Rumor: One Factor 5/White Harvest Wii project cancelled
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii | 1 Comment
Rumor has it that another Factor 5 project has been canceled, possibly a Superman game that was being handled by White Harvest LLC. Assets and projects were transferred from Factor 5 to the new company (as you may remember from that ex-employee lawsuit), but apparently the title, which was in the works for Wii, is no longer in production. It was canceled because the publisher didn’t have a ton of faith in the game. The project started development in February and is said to have involved converting a large open world title. While we don’t know what type of game it was for sure, there is a claim going around that it was a Superman project.
Interestingly, the same rumor source says that White Harvest LLC is still at work on a different Wii title. Factor 5 CEO Achim Moller listed that there were multiple Wii projects in development on his LinkedIn profile, but it’s unclear if that includes the canceled title. If we’re lucky, we may (or may not) receive some news at gamescon. And, while the rumored source has been correct with a number of unconfirmed reports in the past, this information should remain as speculation for now.

Miyamoto hopes fans have faith in the Wii Vitality Sensor, says Nintendo has “very creative ideas”
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 4 Comments
Perhaps one of the oddest announces to have come out of E3 was Nintendo’s very own Wii Vitality Sensor. Sure, the Wii Balance Board received skepticism when it was first unveiled, but the Wii Vitality Sensor seems like a much different peripheral. Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto hopes that “people have confidence in us” even though he understands that showcasing software along with the announcement would have been preferable. Also, as has been Nintendo’s position with past add-ons, Miyamoto believes that the company has “lots of very creative ideas.”
“Ideally we would have been able to talk about this in terms of the software implementation rather than just the sensor itself. I don’t have any indication for you (of what we have in the works) other than to say that we have lots of very creative ideas.
We understand the challenge before us, and we have met these challenges in the past. We just ask that people have confidence in us.”
