Duck Dynasty screenshots
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Screenshots | 2 Comments
An official page on Nintendo’s website provides first screenshots from the 3DS version of Duck Dynasty. Interestingly, this game features a more cartoon-like approach unlike the realistic style of the console edition.
We still don’t know too much about how Duck Dynasty actually plays. Nintendo’s website only states, “Learn to become a Robertson! Go Duck Huntin’, Fishin’ and Froggin’ with Willie, Uncle Si, and the rest of the family from the hit TV show.”

Child of Light developer now a “core team” within Ubisoft
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii U eShop | 4 Comments
CVG is reporting that Ubisoft has created a dedicated “core team” within the company featuring members from the Child of Light development group.
In an interview with the site, Ubisoft Montreal’s VP of creative Lionel Raynaud said:
“We are super happy with Child of Light. The team did a good job and the game had a great reception. We were proud to deliver something new and unique – a lot of people were surprised that Montreal was delivering this kind of game. The team learned a lot about RPG mechanics during development and this has resulted in us creating a core team. The people who made this game now want to work together again, whether it’s on a small game or not. This dynamic has incredible value in the industry and it’s what we want to do: we want to create core teams that want to make great games.”
“So yes, we will encourage other initiatives like Child of Light and there’s a chance that we will have many more games like that in the future. I already have many different projects that are in the pitch stage – I even had one in my office this morning, which was super exciting.”
Plourde himself has “moved on” from the Child of Light team to work on a different project. However, the chance to work on a smaller game provided him with the opportunity “to grow and try something different.”
“It wasn’t the most commercial idea so it became very personal – I even did a lot of the PR myself; GDC talks, global tours etc. I have moved on. I guess I’m a special snowflake in this case, because I hate being stuck in one place. At some point somebody put me in a room and said, ‘Pat, you’re the Rainbow Six guy!’ or ‘You’re the Assassin’s Creed guy!’ but I said no, even after Far Cry.”
