NetherRealm hopes to make a non-fighting title one day
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Since its inception, NetherRealm Studios has only made fighting games. That started with Mortal Kombat in 2011 and will continue through 2013 with Injustice: Gods Among Us.
While there’s no doubt that fighting titles are NetherRealm’s specialty, Ed Boon hopes to branch out into other genres in the future.
Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon told the PlayStation Blog the following when asked about making a non-fighting project:
“We feel like Injustice is kind of our first step towards that. If it does well, we would like to see our next step be a non-fighting game, maybe something unique in its own right. This is our first step in that direction.”

Pachter down on Wii U, believes Activision pushed for Pro controller
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter has returned with more “positive” commentary about the Wii U.
Speaking at the Develop Conference in Brighton last week, Patcher expressed doubt in Nintendo’s new console. He also spoke about his belief that Activision persuaded Nintendo to make the Wii U Pro Controller so that “big games like Call Of Duty” could come to the system.
He said:
“(Wii U) isn’t going to work. I don’t get it. I think that essentially this is a solution in search of a problem. I mean, somebody had an idea – ‘let’s make the controller a tablet’ – and there aren’t many games that are going to take advantage of that. Activision never said anything to me, but I know that [for] big games like Call Of Duty they said, ‘No, we’re not putting it on there if you don’t give us a conventional controller’. So they gave in.”
Patcher went on to discuss Nintendo’s approach to their hardware, thinking that innovative ideas will lead to success. In the case of Wii U (and opposed to the Wii), he feels that Nintendo isn’t “getting lucky”:
“(The Wii is) gimmicky. It worked, they got lucky, [but] I don’t think they’re getting lucky with Wii U. I don’t think they suck – I just think that they really believe that, ‘If we’re still novel, everything we do will work’. This isn’t going to work. Hardcore gamers will buy them; hardcore Nintendo fanboys will buy it. They could put out a piece of cardboard and say that it’ll play Mario and they’ll buy it.”

Capcom planning Gamescom conference
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Capcom will hold a press conference in Cologne one day before the start of Gamescom 2012. The publisher’s event is set for Tuesday August 14th at 11.00 CET.
This year marks Capcom’s “biggest ever presence” at Gamescom, and its own conference will be an “event to remember”.
The company will likely have a few things to say about its already-announced games, but perhaps there’ll be a reveal or two. I’m personally pulling for a Monster Hunter Tri G localization announcement (a man can dream!).
