Jett Rocket: Super Surf launching early this year
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Podcast Stories | 0 comments
Shin’en has almost completed development on Jett Rocket: Super Surf. The 3DS eShop game is expected to arrive “early this year”, according to Shin’en.
On YouTube, the studio wrote:
“Jett Rocket 3DS is nearly completed and? will be released early this year.”
Despite being confirmed quite awhile ago, Jett Rocket: Super Surf remains an enigma. Shin’en hasn’t outlined how the game will play, nor has it released any official media. Hopefully that’ll be changing soon!
Injustice: Gods Among Us to feature Penguin, Martian Manhunter, DLC?
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii U | 0 comments
NetherRealm Studios’ Ed Boon recently posted an image on Twitter that appears to hint at certain content for Injustice: Gods Among Us.
The photo was actually a seemingly random tweet that has nothing to do with the game. But, perhaps unintentionally, it gives a look at Boon’s computer desktop and a few folders. Three folders can be clearly made out: Penguin, Martian Manhunter and DLC.
Downloadable content in Injustice wouldn’t come as a surprise, though that has not been confirmed. Penguin and Martian Manhunter haven’t been announced as playable characters either. Guess we’ll just have to wait and see how this plays out…

[Feature] Two People Playin’ Games Beta Episode 3 – Pokemon Stadium 2
Posted on 12 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in Features, Videos | 0 comments
But Austin, what am I about to watch!?
You are about to watch the third gaming session of myself and Aysha, put together during a painful (seriously) 8 hour editing and troubleshooting session that lasted well into the wee hours of the morning!
Basically we play Pokemon Stadium 2 for a bit, edit all the good parts together, and give you a bite-sized “Let’s Play” to sink your teeth into.
Iwata: GamePad idea was before iPad release, expanding gaming population

Update: More quotes added.
About a week ago, Japanese publication Nikkei published an interview with Satoru Iwata. The Nintendo president had lots to say about Animal Crossing: New Leaf and other titles in the series.
Nikkei is back with another round of quotes from Iwata. Below you’ll find translated comments regarding Wii U sales, the GamePad’s origins, his desire to continue expanding the gaming population, and tons more that couldn’t possibly fit within this post’s title.
Video: Wii U on a SEGA Game Gear
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Random, Videos, Wii U | 0 comments
YouTube user “Paul LastLevelTech” was able to successfully connected his Wii U to a SEGA Game Gear. Paul says he took on the project “to show off the handheld LCD differences in technology from the 90’s and now.”
Yes, this is completely random. But hey, it works.

Will LEGO City: Undercover have co-op?
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
In a fact sheet sent out during E3 2012, Nintendo listed LEGO City: Undercover as a game that can be experienced by up to two people. Thus far the company hasn’t shared any sort of information regarding multiplayer elements.
Based on Traveler’s Tales’ past work in the LEGO genre, one would expect Undercover to deliver a co-op experience. We’ll have to continue speculating for now though, as both Nintendo and Warner Bros. are keeping quiet about the possibility. When Game Informer asked co-op, the two provided the uninformative comment: “Nothing has been announced.”
