Capcom has unannounced games coming to Nintendo’s digital platforms
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Marvel vs. Capcom Origins is the latest digital Capcom title that won’t be released for a Nintendo platform.
Christian Svensson, explaining the decision, said that the move wasn’t done out of spite. He noted that the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 have seen the most active digital consumers this generation, leading to a lack of support on Nintendo systems. It’s also worth mentioning that Capcom closed its deal with Marvel over a year ago.
Nintendo fans should look toward the future. Svensson promised that there are a few unannounced projects in the works that will be making their way to the big N’s digital platforms. It’s currently unknown if he was referring to the Wii U, 3DS, or both.
Svensson said:
“It’s not some sort of spite thing. It’s just that on current generation consoles, the most sizable base of active digital consumers has been on the X360 and PS3. Bear in mind, this game was green lit more than a year ago when I did the deal with Marvel. Don’t worry though, on some future unannounced Capcom projects, Nintendo platforms will get digital love from us.”

Angry Birds Trilogy heading to 3DS
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Rovio’s Executive Vice President of Games Petri Järvilehto has revealed Angry Birds Trilogy for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and 3DS. Järvilehto says that the experience has been “built from the ground up”.
Angry Birds Trilogy features three games in one: Angry Birds, Angry Birds Seasons and Angry Birds Rio. The package offers support for PlayStation Move, Kinect, and StreetPass. Additionally, individual leaderboards will be available for each level.
According to Järvilehto:
“You can think of the game as the ultimate collector’s edition. There are new cinematics, extras and other entertaining content. In addition all of the existing material has been uprezzed and re-treated for the high-resolution and big screen.”
“The backgrounds have been animated, we’ve added lighting modes, reactive backgrounds, the list goes on and on. We believe that there are a lot of people on the consoles who appreciate a great casual game play experience. This is a game that resonates across a wide audience on many platforms.”
“There have been so many fans asking to be able to play the game on their home console with their friends and family, and so far we haven’t been able to offer anything to them. Now we’re finally able to have a great high quality experience on those platforms.”
Angry Birds Trilogy will be released this holiday.
Harada: Wii U CPU clock is “kinda low”, Tekken “coming along quite rapidly”
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Tekken series producer Katsuhiro Harada believes that the Wii U’s CPU clock speed “is kinda low”. It may even be “a little bit” lower than that of the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
Those comments might not elicit the most positive thoughts about the Wii U, but Harada did say that “graphical processing and such” haven’t been problematic.
Speaking about the Wii U’s CPU, Harada commented.
“I think maybe the game is coming along smoother than most people would think, as far as the look of the game. As far as graphical processing and such, it’s not much of an issue. But as far as the CPU goes, the clock is kinda low. I guess they’re trying to keep power consumption down so we have to come up with creative ways to get around that and that’s taking a little bit of time.”
Harada was then asked if the CPU is lower than that of the Xbox or PS3.
He responded:
“Maybe a little bit. For example on PS3 it was kind of difficult at first, but if you made good use of the different cores, you could split up the processing tasks and you could achieve very good effects. But this is kind of a different issue than that.”
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 for Wii U is “coming along quite rapidly”, according to Harada. He also said that it isn’t “far behind” the Xbox 360 or PS3 versions.
Regarding a release date, Harada is hoping it’ll be out “as close as possible” to the other versions.
