Watch Dogs team added “a bit of additional content” following delay
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 9 Comments
Watch Dogs has received an updated rating from the OFLC. In Australia, the game has been upgraded to R18+ after earning a MA15+ classification last year.
VG247 reached out to Ubisoft about the new rating, and was told in turn that Watch Dogs’ delay “allowed the team to include a bit of additional content.”
The statement reads:
“The entire development team has been working hard to polish and fine tune Watch Dogs in order to deliver a truly memorable open world game. In parallel, the extra time also allowed the team to include a bit of additional content.
“As per Australian classification guidelines, Ubisoft resubmitted the updated version with the added content to the Australian Classification Board (ACB). The decision to amend the rating of the game from MA15+ to R18+ was made by the ACB.”

WaterMelon once again says Pier Solar HD could hit 3DS, Wii U tidbits
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
WaterMelon has reiterated that Pier Solar HD is a possibility for 3DS.
Company president Tulio Adriano Cardoso Gonçalves told RedBull UK:
“We’d like to have supported more platforms at the launch, but we had to draw a line at certain point so that we didn’t lose our focus. Still, there’s a lot of demand for handhelds such as 3DS and PS Vita, so we’ll assess those after the game is launched on the main platforms.”
A few tidbits about the Wii U version of Pier Solar HD have been divulged as well. As far as how the GamePad is being taken advantage of, Gonçalves said:
“On the Wii U you can either use the GamePad as a mirror screen for off-TV play, or as a fully-interactive second screen that will allow you to perform many operations related to your inventory, spells and other new functions new to Pier Solar HD.”

Koji Igarashi leaves Konami, starting new studio
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 5 Comments
Well-known Castlevania producer Koji Igarashi has left Konami. His final day with the company was on March 15.
Following his departure from Konami, Igarashi now intends to open a new development studio.
Igarashi told IGN:
“I’ve decided to break out on my own to have the freedom to make the kind of games I really want to make — the same kind I think fans of my past games want as well. Leaving Konami was a big decision, and not one I took lightly – I’ve spent my entire career there, made many friends, and had a lot of great opportunities – but I hope all the gamers and fans who have supported me in the past will join me in being excited about what comes next. Wish me luck!”
Igarashi played a role in many of Konami’s Castlevania titles, starting with Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. He last produced Harmony of Despair.
