2K Sports apparently confirms no WWE 2K14 for Wii U

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Podcast Stories, Rumors, Wii U | 1 Comment

A portion of a Eurogamer article seems to confirm that WWE 2K14 won’t be heading to the Wii U.

2K Sports told the site that the wrestling game will be launching on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, but “the game will again skip Wii U” – just like WWE ’13.

Eurogamer’s Wii U comment comes after the PS3/360 remark, so it’s not entirely clear if 2K Sports made an exact confirmation about the status of WWE 2K14 for Nintendo’s console (and we’re waiting for Take-Two/2K to come out and provide an official statement). Still, it’s not looking good, folks.

Ubisoft working on ZombiU 2 prototype

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments

Ubisoft says it is working on a ZombiU prototype. That’s according to creative director Jean-Philippe Caro, who contributed to the original Wii U game.

Caro tweeted over the weekend:

@kingrex32 thank you for your interest in zombiu. The team is working hard on a prototype. it´s too soon to tell you more.
— Jean-Philippe Caro (@Bignozjip) May 11, 2013

While a prototype may be in the works, it doesn’t necessarily guarantee a sequel. Prototypes can come and go, but unless the higher-ups at Ubisoft give the green light, it won’t enter development.

Capcom explains decision behind digital-only release of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies in the west

Ace Attorney 5 will be launching in Japan as a retail product. In the west, where the game is known as “Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies”, Capcom has opted to make the game available only through the 3DS eShop.

Following today’s announcement, we asked Capcom about the decision to bring Dual Destinies to North America and Europe as a digital title. The company explained that it “wanted as many people as possible to be able to enjoy the game for as long as possible.” While Capcom does “understand that this decision may upset fans who wanted to have a physical version of the title to add to their collection”, it feels that “this direction is the best to take to ensure that fans are able to enjoy the game at their own leisure.”

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments

How much did Injustice: Gods Among Us sell in the US last month? We won’t know until Thursday when the NPD Group publishes its latest data, but research firm Cowen & Company has offered an estimate of its own.

Injustice: Gods Among Us moved roughly 424,000 units across the US in April, the company reports. Cowen & Company has reason to believe that Injustice was the only game to sell over 250,000 units. The breakdown of sales between the release platforms is unknown, but we should get a better idea on Thursday.

“Shaqfighter” trademarks filed

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Podcast Stories | 0 comments

EA came out with a fighter for the likes of the SNES and SEGA Genesis based on the NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal way back in 1994. Nearly two decades later, could a follow-up of sorts be in the works?

Siliconera has come across a series of new trademarks known as “Shaqfighter” filed by the same company that runs “Shaq.com”. The items are related to video games, online games, computer game software, and action skill games.

It isn’t immediately clear what these trademarks could/will be used for, but it would be pretty amazing to see another Shaq fighter after all this time.
