Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Sguerra Design’s title Drible Button Football might be coming to Wii U. The game has only been announced for mobile devices thus far, but it’s been rated for Nintendo’s console (as well as PS4, Xbox One, PS Vita, PC, and Mac) in Brazil. We’ll see how things develop.
Europe getting Bayonetta 1 disc with Bayonetta 2 retail release?
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii U | 7 Comments
There’s been a bit of confusion surrounding how Nintendo will be distributing Bayonetta 1 when Bayonetta 2 releases. We initially heard that this offer would only be available with retail copies in the states, though it was later clarified that the eShop release is also included.
And yesterday, Nintendo revealed that Bayonetta 2 would indeed ship with a separate disc in Japan. This seems to be the case in Europe as well.
Check out this excerpt from Amazon UK’s Bayonetta 2 listing:
Bayonetta comes packed in with the purchase of every retail packaged version of Bayonetta 2.
At this point, I have no clue what’s happening. Hopefully Nintendo will make things absolutely clear soon.

Word on the street is that Splatoon will include voice chat functionality. That information apparently comes from a Nintendo representative, but hasn’t been officially confirmed just yet. Still encouraging to hear in any case!

Rumor: Canada not getting Pokemon Omega Ruby / Alpha Sapphire with the US release
Posted on 10 years ago by Jarop(@gamrah) in 3DS, News, Rumors | 7 Comments
A user over on NeoGAF has noticed some obscure wording in a couple of the press releases for the upcoming Pokemon titles pertaining to the release of the game in the United States and Canada. The Canadian ORAS site has a listing of November 2014 vs. the US site which has a concrete November 21st release. Additionally, many of the press releases regarding the release have specified that release date is coming to the United States against the usual inclusion of the region. Check out the posts below and let us know what you think:

In the press releases I’ve got, they have rather emphasised the date as being for the US
Tuesdays:
E3 has begun and The Pokémon Company International just announced that Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, which both take place in the beautiful Hoenn region, are launching in the United States on November 21, 2014.
Wednesdays:
Sableye is a Pokémon that was first discovered in the Hoenn region, which is now confirmed as the location for Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, both launching for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems in the United States on November 21, 2014.
Todays:
The Pokémon Company International and Nintendo announced more details today about the new Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire video games, launching in the United States November 21, 2014, for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems.
Many people thought this was an error, but my friend at PLDH got this response from TPCi earlier today
So it’s worrying. It appears Canada and Europe are excluded from the worldwide launch.
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare has an E3 listing for Wii U
Posted on 10 years ago by Jarop(@gamrah) in News, Rumors, Wii U | 3 Comments
For those worried about the state of Call of Duty on Nintendo platforms, it seems Sledgehammer is looking to bring the latest iteration to Wii U, at least according to their E3 listing. The series’ has never done well on Nintendo hardware traditionally but this move shows that it appears to still be a viable move for whatever reason. We will know if this rumor holds true when E3 rolls around.
Oxygen Media astroturfing Fit Music for Wii U on Miiverse?
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii U eShop | 10 Comments
Fit Music for Wii U arrived on the North American Wii U eShop this Thursday. Unfortunately, it’s not very good.
Oxygen Media might be making things worse for themselves by astroturfing on Miiverse. At this point, many believe that the company is promoting Fit Music for Wii U in a secretive way and trying to marketing the game virally.
Check out the above comment for example. That comes from Mario Spiniello… who just so happens to be “a multimedia specialist” for Oxygen Media. There are sadly plenty of similar comments like this, most of which come from Italy – where the company is based.
I can’t see this ending well!

Rumor: Super Smash Bros. for Wii U to include NFC functionality
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii U | 11 Comments
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U might be incorporating NFC functionality, new comments from Nintendo France general director Stephan Bole suggest. Bole told Le Figaro in an interview, “The NFC will be used in the Wii U version of Super Smash Bros.” While the interview is certainly trustworthy, we’ll need an official announcement before we can say this is confirmed.

Update: Guess – ONM Spain claims Super Smash Bros. for 3DS is launching in September
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Rumors | 4 Comments
Update: Essentially confirmed to be a guess.
En la Revista Oficial Nintendo 261 aparece septiembre como fecha de Smash Bros. 3DS, pero se referían a verano, que es la fecha oficial.
— Hobby Consolas (@Hobby_Consolas) May 19, 2014
The latest issue of Spain’s Official Nintendo Magazine claims that Super Smash Bros. for 3DS will arrive in September. I’ll be perfectly honest with you: that release month is completely possible, but I doubt ONM has any sort of insider information. Unfortunately, magazines often list their own guess.
Rumor: One Piece: Unlimited World Red for Wii U getting “Day 1 Edition” content in North America
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii U | 2 Comments
Bandai Namco is releasing One Piece: Unlimited World Red in North America as a retail product on all platforms but Wii U. Despite this, it sounds like Wii U will be receiving the “Day 1 Edition” content, which includes original costumes and a new quest.
Bandai Namco told fans on Twitter last week:
@pacificoalumno Yes. While supplies last at launch!
— Bandai Namco Games (@BandaiNamcoUS) May 14, 2014
@ZackRangeFilms Yes – We don't have all the details yet, but it will be available.

Could this be a sign that Bandai Namco is planning some sort of retail release for Unlimited World Red in North America after all? Maybe as a limited run?
