#Nindies Summer Jam to be hosted during September
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 6 Comments
The “Nindie” community is working together to highlight new eShop games across Wii U and 3DS over the next several weeks. High-profile titles will be discounted in North America by 10 percent during the first week of launch, and developers will share video stories about their projects development in the eShop. On top of that, these developers will curate a shelf in eShop which features some of their favorite games. All of this is formed as part of “#Nindies Summer Jam”.
Here’s a look at the release schedule:
Sept. 1
Axiom Verge from Thomas Happ Games – In this retro-style action-platform-exploration game, use the Wii U GamePad as your map, a way to easily swap between weapons or for Off-TV Play. A failed scientist dies in an accident, only to awaken in a mysterious, alien world. Where is he? How did he get here? And why do the fundamental laws of reality appear broken? Life. Afterlife. Real. Virtual. Dream. Nightmare. It’s a thin line. It’s Axiom Verge. Available on Wii U.

Update 2: Yet another Street Fighter game is launching tomorrow: Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers. Here’s the official description:
“When Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers debuted, the fighting game genre would be forever changed.

In addition to the classic characters, players take control of four brand new characters in exciting head-to-head fighting game play! Choose T. Hawk and his unmatched strength to crush your opponents. Use Deejay’s unrivaled kickboxing ability to defeat your opponents. Fight with the furious kung fu of Fei Long and unleash your inner dragon. Drill your rivals with the deadly beauty of Cammy and emerge victorious. Get ready for the Street Fighter Tournament and to fight!”
Update: Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting is also coming tomorrow for $7.99. Here’s an overview:
“Street Fighter II defined gaming in the 1990s by revolutionizing the fighting game genre. Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting, regarded as one of the greatest games of all time, was the third and final release of the original Street Fighter II series. The original eight world warriors are featured, along with playable boss characters Balrog, Sagat, and M. Bison. The game offered enhanced gameplay speed and improved character balancing.”
Capcom is bringing another game to the North American New 3DS Virtual Console this week. As of tomorrow, Street Fighter Alpha 2 will be available.
Nintendo’s website has the following overview:
“Street Fighter Alpha 2 explodes on-screen with lightning-fast gameplay and amazing innovations. Quick Move Reversals, Alpha Counters and the incredible Custom Combo System create a new standard for all games to fight by. Push your talents to the limit as you discover new hidden moves and reversals for every character. Neutralize opponent’s attacks with high and low Alpha Counters and execute incredible Custom Combos to create your own rapid-fire assault of attacks. All your favorite warriors are back for more! Previously hidden characters Dan, Akuma, and Bison are joined by five new fighters: Rolento, Gen, Sakura, and classic favorites Dhalsim and Zangief.”

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice DLC will be released overseas
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 1 Comment
The eShop listing for Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice is now live in North America. On it, something is confirmed that we were all more or less counting on.
In one of the screenshots, the English menu is shown confirming Spirit of Justice’s DLC for the west. It’s right there when you start the game under “Extras and DLC”. There really was no reason to think that North America and Europe wouldn’t have the same access as Japan given how Capcom handled the series’ last release, Dual Destinies. Still, there you go.
As for what you can look forward to, the big addition in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice was the extra “Turnabout Across Time” case. Capcom also created costumes for Phoenix Wright, Apollo Justice, and Athena Cykes plus a couple of brief non-canon stories that mainly featured the former two characters.
Axiom Verge team “would love” to have the game on 3DS, still a technical challenge
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 5 Comments
At E3, Axiom Verge creator Tom Happ said he was looking into a potential 3DS port. That’s something which still hasn’t been ruled out, but technical challenges could prevent it from happening.
Dan Adelman, who has worked with Happ, was asked by Nintendo World Report for another update on Axiom Verge possibly coming to 3DS at Gamescom last week. Here’s the latest on that front:
“We would love to, but we’re looking into the technical feasibility. Even though the graphics/artstyle is very retro-looking, there’s actually a lot that’s technically going on under the hood. It’s always funny when people look at it and say ‘Oh, you could run that on the NES’, and I laugh because there’s no way you could run that on a NES. It really pushes the Wii U hardware. We’re investigating what it would take to bring it to the 3DS. We probably wouldn’t be able to, if we were able to do it at all, there would have to be some compromises made. We don’t know what those compromises would be, and if it’s not going to be a great experience we don’t want to do it. We’re looking into it now, if I had a magic wand and could make it play perfectly on the 3DS, absolutely we’d love to do it.”
Axiom Verge is coming to Wii U on September 1. According to Happ, it’ll be the game’s best version.
