Alien: Isolation not planned for Wii U
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 17 Comments
SEGA revealed Alien: Isolation today, but Wii U wasn’t mentioned in the game’s announcement. It’s coming to practically every major system – PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, not to mention PC. Unfortunately, Nintendo’s console is being kept out of the mix.
On Twitter, Wii U was officially ruled out as a target platform for Alien: Isolation. A note posted on the game’s Twitter account reads:
Hey @knight_pjc. Right now, we don't have plans to put the game on Wii U, sadly.

Super Mario 3D World producer discusses lack of online play
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 17 Comments
Well before Super Mario 3D World launched, Nintendo made it clear that online play wouldn’t be included. It does feature Internet-enabled elements like ghost Miis and Miiverse support, but direct multiplayer is only available locally.
Shigeru Miyamoto previously said that online play “simply wasn’t the focus for us this time around.” He also mentioned how Nintendo wanted to make “something that people could experience fully while playing comfortably with others who were nearby them”.
Super Mario 3D World producer Yoshiaki Koizumi echoed similar thoughts while speaking with Game Informer this month. He also revealed an interesting tidbit: the staff over at EAD Tokyo have been experimenting with online play “since the days of Super Mario Galaxy”. But for Super Mario 3D World, the team decided to place the focus on gaming with others nearby.

Nintendo stock on the rise
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 5 Comments
Nintendo stock has risen by 30 percent since October, according to a report from Japanese publication Nikkei. The outlet also confirms that Nintendo increased nearly 1,000 yen (7 percent) compared to yesterday.
Why the rise in stock? That can be attributed to yen depreciation in foreign markets.
If Nintendo’s stock is to increase further, analysts say Nintendo will need to improve Wii U’s sales.

Daedalic Entertainment becomes a licensed Wii U dev
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Daedalic Entertainment has become a licensed developer for Wii U, the studio has confirmed. The team just recently received development kits and intend to experiment with them in the future.
Don’t expect to see any Daedalic-made projects on Wii U in the near future, as the company is working to capacity on other projects. Perhaps one day though…
