Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 15 Comments
Watch Dogs will be available on most platforms later this month – except for Wii U. Ubisoft hopes to ship the Nintendo version of the game later this year.
While speaking with Red Bull Games, Watch Dogs creative director Jonathan Morin shared a new status update about the Wii U version of the game. He told the site that Ubisoft is now “fully focused” on finishing the project and the company is “making sure it gets the attention it deserves to make it the best version it can be.”
Morin’s comments in full:
“Right now [the Wii U version is] currently being done, but I’m not directly involved. We wanted to finish all the platforms that we are currently shipping. We needed those guys to get [the shipping versions] finished, and the good news now is that they’re all fully focused on the Wii U version, making sure it gets the attention it deserves to make it the best version it can be.”

Nintendo patent shows portable system with interchangable controls
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 35 Comments
Last October, Nintendo filed a patent in the US featuring a portable system with interchangeable controls. The patent was just published today.
Essentially, Nintendo’s idea would allow users to come up with their own configurations for controls. You could, for example, swap out the d-pad with something else. Need an extra analog stick? That’d be possible as well – you’d be able to add a new one in by exchanging a different part of the system.
You can get a better idea of the patent by checking out the filing here. It’s probably clearer than my explanation!

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–When you see two round objects rolling your way, don’t be alarmed: They’re probably just a harmless golf ball and a familiar pink puffball. On May 2, the Mario Golf: World Tour and Kirby: Triple Deluxe games are launching in stores and in the Nintendo eShop on the Nintendo 3DS family of systems. It’s a double dose of Nintendo! Both games are the next installments in their respective franchises and the first of their series on Nintendo 3DS. Both games also feature some of the most loved and iconic characters in the Nintendo universe. And, best of all, both games are ridiculously fun.
“May 2 is going to be an outstanding day for Nintendo 3DS owners,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “Mario Golf: World Tour and Kirby: Triple Deluxe add two exclusive Nintendo experiences to the already-incredible library of software found only on Nintendo 3DS.”
