According to the latest issue of Famitsu, there’s some sort of new Taiko no Tatsujin in the works for the 3DS. This is probably what that teaser site was all about.

I don’t have specifics on it yet, but I’m sure more details will surface soon. All I can tell you at this point is that it’s coming out in Japan on July 12 for 5,040 yen.

Goichi Suda probably isn’t making a Wii U game right now. That’s because he still doesn’t have a development kit.

As far as whether or not he’s looking to get ahold of one, Suda 51 said:

“It’s hard to say. Maybe, maybe not. It’s really depending on publishers. We are developers, so it’s up to a publisher.”

It feels like it was ages ago when Suda 51 first said he’d like to make No More Heroes for Nintendo’s next console. As we now know, that’s the Wii U. But without a dev kit, he won’t be able to make No More Heroes 3…

And with that, the trifecta of Wii RPGs is complete.

A glimpse of Bomb Monkey footage

That’s probably even less than a glimpse. The camera is placed preeeeeetty far away. I’m sure Renegade Kid will give us a trailer soon enough though.

Resident Evil 6 “will not be available at this time on the Wii U”

Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments

Resident Evil 6 isn’t coming to Wii U. For now, at least.

Producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi told IGN that the game “will not be available at this time on the Wii U.”

He said:

“Unfortunately, RE6 will not be available at this time on the Wii U. Right now we’re concentrating on the PlayStation 3 version, 360 version and the PC version of the game.”

Kobayashi didn’t rule out a Wii U version completely. Technically we could still see the game on the platform at some point…
