Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Random | 2 Comments
Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime has had plenty of memorable moments over the past decade. There is, of course, his grand debut at E3 2004. Reggie will also always be remembered for his now-famous line from a Wii Fit presentation at E3 2007: “My body is ready”.
This is something Nintendo has decided to recognize in the latest Smash Bros. game on 3DS. After collecting the different custom outfits in the game, you’ll be presented with the image above. Random no doubt, but it’s a pretty great inclusion on Nintendo’s part!

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 2 Comments
IE Online Entertainment’s first project as an indie developer will be “Super Cordon Bleu”, the company announced today. The game is described as “a classic 2D platformer inspired by the original Super Mario Bros. series.” Precision platforming will come into play “that will hopefully test the skills of even the most hard core game masters while still providing enough charm and fun for even the most novice of gamers.”
IE Online Entertainment intends to launch a Kickstarter sometime in the future. Even if the target isn’t met, the studio tells us that Super Cordon Bleu will be completed and the title will release on both Wii U and Steam.
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate producer explains Sonic and Nintendo collaborations
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 4 Comments
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is jam-packed with collaborations with other franchises. Recently, SEGA announced that the game would see a crossover with Sonic the Hedgehog. Players will be able to dress felynes in Sonic armor, and there’s also a guild card based on the Green Hill Zone.
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate producer Ryozo Tsujimoto explained to Siliconera how the collaboration with SEGA came to be. He said:
“There are actually a few people at Sega that we’re pretty close to. We were chatting and thinking if there was something we could do together—some kind of collaboration. Then we settled on Sonic, ultimately, because he’s not only popular here in Japan, he’s also extremely popular overseas.”
“Since we’re doing an overseas version of this game, it made sense to do some sort of collaborative crossover that would make sense globally. So I had an associate of mine at Sega introduce me to the person in charge [of licensing]. We shook hands, made the deal, and there you go.”
