Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Videos, Wii U | 26 Comments
Update (10/7): Bumped to the top. The dream of more characters might be dead. Nintendo has updated the website, and it now says three characters instead of five.
Original (10/6): Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash’s full site has gone live. Access it here.
On the page, Nintendo mentions that the game “features five new characters alongside returning fan favorites.” Based on what we’ve previously seen, we know of three entirely new roster additions. That should mean there are two others we don’t know about currently.
Finally, we’ve rounded up the various clips from Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash’s site. Find five minutes of footage below (warning: shows some of the secret characters, though I suppose they really aren’t at this point).

Beenox no longer working on Spider-Man games
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 7 Comments
Beenox worked on Spider-Man games for several years. The studio created Shattered Dimensions, Edge of Time, and both games for The Amazing Spider-Man in the span of five years. Despite Beenox’s involvement with Spider-Man since 2010, the company has now moved on.
Develop reports in its latest issue that Beenox is “no longer working on the Spider-Man IP”. That makes sense, as their output has been limited to Skylanders over the past few years. This year specifically, Beenox was in charge of Skylanders SuperChargers Racing for 3DS and Wii.
Beenox creative director Thomas Wilson told Develop about the studio’s transition:

Yuji Naka wants to make Ivy the Kiwi? and Rodea: The Sky Soldier sequels
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, DS, News, Wii, Wii U | 4 Comments
Yuji Naka has created a few titles at Prope, including Ivy the Kiwi? and Rodea: The Sky Soldier. Both have been standalone games, but that doesn’t mean Naka isn’t interested in making sequels – quite the opposite actually.
Speaking with Hardcore Gamer, Naka expressed interest in returning to Ivy the Kiwi? if given the opportunity. The same also goes for Rodea. At the same time, he’s also thinking about completely new ideas.
Naka said:
“Ivy the Kiwi and Rodea are two titles that have a special part in my heart, so I would love to try creating sequels if I am given the opportunity. I constantly have ideas for new titles. Though I cannot say them here, please look forward to the day I can show them to the public.”
Naka further expressed interest in revisiting Rodea when asked if he’d like to see a comic series based on the game:
“If I am given the opportunity, I would love to have Rodea as a comic book series. I also personally want to see more of Rodea’s adventures.”
