You already saw snippets of this interview in the Road Redemption preview we put up earlier today, but in case you wanted to hear more about the subjects I touched on there, or a few other Nintendo-specific topics, I’m posting the full interview in straightforward question-and-answer form below.

The developer of Road Redemption (DarkSeas Games) talked with me about developing the game, what sorts of modes might be included, and the possibility of downloadable content, but they also touched on some more general subjects like the future of Nintendo and the Wii U, as well as how they believe Nintendo could kickstart sales of the system. Hit the break for the full interview!

High-octane, arcade-style combat racing: Coming to Wii U in 2014.

Author: Austin

Amidst the flurry of charming and pleasant indie titles making their way to the Wii U eShop as an effect of Nintendo’s strong interest in the independent community, one game exists that brands itself neither charming nor pleasant: The high speed brawler Road Redemption is based off of a 1991-1999 video game series called “Road Rash”, and it’s coming to PC, Mac, Linux, and Wii U in the second half of 2014. But what’s the game actually about?

Well. That sounds pretty awesome.

Lots of requests for this one, so I tackle two (somewhat) simpler glitches, and one you may have heard of! Gotta start someone in a game that has about a thousand of them to get through after all.

A few worthwhile deals are running on Amazon at the moment.

New Super Mario Bros. U is also on sale for $39.99. Get ready for the New Super Luigi content by tackling the “original” Wii U game.

Last but not least, you can grab Call of Duty: Black Ops II for $29.99. Activision’s first-person shooter was initially priced at $60, so you’ll be saving $30.

Coaster Creator 3D developer Big John Games is bringing Big Bass Arcade: No Limit to the 3DS eShop. Originally planned for a retail release on Wii, the game has now been converted into a digital product for Nintendo’s handheld.

Big John Games already completed the porting process. It’s now being tested by Nintendo.

Big Bass Arcade includes ten lakes, forty tournaments and challenges, seven fish species, ten lures, and a record tracking system. The 3DS’ touch screen or button inputs can be used to reel in a fish.
