Wii U Virtual Console Trial Campaign lineup

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U, Wii U eShop | 0 comments

North America/Europe

January – Balloon Fight (NES)
February – F-Zero (SNES)
March – Punch Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream (NES)
April – Kirby’s Adventure (NES)
May – Super Metroid (SNES)
June – Yoshi / Mario & Yoshi (NES)
July – Donkey Kong (NES)

Japan

January – Balloon Fight (NES)
February – Fire Emblem: Monsh? no Nazo (Mystery of the Emblem) (SNES)
March – Mother 2 (EarthBound) (SNES)
April – Kirby’s Adventure (NES)
May – Super Metroid (SNES)
June – Yoshi’s Egg (Yoshi) (NES)
July- Donkey Kong (NES)

Mother 2 automatically makes Japan’s lineup better, in my opinion. We’ll be getting Punch-Out!! instead. Fire Emblem is also planned for release in Japan in February while North America will be receiving F-Zero.

Platinum Games’ Inaba shows interest in Vigil purchase

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments

Practically all of THQ’s major assets and studios have been picked up by other companies. The likes of Volition and Relic have new homes, but no one has acquired Vigil Games.

But hey… maybe Platinum Games could purchase the studio.

Platinum Games Atsushi Inaba tweeted today:

“In THQ studio and IP selling off auction, Darksiders is unsold? [We] wanna buy it…on the cheap…”

Could something actually come from this? Seeing Darksiders in the hands of Platinum Games would be both strange and possibly amazing.
