented on the varied gameplay featured in LEGO City:
“There is a huge variety of gameplay outside of the story. In fact there’s more than we had planned to include. There’s so much more outside of the story. As a robber you can steal cars and try to outrun the police, take part in vehicle and free-running time trials, be a limousine driver, catch renegade aliens, rescue cats, put out fires… The list goes on.”

Two Tribes discusses Toki Tori 2 delay
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Two Tribes pushed back Toki Tori 2 late last year, just days before the game was set to launch on the Wii U eShop. In a blog post today, the developer explained the reasoning for its decision to delay the game.
Collin van Ginkel, one of the developers, noted how he started to think of a new puzzle idea in early December. He also began to consider why Two Tribes would be submitting Toki Tori 2 to Nintendo in just a couple of days – why the team was pushing for a release before Christmas, why everyone was putting so much pressure on themselves, and more.
Metal Gear Rising port up to Konami, demand would be needed
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
The chances of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance landing on Wii U aren’t high, but there is a small glimmer of hope for the future.
When asked about want it would take to get the game on Wii U, Platinum Games’ Jean Kellams said Konami would need to see demand from fans. The publisher would also have to approach Platinum before anything is set in motion.
Kellams wrote on Twitter:
@fillytase @konami would have to see demand for it and bring us the request to port.
