Engine Software’s Flip the Core is in the works for DSiWare, and it could be added to the eShop and DSi Shop soon. The company has already submitted the title to Nintendo for release.

Flip the Core is a side-scrolling shooter in which players rotate and manipulate the game world to bypass enemies, obstacles, dead-ends, and tight spots.

You can find the first trailer for Flip the Core above.

First Project Cars Wii U details

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

Project Cars was thought to be coming to Wii U thanks to a logo found on the game’s official website. It was later removed, making us wonder if developer Slightly Mad Studios had made a mistake or announced something they shouldn’t have.

In any case, we have an absolute confirmation that Project Cars has been in development for Wii U. It’s mentioned numerous times in the company’s “overview” report created back in February. Better yet, it contains some information as to how the title will play like on the new console.

The report makes note of the following points:

• Screen as primary view – Ie.. allowing you to transfer play of the game between the TV and on-the-go around the house
• Screen as secondary view – Switch between rear-view mirror, overhead map, telemetry
• Primary input method – Drive by tilting the controller, onscreen buttons replicate the buttons/switches on a real wheel (push to toggle on/off or flip up/down)
• Secondary input method – Manage decisions in the pits (swiping through tire choices, setting fuel amount),
• Camera – Personalize your profile, pose for the podium
• Menu navigation method – Flick photos from your gallery to the TV, private chat with teammates

Project Cars is currently without a release date, though development will wrap up in 2013.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.

One of the worst-kept gaming industry secrets has been confirmed today. Black Ops 2 is the next Call of Duty title, and it’s launching in November.

A pre-order card has been located at a Target outlet, revealing a November 13, 2012 release date. Only PlayStation 3/Xbox 360 cards were found, but Black Ops 2 will almost certainly be coming to the PC and at least one Nintendo platform.

Ubisoft acknowledges Rayman Legends

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

Ubisoft has acknowledged the Rayman Legends video that leaked out today.

It was never meant to be seen by the public – not even at E3. Ubisoft describes the footage as “a purely internal demonstrative video.” The company went on to say that it “in NO way represents the final game, the final console or their features.”

Ubisoft said in a statement:

“An internal video showing images of Rayman Origins’ sequel has leaked over the Internet. This video was intended as a purely internal demonstrative video, and in NO way represents the final game, the final console or their features.”

I’m sure Ubisoft is waiting until E3 to fully unveil Rayman Legends. It’s less than forty days away!

Miyamoto on introducing new characters soon, not worried about future of gaming, more

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

The Guardian has published a mammoth, two-part interview with Shigeru Miyamoto. In the discussion Miyamoto touches on a few personal things, such as his daily routine, why he plays games, hiring new employees at Nintendo, and more. Interestingly, an the end of the interview, Miyamoto more or less said that he wouldn’t be playing games if he didn’t make them due to a lack of time and the difficulty in finding the right title to experience.

Miyamoto also commented on new Nintendo characters. He told the publication, “there’s a strong possibility we will introduce some new characters to the scene soon.”
