Kameo “was quite far along” on GameCube
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in GameCube, News | 1 Comment
Kameo: Elements of Power wasn’t always planned as an Xbox 360 title. Rare was initially making the project for the GameCube alongside the likes of Donkey Kong Racing.
In the end, Microsoft ended up purchasing Rare, and Kameo was moved to the Xbox (ultimately the Xbox 360). But you may be interested to hear that the GameCube release, while “quite a different game” on the platform, “was quite far along.”
Former Rare staffer Phil Tossell said on Twitter:
@GoldMetalSonic It was quite a different game on GC to what it ended up as. But it was quite far along.

GameStop Italy, GameStop US say Watch Dogs Wii U cancellations were due to an error
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 4 Comments
And so the Watch Dogs Wii U cancellation saga has, thankfully, come to an end. GameStop Italy and GameStop US say that the whole situation of pre-orders being removed was due to an error in its system. The game can be reserved once again for Wii U, and there shouldn’t be any confusion from here on out. I have no idea why Ubisoft didn’t just come out and say that the game was in the works from the get-go, but at least we finally have an answer!

GameStop US gets in on the Watch Dogs Wii U pre-order cancellations
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 4 Comments
GameStop Italy recently began cancelling pre-orders of Watch Dogs on Wii U, sparking speculation that Ubisoft had canned the game on Nintendo’s console. Now Kotaku reports that GameStop US is getting in on the act as well.
With Ubisoft being cagey when it comes to providing a comment about the situation, the future of Watch Dogs’ Wii U version is beginning to look a bit dire. There’s still a possibility that this is all just a misunderstanding, but it’d certainly help if the publisher were to clear things up.
