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

Activision is due for a new Call of Duty reveal soon. For the past few years, the company has announced new entries anytime between late April and mid-May, with a more proper blowout taking place at E3.

The situation won’t be any different this year. We do know that a new Call of Duty game is coming, and if you’re interested in the first details, you should be on the lookout. Activision community manager Dan Amrich says that information is “coming soon” and “it should be here no later than E3.”

Amrich said in a recent YouTube video:

“If you’re looking for information on the future, it’s coming soon. It’s just not here yet. And it should be here no later than E3. Just be a little patient and I think you’ll hear some more information very soon.”

Rumor: Nintendo’s German press server lists June 6 date for The Wonderful 101

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Podcast Stories, Rumors, Wii U | 0 comments

Nintendo has been rather secretive when it comes to The Wonderful 101’s release date. The last time the publisher mentioned Platinum Games’ Wii U project, it was set to launch in the first half of 2013.

Time is running out. And at this point, it’s completely unknown when Wii U owners can expect the game’s arrival. But here’s a possible hint from Nintendo – the company’s German press server lists the title for a June 6 release.

I’m a bit skeptical of that date given how little we’ve heard about the game in recent months, but you never know…

Muse hopes to apply for Wii U dev status “in the coming months”, Guns of Icarus still possible

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

Muse Games had previously expressed some interest in bringing Guns of Icarus Online: Adventure Mode to the Wii U, noting that it had been in touch with Nintendo about possibly releasing the game on the company’s console.

CEO Howard Tsao has since told Nintendo Life that he intends to apply for developer status “in the coming months”. Once this happens, a Wii U version of Guns of Icarus Online: Adventure Mode will likely progress.

He said:

“I haven’t gone through the dev application process yet, but I think I’m going to, especially given the level of integration with Unity. I don’t have a time line yet, as we’ll still be working on improving the game and with ground work on Adventure Mode. But hopefully in the coming months, we can fit some time in for application and development work.”
