Rayman Origins 3DS can be purchased in Europe
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
As much as we love Ubisoft, some of their decisions have been baffling. Case in point: Rayman Origins 3DS.
The game was pushed back once again in North America last week, but not to improve its quality. Ubisoft was simply waiting for the right time to launch the title so that it could promote another upcoming product, Rayman Legends.
Rayman Origins’s delay only applies to the US. European consumers can actually run out and purchase the game right now.
The situation doesn’t make much sense, but it is what it is.
THQ president may not be keen on third Darksiders
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 0 comments
With THQ’s recent downturn, newly appointed president Jason Rubin is looking to shake things up within the company. One of the first changes could be made with Darksiders, which may end with its second entry.
Rubin sees Darksiders II as an “interesting” title, but he feels that he “can get that team to make other very interesting games.”
Rubin said:
“Darksiders 2 is very interesting, but I think I can get that team to make other very interesting games.”
Surely a lot hinges on the financial success of Darksiders II. The first game in the series was well-received, but it performed poorly on the market. If Darksiders II bombs, fans may have to kiss the series goodbye.
Thanks to Jake for the tip.
Ubisoft thinks Nintendo will produce 5 million Wii U systems in first 6 months
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
One of the hot topics surrounding the launches of Wii and 3DS was related to the amount of stock available. With the Wii in particular, finding a system in stores was incredibly difficult for the first few months.
Will that happen with the Wii U? It’s anybody’s guess. Keeping that in mind, there could be a significant amount of units available in the console’s first six months if new comments from Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot can be relied on.
Guillemot believes Nintendo will produce five million units during the Wii U’s first six months on the market.
He noted:
“Generally, that’s what (Nintendo) does. The number can be more, it can be less… they are always limited in the number that they can build.”

Activision-owned DemonWare involved with Wii U
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Based on a new LinkedIn profile finding, DemonWare is working with Wii U. Software engineer Jonathan Frawley listed the console as a development platform.
While that may not seem like a big deal, it’s significant because the company is owned by Activision. Some of DemonWare’s online technology has been incorporated into Call of Duty and Guitar Hero.
Maybe this is a sign of things to come… such as Black Ops II for Wii U.

Animal Crossing 3DS still in development
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
You know what’s strange? Despite the fact that Animal Crossing 3DS was given a Fall 2012 release for Japan just a couple of months ago, it didn’t make an appearance at E3 2012.
Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime didn’t have much to say about Animal Crossing at the expo last week, only confirming that it’s still in the works. Fils-Aime told Kotaku, “Animal Crossing is a game that is in development.”
Perhaps Animal Crossing 3DS won’t launch in North America until early 2013?
