Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 5 Comments
Last week, Two Tribes made some comments stating that there would never be another Toki Tori game. The studio explained that Toki Tori 2 simply didn’t generate the kind of sales that they had hoped for.
Two Tribes explained things further on Twitter today, stating that “there is no audience” for Toki Tori 3 and “that won’t change.”
Tweets form the company read:
Interesting that it's news for people that we won't be making a new Toki Tori game. Did you guys expect us to do Toki Tori 3?

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 30 Comments
Update: Or maybe not? We’re hearing that some people are still able to take screenshots (including reader Skarnet). Not entirely sure what the deal is!
Original: As a little bit of random news, we’re hearing that the Wii U no longer allows users to to take screenshots of the system menu and processes. That means owners can’t capture images of their daily log or other similar features. At least for now, it’s unclear why the change was made.

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in GameCube, News | 4 Comments
StarCraft: Ghost went through a few different delays before Blizzard put the game on hold about a decade ago. But even after such a lengthy period of time, the company still seems interested in returning to the project “some day”.
VideoGamer spoke with Blizzard producer Alex Mayberry about StarCraft: Ghost, and was told that “the idea is still perfectly viable.” Still, the project probably won’t be revisited “any time soon.”

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 2 Comments
LEGO Ninjago: Nindroids is coming to the 3DS and PlayStation Vita, Warner Bros. announced today. A release is planned for the summer.
Here’s an official overview of the game:
LEGO Ninjago: Nindroids players will face their greatest challenge as they work to protect New Ninjago City from the Overlord’s Nindroid army. Infiltrate Borg Tower, fly the Kai Fighter and face off against the evil Tech Wu. Take to the streets in Cole’s Earth Mech and Jay’s Thunder Raider, defend the skies in Zane’s Ninjacopter, escape Pythor on Lloyd’s Golden Cycle, and enter the Digiverse for an epic final battle. Story mode features additional favorite characters like Nya, Sensei Garmadon, Samurai X, and PIXAL.
Hellbent Games is working on Nindroids as an action-focused sequel to 2011’s LEGO Battles: Ninjago for DS. It’ll feature 30 levels and a story that follows key plot points from the “LEGO Ninjago Rebooted” animated series.
Players will need to use special movies and combo attacks to progress. LEGO Ninjago: Nindroids also offers secret weapons such as Technoblades to hack into computers to solve puzzles and defend the city.
