With the help of developer Silverball Studios, CollegeHumor launched its first video game. The Nintendo Video-based series BearShark received an endless-runner on the 3DS eShop yesterday.

We previously heard that CollegeHumor is interested in pursuing video games further. Now, writer Kevin Corrigan has specifically mentioned Dinosaur Office as one such property that the company has ideas for.

Rumor: Mario 3D hitting Wii U by October, Nintendo gearing up for big global marketing campaign

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Podcast Stories, Rumors, Wii U | 0 comments

CVG has posted a smattering of Wii U rumors today, led by speculation that Mario’s debut 3D outing for the console will be available by October.

The site says that it has had talks “with retail chains at the executive level”. One of its sources claims that Nintendo has been intentionally holding back on some of its games such as Pikmin 3, The Wonderful 101, and Wii Fit U, so that it can come out strong in the second half of 2013. However, a separate source denies this to be the case.

EA won’t say if FIFA is coming to Wii U or not

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments

EA recently said that there are no plans to bring Madden NFL 14 to Wii U. But what of FIFA 14, which also has yet to be confirmed for the system?

When asked by Eurogamer about the company’s plans, EA Sports said:

“We are only showcasing features for X360, PS3 and PC now. News about other platforms will be revealed in the months ahead.”

Well… FIFA 14 hasn’t been ruled out for Wii U, technically. That’s at least semi-positive…

Silicon Studio president says Bravely Default began as an action-RPG, but wasn’t fun enough

Posted on 12 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in 3DS, News | 0 comments

“In the beginning, Bravely Default was an action RPG. We switched to a traditional JRPG style by selecting commands and without action. We did a prototype that was up and running. We played it and discussed with the producer if it was fun or not, and we decided to make a traditional JRPG.”

– Silicon Studio President Takehiro Terada

I bet a lot of folks out there would be happier of the game were made to be an ARPG, but ultimately the decision lies with the developer. I do wonder if the title would end up being better in the west in particular if it weren’t a traditional turn-based battler… I know I’d be more enticed to buy it!
