Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 1 Comment
Adventure Time: Explore the Dungeon Because I DON’T KNOW! will include multiplayer – it just won’t be online.
Kotaku has confirmed that the new game from WayForward won’t allow players to experience any dungeon-crawling elements over the Internet. Instead, you’ll have to settle for the local four-player co-op option.

How Sonic Lost World became a Nintendo exclusive
Posted on 11 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.”

Rodea: The Sky Soldier still in the works
Posted on 11 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.

Amazon Canada lists black 3DS XL for August 11 release
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
The black 3DS XL could be out in just a few weeks in North America, if a new retailer listing is to be believed.
Amazon Canada has listed the system variation on its website. According to a product listing, the black 3DS XL will be out on August 11.
Nintendo has yet to officially announce the black 3DS XL for North America, but it has already appeared in a commercial for Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. The company should say something before August 11, assuming Amazon’s data is spot on.
