Excellent Super Smash Bros. Wii U/Brawl comparisons

These are probably some of the best comparisons we have of the new Smash Bros. and Brawl. Kirby is actually completely round on Wii U!

Pencil Test Studios now an official Wii U developer
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Pencil Test Studios has become an official Wii U developer, the company has announced on Facebook. It was reported yesterday that Nintendo of America had expressed interest in the developer’s title, Armikrog.
Pencil Test’s Facebook message reads:
“We’re getting some love from Nintendo… Pencil Test Studios is now a licensed Wii U developer.”
Armikrog probably won’t make its Kickstarter target of $900,000. Only four days remain and a little less than $300,000 will need to be raised before then. Still, with Pencil Test now having a Wii U dev kit, perhaps there’s a chance of Armikrog coming to the eShop regardless.
Soul Saga will come to Wii U if Kickstarter stretch goal is hit
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Disastercake’s RPG, “Soul Saga”, has a chance of landing on Wii U. The game will head to the eShop if a $105,000 stretch goal is reached on Kickstarter.
Mike from Disastercake already has a few ideas in mind as to what the team could do on Wii U:
I’m not exactly positive how I will deal with it exactly yet, but I think I will be adding a lot of the GUI (graphical user interface) on the Wii U controller, clearing up the space on the TV to look more like a movie. I think it’s great to have lots of screen real estate, and game designers have been struggling to find ways to get the GUI out of the way of the pretty graphics for a long time.
[In the game] the player has a Steampunk styled smart phone for communicating with other people in the game world, so that menu GUI would be able to find a good place on the controller. So if the player gets a text message while roaming the world, the Wii U GamePad will start to vibrate and make a noise. Or, if the player has an incoming call it will also vibrate and ring and display the caller’s portrait on the GamePad like it was a smart phone. The player can then answer the phone to initiate the conversation, or just hang up on them if they want to dodge that call.
More information about Soul Saga can be found on the Kickstarter page here. At present, the title is roughly $35,000 funded. Disastercake is looking to reach $60,000 within the next 22 days.
Thanks to Ken P for the tip.
Japanese Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D sales comparable to the original
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii | 0 comments
Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D is selling about as well as the original Wii game did in Japan.
Data obtained by Media Create puts the title at 104,569 units sold in its first week. To compare, Donkey Kong Country Returns sold 163,310 copies in its first week on Wii.
Sell-through rates for both versions are very, very similar. Donkey Kong Country Returns originally sold through 56.63% of its shipment while a rate of 54.34% was achieved on Wii.
That should mean Nintendo initially shipped 288,380 copies of the original Donkey Kong Country Returns. On the other hand, 192,434 copies were probably shipped for Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D.

G-Style is cooking up a new downloadable title for the 3DS eShop known as “Zombie Bowling”. It’s due out in Japan next month. An overseas release hasn’t been announced, but there’s a decent chance that Zombie Bowling will also come to North America and Europe.
