Rumor: Ubisoft Vancouver was working on MotionSports Wii U
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Last month, Ubisoft closed its Vancouver subsidiary. This was the studio behind the likes of Academy of Champions for Wii.
Before Ubisoft Vancouver shut down, they may have been working on MotionSports Wii U as a launch title for the console. The project was likely cancelled as the studio is now defunct.
Superannuation tweeted earlier today:
“Also, it sounds like Ubisoft Vancouver was working on a MotionSports WiiU launch title—now presumably dead—at the time of their closure.”
The story behind Solatorobo’s publishing situation
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments
In addition to being the first game in the “Little Tail Bronx” series, Tail Concerto was also CyberConnect2’s first project. The title didn’t sell particularly well, and I’m sure Mamoru-kun met a similar fate.
Due to Tail Concerto’s poor sales, Namco Bandai wasn’t too interested in CyberConnect 2’s pitch for Solatorobo: Red the Hunter.
You might be wondering how the studio persuaded Namco Bandai into publishing the game given this fact.
Director Takayuki Isobe provided an explanation in an interview with Gamasutra:
“To overcome the weak points with Tail Concerto, we created massive amounts of assets, generating multiple concept documents, each time refining the world and settings to create a game with a very deep story and a detailed world view that even a mature audience could enjoy, and eventually were able to get the green light from our client.”

Rumor: Epic Mickey 2 getting Wii U support
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii U | 0 comments
Usually reliable gaming investigator Superannuation has heard rumblings that Epic Mickey 2 may see some sort of Wii U support. It appears that there will either be a Wii U version of the title, or the Wii edition will make use of the Wii U’s tablet one way or another.
Superannuation tweeted today:
“Apparently Junction Point is ‘implementing Wii U support for Epic Mickey 2.’ Not sure if that means WiiU SKU or Wii version supports tablet.”
I’m not sure how the Wii U controller would work on Wii. A separate Wii U version makes much more sense in my opinion. Then again, it’s currently unclear if any part of this rumor is true. We’ll just have to wait and see!

EA has been publishing Tiger Woods PGA Tour games on Wii since 2007. Sadly, those days are over.
The company told Kotaku that Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13 is not in development for Wii. A Wii U version might be possible, but EA hasn’t announced anything official for the platform.
