Nintendo UK on Wii U stock, price, no plans for a price cut, targeting the core at launch, more
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 0 comments
Nintendo UK executives James Honeywell and Shelly Pearce were in attendance for the Wii U’s launch last night. Of course, the event wouldn’t have been complete without a few interview questions!
Eurogamer spoke with the Honeywell and Pearce just before the console’s official release in the UK. The two commented on Wii U stock, the system’s price, potential confusion that using the Wii’s brand could bring, concerns about a possible price cut in the near future, and targeting the core audience at launch. There’s even some talk about the 3DS as well.
Check out the full Q&A below.
[Review] Liberation Maiden
Posted on 12 years ago by Patrick(@Patricklous) in 3DS, 3DS eShop, Podcast Stories, Reviews | 0 comments
Suda51 delivers a well-produced mecha anime that’s as hyperactive as it is hyper-nationalistic. But how’s the actual game?
Author: Patrick
Level 5 really haven’t been having a whole lot of luck when it comes to the 3DS. Professor Layton and Inazuma Eleven might still bring in the cash, but the company’s attempts at starting new IPs like Time Travelers and Girls RPG: Cinderella Life sold poorly. But perhaps their biggest bomb of all was Guild 01, a compilation of quirky games that sold fewer than 15,000 copies upon its first week of release despite having some well-known game designers collaborating on the project. Oddly enough, Level 5 are now giving Guild 01 a second chance by rereleasing most of the games in the compilation through the 3DS eShop. The first of these titles to be available outside of Japan is Liberation Maiden, a 3D shooter heavily inspired by Japanese cartoons – specifically the kind where plot is second to cool robots flying around and blowing stuff up.
