New Sonic Boom details

SEGA has shared new details about Sonic Boom for both Wii U and 3DS. Overviews for each can be found below.
Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric (Wii U)
Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric will deliver a different experience than past titles. The detailed levels and emphasis on each character’s unique abilities will showcase the distinctive feel of an action- adventure game, giving players more choice in exploration as they work as a team to stop the deadly snake-like ancient villain, Lyric, before he can power up his army. The gameplay will challenge players with over-the-top speed runs, but the heart of the game will focus on intense combat and brand-new abilities including the Enerbeam. This new feature in the game gives players an energy-charged cord that can be used by characters to navigate the world like never before. Players will be able to swing or zip-line across gaps, explore alternate paths, grab and throw enemies and take away their shields in combat.
Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal
Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal is a standalone adventure that shares key characters, events and lore of the Sonic Boom universe with exclusive environments and characters. For the first time ever, gamers will be able to take on the role of Sticks, the newest member of the team who will play an integral role in the story after her best friend Amy gets kidnapped by the ancient villain Lyric. While the Wii U version is focused on action-adventure and exploration, Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal will place a bigger emphasis on platforming and puzzles. Additionally, unique collectibles featured in the Nintendo 3DS version will unlock special content on Wii U via Wi-Fi connectivity.

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 0 comments
Next month, the Nintendo Game Seminar will be taking place once again in Japan. Nintendo held the event last year as well after it returned from a three-year hiatus.
The Nintendo Game Seminar is intended for Japanese university students who will partake in game making under the guidance of Nintendo developers. The Nintendo Web Framework was featured last year, but this time around, 2D Unity titles are the focus.
Nintendo will be taking applications between June 16 and June 29. The session period is set between mid-August 2014 and late March 2015.
Natsume teasing 3 Nintendo announcements for E3, news on VC titles as well
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 7 Comments
Natsume has three Nintendo-related announcements in store for E3 2014, the company has teased. That’s in addition to the news Natsume will be sharing about new Virtual Console releases.
Community manager CeeCee wrote in a recent “State of the Farm” Tumblr update:
We’re saving a few secrets for closer to the show, but expect not one, not two, but THREE new Nintendo titles we’ll be announcing leading up to and at the show! This doesn’t include any classic eShop titles (and we’ll have some news on those as well). Will they be 3DS, Wii U, or a mix of the two, you ask? You’ll have to tune in from now until June 10th to find out! 😀
I originally thought that Natsume would be announcing a localization for the latest Harvest Moon 3DS game, but as we know, XSEED ended up with the publishing rights. It’ll be interesting to see what’s announced!

Saturday Morning RPG coming to the Wii U eShop
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Mighty Rabbit Studios has confirmed plans to bring Saturday Morning RPG to the Wii U. The episodic role-playing game is already available on several platforms like iOS devices, though the eShop version should offer a few unique elements.
Mighty Rabbit Studios told Nintendo Force this month that the title will include a number of Wii U-exclusive battle objects that “play entirely to the GamePad’s strengths.” The developer is tinkering around with one idea – an homage to Presto Magix – in which players “have to use the GamePad screen to rub an attack into existence.” Off-TV play is also supported.
Saturday Morning RPG should be hitting Wii U in Q4 2014. At launch, players can get their hands on the first five full episodes from the iPhone version. A sixth episode will be made available for free through a future update.
Mega Man Legends 3’s voice work “was almost completed”
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 9 Comments
Here’s a little bit of depressing news for you. Mega Man Legends 3, cancelled by Capcom back in 2011, nearly had its voice work finished.
Cup of Tea Productions was working with Capcom on the game’s voice recording portions. Interestingly enough, owner Danni Hunt told Siliconera in a recent interview that they were “almost completed.”
He said:
That was us though. It was almost completed. It was voiced. I can confirm it was almost completed.
