GAME apologizes, gives out £10 gift card for Super Mario Maker pre-order woes
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 3 Comments
A number of GAME customers went through a whole bunch of issues if they pre-ordered Super Mario Maker from the retailer. Most notably, some saw charges in their bank accounts up to seven times, and it wasn’t until a few days later that these problems were ironed out.
GAME is at least attempting to provide some compensation for troubling consumers. Along with sending out a formal apology, many are also being given letters with a £10 gift card.
Here’s a look at the letter:
“As you have been affected by some billing issues on Mario, we wanted to get in tough to say sorry and that we made a mistake. We know this was wrong and have been working to ensure things go smoothly in future.
We wanted to send you this goodwill voucher of £10 which you can redeem either in store or online. We know you love gaming or were buying Mario as a gift. We’re sorry if we caused you any inconvenience and please accept our sincere apologies.”

Star Fox Zero dev – using two screens, 60FPS, delayed to reach “Platinum feel”
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 126 Comments
GameSpot recently spoke with Platinum Games’ Yusuke Hashimoto, one of the directors working on Star Fox Zero.
First, here’s what Hashimoto said about working with two screens:
“Those two screens, you can’t find that anywhere else. When we were doing Bayonetta 2, we just used that screen as a touch pad. With Star Fox, Miyamoto originally had the idea that he wanted to create a shooting game that used both of these screens, and then we said, okay, how can we combine this with Star Fox? Just having to use those two screens makes things interesting.”
“We’ve been working with action games long enough. We understand how the players play an action game, how they respond to an action game, how they’ll move, what they’ll do in the situational stuff. What we’re making here now, it’s totally a new learning experience for us, which is kind of fun to find out.”
Hashimoto also discussed the importance of nailing a solid 60 frames per second. The game not only runs at this speed on the television, but also on the GamePad.
“We’ve got them both moving at 60 fps, which is big for a lot of people, I think. But I think that it’s kind of a milestone in gaming, in a way. It’s not something that we have done ourselves before at Platinum, and it’s just not even something that has been done in gaming before. So it’s a lot of new challenges.”
Finally, Hashimoto briefly touched on Star Fox Zero’s delay. The decision was made in order to give the game more of a “Platinum feel”.
“We want to make it feel as great as possible. It’s easy to say [it was delayed] to increase its quality, or whatever, but that entails a lot, whether it be visuals, or controls.”
