GungHo working on a Wii U RPG?
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii U | 1 Comment
Could GungHo Online Entertainment be making a game for Wii U? An official E3 page that lets users search for product categories lists the Puzzle & Dragons Z creator under the Wii U/RPG category. This seems like an interesting find, though I’d take it with a grain of salt given the possibility of an inaccurate listing.

Philips asking for damages and Wii U sales ban over patent infringements
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 34 Comments
Philips has filed a suit against Nintendo in relation to two patents.
In the case of the first one, Philips believes that Nintendo has potentially infringed upon it deliberately. Philips claims Nintendo is aware of the patent, but has not been willing to take a license and continued violating it. This patent mentions that the technology can be used in conjunction with games.
We’re also hearing that the second patent mentions a wireless device that can be controlled via a secondary device through motion input.
Philips is ultimately seeking damages and a Wii U sales ban.
Here’s an excerpt from Philips’ filing:

Take-Two: Nintendo still an “important business partner”
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 7 Comments
In a wide-ranging interview with GamesIndustry, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick discussed the company’s current stance when it comes to Nintendo. Zelnick did say that the company still considers Nintendo to be an “important business partner,” though “we haven’t talked much about it and have nothing announced at the moment.”
Take-Two and its subsidiaries have backed away from Nintendo platforms in recent years. For instance, the company’s only Wii U-related release was the launch title NBA 2K13 through its 2K Sports division.

I’ve Got to Run! – trailer, European release info, DLC and Miiverse details
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
4 Corner Games has shared the official trailer for I’ve Got to Run!, which is coming soon to the Wii U eShop. We’ve posted it above – note the disclaimer.
As mentioned previously, I’ve Got to Run! is on track to launch next month in North America. A final release date should be coming very, very soon.
I’ve Got to Run will be heading to Europe in Q3 for the price of USD $2 converted, plus respective VAT. 4 Corner Games will bring its indie title to Germany as well, but the launch will come after the PEGI regions. I’ve Got to Run! will not be available in Russia, New Zealand, Australia, or Japan.
As a gift to expert platform fans, I’ve Got to Run! will be receiving the challenging “Endless Expert” DLC. Players will find that the mode offers faster action – and only a single jump. Expect more information about Endless Expert and other extra modes after launch.
One last piece of news: I’ve Got to Run! will feature three different Miiverse communities – the General Community (for all), Announcement Community (for developer updates), and the High Scores community (viewable by all, can only be posted in by players). The latter community is a place where players can post screenshots of their high scores, and it features a unique “New Record!” tag that can be used when a player is proud of their new high score.
