Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 13 Comments
The team behind Night Trap ReVamped seemed dead set against bringing their game to Wii U. In the explanation, it was said that there was “too much bad blood” with Nintendo based on events that took place two decades ago.
Given fan feedback though, it now seems that the folks behind Night Trap ReVamped have now reconsidered the situation. And, believe it or not, they’re applying to become Wii U developers and publishers.
Here’s an excerpt from today’s Kickstarter post:

Some Hyrule Warriors players experiencing a few technical issues
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 36 Comments
Hyrule Warriors appears to be suffering from freezing issues – at least for some players. A few users have taken to Twitter and made note of the game locking up at different occasions such as in co-op mode, on the results screen, and even the title screen.
Some Hyrule Warriors players have also encountered “processing drop” issues (seemingly a dip in frame rate). This may occur while slaying multiple enemies at once, resulting in the FPS being cut in half.
On the bright side, Koei Tecmo is aware of some of the problems affecting Hyrule Warriors. The game’s Twitter account recently said that a few bug reports had been received and the team planned on working through the Japanese holiday this past week.

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate director on the new Felyne jumping attacks
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Capcom showed a new trailer for Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate in a Japanese Nintendo Direct held last month. The video showed a new feature in which Felyne companions can launch hunters up into the air to attack monsters.
Director Kaname Fujioka has since explained how it works. He told Siliconera:
“The way the system with the Felynes works is quite different from what we had in [Monster Hunter 3]. When you bring your Felyne companions along with you in 4, they have stats, just like any other character would.”
“And what happens is, when you have other players who bring their own Felynes along, depending on how the stats match up, they’ll end up performing different things to help you out. They can lay traps, they can notify you when enemies are in a weakened state. It depends on what kind of Felynes you have, and how they combine with the other ones during the quest.”
“One of the new things we added specifically for 4 Ultimate over 4 is that, one of the things these Felynes can do now is launch the player up into the air. And that does behave essentially the same way as a jump attack. Same damage, same animation. It allows you to do it in places you couldn’t normally perform a jumping attack.”
