Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 6 Comments
The Binding Isaac is something that could still come to the 3DS. On his official blog, creator Edmund McMillen gave a simple “no” when asked if the game is no longer a possibility for Nintendo’s platform.
It’s an interesting comment for sure. Sadly though, McMillen didn’t elaborate beyond his terse response.

Keiji Inafune open to the idea of a Mega Man Legends-style Mighty No. 9 game
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Keiji Inafune has shown some interest in going the Mega Man Legends-style route with Mighty No. 9.
Inafune, fielding a question about the possibility during a Q&A session at SGC 2014, said that he’d “love to see” Mighty No. 9 go in “any directions that would fit the series”. He then asked attendees if they’d back a project that incorporates the same kind of gameplay as Mega Man Legends – which was met with a roaring cheer.
Inafune’s translator ended by saying, “he’s got nothing to announce today but the fact is he’s heard all of you shout out like that. He’s definitely putting that in his pocket and taking it back with him.”
Team17 came close to losing the Worms franchise

Team17 came close to losing its Worms IP – not once, but twice.
In the late 1990s for example, Team17 signed a publishing deal after receiving extra funding for a game behind schedule. The Worms IP would have been relinquished to the publisher if sales targets for the title were not met within 12 months.
Thankfully, everything ended up working out, as the target was eventually beaten by 1.7 percent.

Mercedes-Benz says its Mario commercial has exceeded expectations
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 5 Comments
Back in May, Nintendo announced that Mario Kart 8 would be receiving Mercedes-Benz DLC. The news was accompanied by a commercial featuring a crossover between Mario and the car company.
According to Mercedes-Benz Japan president and chief executive officer Kintaro Ueno, the ad “has exceeded our expectations.” No surprise there, as the video has been viewed over two million times. Mercedes-Benz Japan has also confirmed an increase in visitors to its showrooms and demand for the car.
Ueno said:
“[The commercial] was quite a talking point, bringing a lot of people to the showroom. This is a new market segment for us, but it has exceeded our expectations. I can say that it’s going well.”
