Treyarch is behind Wii U version of Call of Duty: Ghosts
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 2 Comments
Infinity Ward is handling the primary development of Call of Duty: Ghosts. However, the newly announced Wii U version is being made by an entirely different company – though one that Nintendo fans should be familiar with. As you would probably expect, Treyarch is working on the project.
This news should come as no surprise to most gamers. Treyarch was responsible for Black Ops II on Wii U last year, and the studio previously developed a majority of the Call of Duty Wii titles.

How Sonic Lost World became a Nintendo exclusive
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Screenshots, Wii U | 2 Comments
Sonic Lost World is one of three Sonic titles that will be exclusive to Nintendo platforms. But how did that exclusivity happen in the first place?
In an interview with ONM this month, Sonic Team head Takashi Iizuka explained that Sonic Lost World was originally being made on the PC “in order to see what kind of platformer we could make.” Nintendo systems were chosen “when we tried to think about which platform would be best for this game”.
Iizuka’s full quote from the magazine reads:
“The Wii U hadn’t been revealed when development began for Sonic Lost World, so we were working on a PC version in order to see what kind of platformer we could make. Then, when we tried to think about which platform would be best for this game, we chose Nintendo.”

“Organic Panic”, a new physics puzzle game from Last Limb LLC, had a shot of landing on Wii U. The developers will officially bring the game to Nintendo’s console if funds reach $40,000. While labeled a stretch goal, that figure is the target goal for the actual Kickstarter.

Rodea: The Sky Soldier still in the works
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii | 3 Comments
Update: Added in more details.
– Still coming to Wii as well
– Hasn’t been mentioned because the media lost interest
– Was originally planned for Wii only, so the controls didn’t feel right on 3DS
– Team decided to move in the direction of making a control style for 3DS
– They want the player to really have tight controls and feel the flying elements of the game with each button push
– The company wants to make a game that is going to be really enjoyed in full 360 degrees, so the producer is taking his time with the game
– 3DS version is in a “plus alpha” state
– President hopes fans are looking forward to the game
– More details in the near future
Rodea: The Sky Soldier is one of those games that had seemingly become vaporeware. Originally announced in 2011, the game has more or less been missing in action since.
Thankfully, we now have a confirmation that the game hasn’t been cancelled. Japanese publisher Kadokawa Games assured gamers in a new interview with 4Gamer that the 3DS version is still on the way and is 70% complete. The team had attempted to replicate a similar control scheme on 3DS that was planned for Wii, but they weren’t able to get things right initially.
Oddworld creator would work with Iwata “in a second”, positive Nintendo will still be around in 100 years

During an investor’s briefing Q&A several weeks ago, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata made a few remarks stating that he wouldn’t lay off staff simply to improve the company’s financial situation. Instead, Iwata is interested in making great games. This is something that has resonated well with Lorne Lanning, creator of Oddworld.
Lanning, speaking with GamesBeat in a new interview, spoke highly of Iwata as a whole. He went as far as to say that he’d “work with him in a second.” And Nintendo overall? Lanning thinks that they’ll still be here in 100 years.
Lanning said:
