UK retailers pricing Wii Mini at £80
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
In Canada, the Wii Mini costs $99. Nintendo did not announce a price for the console when it confirmed the new release for Europe since retailers typically set their own prices, but most have set it at around £80 thus far.
Amazon UK and GAME are listing the Wii Mini for £79.99. Meanwhile, ShopTo has a product page open with a £84.85 price point.
Worth noting, Canada’s $99 price is worth £65 directly.

Square Enix has picked up a new trademark for Deus Ex: Human Defiance. There are likely two possibilities here. Either a brand new Deux game is in the works, or its the title of the rumored Human Revolution port for Wii U. I’m sure we’ll find out what Human Defiance is soon enough.

Nano Assault Neo will be Japan’s first Wii U eShop indie release
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Japan’s Wii U eShop is rather barren at present. A few retail games are up for download as well as the free-to-play Tank! Tank! Tank! version, but it’s lacking original indie content.
Arc System Works will be improving the situation by publishing Nano Assault Neo in Japan. This will be the Japanese store’s first indie Wii U eShop game.
Interestingly, without a Japanese publisher, developers can’t release their games on the 3DS or Wii U eShop.

Retro City Rampage creator says Nintendo is “great to work with”
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Podcast Stories | 0 comments
Nintendo has experienced an amazing turnaround in the indie scene within the span of just a few years.
No one will forget how atrocious the Wii Shop Channel was. Developers were forced to put up with limits, the store itself was limited, and at the time, Nintendo maintained an overall poor image with smaller studios.
That has all changed with the 3DS and Wii U eShops. Even a developer like Vblank Entertainment – a studio that will release the last high-profile Wii Shop Channel game in Retro City Rampage – has a high opinion of Nintendo when it comes to indies.
In a tweet yesterday, Vlbank’s Brian Provinciano wrote:
@flamedragon_ Nintendo’s great to work with. Both Sony and Nintendo are welcoming to indies.
