Rumor: Biker Bash in development for Wii U
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii U | 0 comments
It appears that Slightly Mad Studios and Gamagio are bringing “Biker Bash” to Wii U (probably through the eShop) as well as Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network, and Steam.
While an official announcement hasn’t been made, a comprehensive document has been discovered outlining the game’s numerous features and various elements.
The document describes Biker Bash as “a bike racing game that combines classic gameplay from titles like ROAD RASH/MOTORSTORM with modern fighting mechanics from STREETFIGHTER IV/FIGHT NIGHT and drags it kicking and screaming into the 21st Century with next-gen graphics, gameplay, and social features… all at a downloadable price point.”
Included in Biker Bash are various single-player and multiplayer modes, competitive gameplay with friends, combat during racing, weapons and power-ups, items and upgrades, and more. Also mentioned is a RAGE meter that, when filled, can be used to “Rage Boost” past the competition or eliminate others on the race track.

As far as Wii U exclusive features go, Gray said:
“We’re tinkering with some features, but one thing we know for certain is that it will be the only version to exclusively have a Wii U logo.”
Gray commented on the 3DS as well. When asked if the team has any interest in developing for the handheld, Gray noted:
“It seems like it could be a good fit, but we won’t know until we have some time to tinker with it.”

Is it just me, or is this port of Myst incredibly pointless? Most of the action takes place on the touch screen anyway…
Harada talks Tag 2 for Wii U, fears that the console isn’t next-gen, Smash Bros.
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 0 comments
Tekken series producer Katsuhiro Harada has fielded three important topics concerning Wii U.
He was recently asked about the Wii U version of Tekken Tag Tournament 2, his thoughts on the console being next-gen, and Namco Bandai’s involvement with the next Smash Bros. release.
On Tekken Tag Tournament 2, Harada discussed some of ideas he’s been thinking about for the GamePad. Also mentioned was console exclusives, such as the already-revealed “Mushroom Mode”.
As for the power of Wii U, Harada said “the graphics chips seems to be pretty decent”. But he feels that people are focusing too much on specs while not considering the system’s capabilities and features. Harada personally likes the idea of being able to take a full-fledged game, put it in the GamePad screen, and continue playing it elsewhere if someone needs access to the TV.
Lastly, Smash Bros. Harada doesn’t believe that fans should be concerned about its development since Masahiro Sakurai is handling game design. Harada won’t be too involved since he’ll be occupied with the Tekken series.
Harada also has no plans to push for certain characters from series such as Tekken and SoulCalibur. He stated, “The sole decision will probably be made in a way that if more people want Tekken characters in it then Sakurai might choose to do so, if not then so be it.”
Head on below for all of Harada’s comments about Wii U.
