Ubisoft and Sumo Digital were once planning Driver 5 for several platforms, including Wii. Unseen64 shares some insight into the cancelled project with a new article published today.

Driver 5 never moved past pre-production, according to the site. The original goal was to have it out by early 2011.

Ubisoft’s partnership with Sumo Digital fell through for unspecified reasons. Eventually, the project was given to the internal team Ubisoft Reflections, who made Driver: San Francisco.

Update: Confirmed – Target apparently not restocking Rosalina amiibo, won’t have some wave 3 figures in store

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Rumors | 14 Comments

Update (2/2) Destructoid appears to have confirmed this news. Check out the following:

A Target employee has confirmed the authenticity of this document, an internal newsletter called “The Vibe in Electronics.” They state that running out of stock and not getting more shipments for a Target exclusive item is common. They also cement the fact that Sheik may be rare as there haven’t been many shipments coming in at all, but Toon Link is in fact common.

If you’re living in the U.S. and have interest in the Rosalina amiibo, you may want to try finding product sooner rather than later. An internal memo from Target indicates that the figure will not be restocked. As many of you know, Target is the only retailer selling the Rosalina amiibo in the United States.

There are some other interesting points from the memo as well. For instance, Target will apparently not stock the Mega Man, Sonic, King Dedede, and Ike amiibo in store. Consumers will instead be directed to order from the retailer’s website.

Posted on 10 years ago by Kirara Koneko(@KiraraKoneko) in General Nintendo, News | 3 Comments

Some lucky Club Nintendo members are already starting to see their copies of the Super Smash Bros. soundtrack arrive.

Inside the soundtrack there would appear to be a message from Masahiro Sakurai in which he explains that although the soundtrack was unavailable for sale due to licensing issues there are glad to be able to offer it as a special present.

Ok this is interesting, according to Sakurai's liner notes, they can't sell the Smash soundtrack due to rights issues pic.twitter.com/ks0Xfuiz71
