90’s Arcade Racer dev teases Wii U version

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

90’s Arcade Racer was never a sure-thing for Wii U, but creator Pelikan13 had shown interest in the possibility. Today, Pelikan13 posted a new update on the official Kickstarter page that strongly hints at a version for Nintendo’s console.

The message reads:

“Since the project went live there have been some very exciting developments that I can’t talk about yet but the game could be heading for the TV. This is not a one person project anymore and I hope U Wiil stay tuned for more news.”

Take a look at that last sentence – specifically “U Wiil”. Get rid of the “l” and switch “U” and “Wii”. What do you have? Wii U!

“DSU” concept imagines hardware to play 3DS games on Wii U

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Random, Wii U | 2 Comments

Nintendo will probably never allow Wii U owners to play 3DS games on their televisions (or GamePads). But that doesn’t mean we can’t imagine the possibility!

Dave Delisle created a “DSU” concept that would permit users to plug a 3DS game into a small box, which is in turn connected to a Wii U. The hardware would beam the the 3DS’ top screen to a TV and the bottom screen to the GamePad. Of course, you’d lose the 3D effect.

This isn’t real. But it’s kind of neat. It may remind you of that lovely Game Boy Player for GameCube!

Gunman Clive creator’s next game will be on 3DS, no Wii U plans currently

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U, Wii U eShop | 0 comments

The creator of Gunman Clive has plans to release his next game on the 3DS. According to Bertil Hörberg, he will “definitely” be returning to the system and the project “will focus on the 3DS from the start”. Hörberg may consider porting the game to other platforms down the line.

Don’t count on any Wii U games from Hörberg for now. While Hörberg acknowledged that Wii U development would be “fun”, the 3DS is “quite enough to handle at the moment”.

XSEED on its Wii support, Pandora’s Tower sales expectations, no Retro Game Challenge 2 for the eShop, more

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Podcast Stories, Wii | 0 comments

XSEED VP Ken Berry opened up on a number of interesting topics in an interview with Digital Trends. Berry discussed its support of Wii, its “deal” with Nintendo for The Last Story, the company’s sales expectations for Pandora’s Tower, and Retro Game Challenge 2 localization.

Sadly, XSEED has no plans to localize the DS title – nor will it consider an eShop release. The first game “was an incredibly expensive project”, but it didn’t sell well at all. As a result, XSEED can’t take a similar risk with Retro Game Challenge 2.

Head past the break to read up on all of Berry’s commentary.
