We’ve been hearing lots of gossip about Epic Mickey 2 being made for the Wii (possibly Wii U as well), PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. According to the latest speculation, though, there’s also a “companion” game of sorts in the works for the 3DS.

Not much is known about the rumored project. Nintendo Magazine France says that it will contain 2D elements, but this hasn’t been confirmed.

If this is the real deal, we may hear about it on this week’s GameTrailers TV episode, Nintendo Power, or Disney’s upcoming conference.

Europe getting some sort of Kid Icarus: Uprising AR card pack

Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments

I’m not entirely sure what this is. It could be a pre-order bonus for a European territory, or perhaps NoE will be selling AR card packs on a regular basis.

The photo above comes from a Masahiro Sakurai tweet, so maybe he’ll be willing to share more information soon.

Gaijin Games once again says Bit.Trip Runner 2 is an option on Wii U, talk about BitTroid

Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 0 comments

Bit.Trip Runner 2 was delayed to November earlier today, and Gaijin Games artist Mike Roush is once again reminding everyone that a Wii U version is possible. The console should be out for the holidays… wouldn’t Bit.Trip Runner 2 be a nice launch title for the Wii U’s store?

Regarding a Wii U version, Roush said:

“(A Wii U version is) definitely something we’re thinking about. My guess is we will always be with Nintendo. Everyone at Gaijin Games is a Nintendo fanboy, so we will most likely continue that relationship in the future. We’ll make one game and cross-platform it to the best of our ability. When we made these decisions we never knew about Wii U. So rather than us ‘leaving Nintendo’, it’s that these decisions were made a year ago. We would never leave Nintendo, we love them to death.”

That’s not the only news from Roush. He teased an idea Gaijin Games has for something called “BitTroid”. It would be “a mash-up of Bit.Trip and Metroid.”

He said:

“We’ve been joking around for years about making ‘BitTroid’ – a mash-up of Bit.Trip and Metroid. We’ve never thought about it seriously but we talk about it often. It would be something we’d love to do. We’d need to get a sub-team focused on that and do it in the old Bit.Trip style.”

Kojima explains why he wanted Snake in Smash Bros.

Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 2 Comments

Following the release of Super Smash Bros. Melee, we heard tales of Hideo Kojima asking Masahiro Sakurai to include Snake in the game. Sakurai wasn’t able to fulfill this request as Melee was too far along in development. However, Snake did end up joining Super Smash Bros. Brawl’s roster.

Kojima wanted to see Snake in a Smash Bros. title for two reasons. First, he believed introducing the character to “younger people” would be a smart move as “there hasn’t been a lot of Metal Gear on Nintendo platforms.” His son had also mentioned to Kojima how there wasn’t a character made by him in any of the series’ games.

Kojima said:

“My child likes Super Smash Bros., so we play it a lot together. And he told me that there’s no character that you made in that game. As you know, we did make Twin Snakes, but generally speaking, there hasn’t been a lot of Metal Gear on Nintendo platforms. So from that perspective, I thought it was a good way to expose younger people to this character, Snake.”
