Capcom won’t have any playable Nintendo games at E3 2012
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 0 comments
Capcom won’t have any Nintendo games on display at E3 2012 next month. That’s according to a company representative.
As far as we know, Capcom has absolutely nothing in the works for North American 3DS owners. Monster Hunter Tri G still hasn’t been announced for the continent, but fans were hoping for a confirmation within the next few weeks. And although Capcom is creating Monster Hunter 4 and Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney for the 3DS, it’s unknown if either title will leave Japan.
We also don’t know what Capcom has in store for Wii U, if anything. Perhaps the company is just playing coy to make some splashes at E3 (or maybe I’m just delusional, which is probably the case).

Ben 10: Omniverse announced for Wii U and other platforms
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, DS, News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
I honestly wouldn’t be posting about this under normal circumstances. However, Ben 10: Omniverse has just been announced for Wii U (as well as Wii, 3DS, DS, PS3, and Xbox 360), so I figured that was substantial enough to make a new post about it on NE.
It’s interesting to see these Wii U game confirmations just a few weeks before E3. Ubisoft revealed Avengers: Battle of Earth for the console a few days ago.
You can find details about Ben 10: Omniverse below.
Journey Through Time as Young and Teen Ben in Ben 10: Omniverse™, the First Game Based on the Highly Anticipated Cartoon Network Series
D3Publisher (D3P) and Cartoon Network Enterprises (CNE) today announced that they will bring Ben 10: Omniverse™, the first video game based on the highly-anticipated, brand new animated series of the same name, to store shelves this fall. The series will introduce fans to an entirely different Ben 10 experience through an all-new character design that pays homage to Ben’s past and a fresh batch of aliens to battle. Ben 10: Omniverse will also mark the debut of Ben’s new sidekick Rook, a skilled but inexperienced Plumber graduate. The Ben 10: Omniverse interactive game from D3Publisher will release on the upcoming Wii U™ system from Nintendo, the Wii™ system from Nintendo, Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, Nintendo 3DS™ hand-held system and Nintendo DS™ hand-held system.
In Ben: 10 Omniverse, players will be immersed in exciting action-brawler gameplay featuring the new art style inspired from the show. Gamers will have the power to switch forms and battle as one of 13 playable alien heroes, including never-before-seen aliens like Bloxx and Gravattack, as they work with either Ben or Rook to defeat the evil plans of a fierce villain, intent on destroying the world.
A look at the Mario Kart 7 patch

“Installing” the Mario Kart 7 patch is really one of the easiest things you can do on the 3DS. Some would argue that an automatic or in-game update would be more beneficial, but there aren’t any issues on downloading a small patch from the eShop.
Nintendo files 3DS-related patent for Circle Pad ornament design
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
A US patent filed by Nintendo in December 2011 and granted just recently could suggest a change is on the way for the 3DS’ Circle Pad. The filing specifically pertains to the “ornament design for an operating knob for portable electronic computer”.
As shown in the image above, the patent seems to imply Nintendo could be interested in implementing an analog stick design similar to what can be found on a GameCube controller.
We’ve seen filings come and go plenty of times before without any action, so it’s unclear if Nintendo plans on taking advantage of the patent in the future.

The countdown expires in nine days. You can keep track of it here.
