GameCube remakes have a good chance of releasing in North America
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in GameCube, News, Wii | 3 Comments
For those unlucky few who have missed out on classic titles on the GameCube will end up having another chance to experience them on Wii. Up until now, Nintendo has confirmed that the re-releases will obviously be available in Japan, and later, Europe. Strangely, Nintendo of America has not really provided any word on an NA timeframe, let alone an official confirmation. Based on new details coming from the ESRB however, there’s a pretty good chance we’ll at least be seeing Pikmin 1 and 2 in North America soon.
The ESRB has rated both titles under the Wii category. Previously, the two titles stood alone as GameCube games. The Pikmin titles are apparently the only two GameCube re-releases that have been rated for Wii – and have been announced by Nintendo. The ESRB doesn’t always gurentee a release (ASH, for instance, as far as we know), though the odds are more than favorable for the re-releases to launch in North America in the future.
Thanks for the news tip, Jake!

No More Heroes 2 will arrive in two flavors in Europe
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 1 Comment
“We won’t be able to make the same game for all territories. For Europe, we’re going to release two versions. One extreme version, and one with less violence…With No More Heroes 2 we want to please the fans too. I want the European users to be able to experience the extreme version. When I first had the concept [first game], I had both the bloody version and the milder version in mind. So when I worked on the US version, it wasn’t a problem for me to make, but when I made the Japanese version, I needed to rethink it a little bit. But I did both at the same time.” – Suda51
This is pretty good news, if you ask me. The first No More Heroes title was bloodless in Europe, so at least there’s an option here to choose which game you’d prefer to purchase. I wouldn’t be surprised however, if the game has to go through a lot of trouble in order to get passed passed in territories such as Germany.

– He’s going to get really serious about fighting as opposed to the first title
– The team that worked on No More Heroes 1 is also working on the second game (same character designer, mecha designer)
– When they made No More Heroes 1, they felt they had one of the best teams for a Wii title so they wanted to make another game with the team
