THQ Nordic says Darksiders Warmastered Edition hasn’t been cancelled for Wii U

Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 25 Comments

Darksiders Warmastered Edition made it out on various platforms last November. Unfortunately, the Wii U version still hasn’t launched, and publisher THQ Nordic has been keeping quiet about the situation in recent weeks.

On the bright side, Darksiders Warmastered Edition is still on track for Wii U. THQ Nordic told one fan on Twitter that it hasn’t been cancelled.

@WiiU_PRO @darksiders No, we have not.
— THQNordic (@THQNordic) February 6, 2017

THQ Nordic explained to us last year that “optimizing the game for the Wii U is still a tough task.” The team “made the call of releasing it properly and the only conclusion was to delay it.”

Rumor: Switch dev files provide new system details, images, specs

Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Switch | 59 Comments

Update: Added in details about Nintendo’s expanded online network and library called Network Extension (NEX).

Original: Earlier today, a new thread popped up in the Switch section of Reddit with very interesting information and images about Nintendo’s new hardware. Someone seemingly managed to get a hold of several files, in-development images, and new shots of Switch (when it was known as NX) revealing additional information about the system, including specs. While some of the content might be outdated, there’s no question that a good deal here is still relevant and applies to Switch’s retail version.

There are three files online at the moment. We have an NX overview, system features guide, and SDev Kit quick start document.

Reddit user dreamsomebody compiled the following information based on what’s surfaced:
