Samurai Warriors 4 won’t be out for awhile. On Twitter, head of development Hisashi Koinuma wrote that Tecmo Koei is targeting a 2014 launch for the game.

That year has been purposely chosen. 2014 marks the tenth anniversary of the Samurai Warriors series, which made its debut on February 11, 2004 for the PlayStation 2.

The last mainline entry, Samurai Warriors 3, came out for Wii a few years ago. The series has since been appearing on the 3DS with two titles: Samurai Warriors: Chronicle and Samurai Warriors: Chronicle 2nd.

Dishonored dev talks vaguely about Wii U, says interface is important

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments

Dishonored co-creative director Harvey Smith was recently asked about Wii U. Unfortunately, Smith didn’t have much to say about the console.

He did speak a little about the importance of interface though. Smith feels that the Wii’s interface “reminds me that I’m struggling”, but hopes Nintendo will “have a better fix this time around”.

Smith showed some openness to working with new devices since they provide “a very fertile ground for exploring new ideas.” He additionally stated:

“Nintendo deserves accolades for that. I just don’t know how far the new console goes. I didn’t perceive what people’s excitement of the device was. I don’t know why, but it didn’t show up on my filter somehow.”

All of Smith’s comments are posted below.

Ghostlight localizing Crash City Mayhem for Europe

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments

For the most part, Ghostlight’s localization history has been all about RPGs. The company’s latest project is related to an entirely different project, however.

Ghostlight announced today that it’ll be bringing the Japanese destructive driving title Runabout 3D to Europe. When it releases in the continent, the game will be called “Crash City Mayhem”.

A release date hasn’t been set. But if I had to guess, I’d estimate a late 2012/early 2013 launch.

Crysis 3 “a possibility” for Wii U, Crytek working with Nintendo, dual screen talk

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments

When we last heard about the possibility of Crysis 3 on Wii U, Crytek’s director of creative development Rasmus Hoejengaard basically said it wouldn’t happen. And more recently, founder and CEO Cevat Yerli indicated the studio has no plans for the platform.

Now Crytek is changing its tune a bit.

When Rasmus’ comments were brought up in an interview with Crytek games producer Mike Read, he noted that Crysis 3 “is a possibility” for Wii U, adding that the studio is “working with Nintendo”.
