WayForward working on multiplatform title
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
According to the LinkedIn profile of games director Armando Soto, WayForward has a new multiplatform title in the works. An unannounced project is on the way to the Wii U, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.
This doesn’t seem to be Mighty Switch Force HD. I also wouldn’t bet any money on the possibility of it being a new Shantae.
Guess we’ll just have to wait this one out…
Pixel Entertainment clarifies Starbeast project, has 3DS eShop game in the works
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
Pixel Entertainment has sent us some information clarifying the development of Starbeast and the studio’s other projects.
Starbeast is said to be in a “very early stage in development.” Its slow creation process allowed the team “to fine tune every detail.”
At one point, the game was indeed coming to Wii. But when Pixel Entertainment heard about Wii U, the team decided to switch Starbeast to the new console.
The information we posted over the weekend is outdated. It’s “very different now, due to the extra time.”
Pixel put the project on hold in January. This allowed for the development of a simpler, unannounced 3DS eShop game. Once this new title is done – and we should be hearing about it within a month – development will switch back to Starbeast and a formal announcement will be made before year’s end.

Shantae is still coming to the 3DS Virtual Console
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
I’m not entirely sure why this is being treated as new news since it’s been confirmed many times before, but Nintendo Power has once again stated that Shantae is on its way to the Virtual Console.
The magazine could be basing its information on a report from June. When we heard about the title a few months back, WayForward said it would be submitting Shantae to the ESRB. Once that was all taken care of, Nintendo would decide when the game would hit the store.
Nintendo Power doesn’t bring any new information to the table, but let’s hope that Shantae will finally show up on the 3DS eShop soon.

Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney development “at its climax”, Ace Attorney film talk
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
It’s been awhile since we last hard about Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney. But in a discussion with Ace Attorney creator Shuu Takumi, Ace Attorney movie director Takashi Miike gave a small status update.
Miike said that development is “at its climax” and development is “progressing well”:
“Production on Layton vs Ace Attorney is at its climax. It’s like my entire life is focused on it. While I still can’t say much, it’s progressing well, so please wait a bit more.”
Takumi also spoke about the differences in working on Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney compared to his duties with the Ace Attorney film:
“While [Latyon vs Ace Attorney] is being developed jointly with Level-5, games are my job, so I can’t just leave it to someone else like with the movie.”
If there were to be a sequel to the Ace Attorney movie, it wouldn’t’ just be Ace Attorney 2 converted into a film. Miike would instead prefer to show sides of the story not presented in the games.
Thanks to 4Him for the tip.
