Cursed Mountain developer is no more
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 2 Comments
After having developed just one title, Deep Silver Vienna has been shut down by Koch Media. The company cited poor sales of Cursed Mountain for the studio’s closure and noted that “this decision is not easy for us.” Rumor has it that co-founder and executive producer Hannes Seifert has found a new home at Square Enix Europe. But it is a shame that Deep Silver Vienna has been closed, especially after the promise that Cursed Mountain showed for the development team’s future.

Iwata explains Xenoblade’s name change
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
As many Nintendo fans know, Xenoblade was originally called Monado: Beginning of the World. The title was announced on the company’s E3 press site last year and suddenly resurfaced yesterday, with its new name. What was the motivation behind Xenoblade’s name change? Satoru Iwata explained at Nintendo’s latest financial briefing:
“At E3 2009 it was announced with a temporary name, ‘Monado: Beginning of the World.’ We decided to call it XENOBLADE to honor Mr. Tetsuya Takahashi who poured his soul into making this and who has been working on the XENO series.”
