Activision intends to sell a lot of Skylanders products on Nintendo platforms
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
The Wii is on its way out, and the Wii U hasn’t performed up to Nintendo’s expectations. Given these two factors, MCV decided to ask Activision’s UK MD, Roy Stackhouse, about whether the publisher’s expectations for the game have been negatively impacted.
Not at all, Stackhouse said. In fact, he along with Activision as a whole “expect to sell a lot of Skylanders on the Nintendo platforms.” Stackhouse also said the company still considers Nintendo to be “a very integral part of our sales mix going forward.”
Stackhouse’s comments in full:
“Not at all. We still expect to sell a lot of Skylanders on the Nintendo platforms. Just because the sales may have softened doesn’t mean there isn’t a lot of consoles out there that children are still playing on. We still see Nintendo as a very integral part of our sales mix going forward.”

Wii Party U can be purchased from the eShop in Australia
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 4 Comments
Nintendo decided against launching Wii Party U on the eShop in North America and Europe. The situation is different Down Under, however.
Yep – Wii Party U is up on the Australian Wii U eShop. It’s been available since the game’s launch late last week, in fact.
Why is Wii Party U being distributed on the Australian eShop but not the North American and European stores? Your guess is as good as mine!

A look at the different areas in Game Center CX 3
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Game Center CX 3 will provide players with plenty of new areas to explore. You’ll be able to visit an arcade, toy shop, mom-and-pop-candy store, model kit shop, and a department store roof.
Each one of these locales offers its own events and challenges. While clearing challenges and continuing on through the story, years will pass and the city experiences various changes. In one instance, your school bans its students from going to the arcade in the mid 80s. But in the late 80s, specialty game shops will begin to appear.

Pokemon Company planning new detective game, partner with Pikachu
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment
A brand new Pokemon title has been revealed through the latest episode of NHK’s “Professional—Style of Work” program. Details are still coming in, but it’s a detective title that has players partnering with Pikachu.
The unnamed game’s total development is expected to be two years, according to The Pokemon Company president Tsunekaz Ishihara. In it, players will encounter a rare Pikachu, which is apparently the enemy players will take on, and Ishihara believes that people won’t end up liking it. Also planned for the game: a blue Pikachu and a talking Pikachu.
The new title is due out sometime in 2015.

Pokemon Trozei sequel was considered
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments
Tsunekaz Ishihara, president and CEO of The Pokemon Company, considered making a sequel to Pokemon Trozei. Ishihara revealed the news through NHK’s “Professional—Style of Work” program currently airing in Japan, but didn’t say if it’s something that’s actually in development.
Pokemon Trozei was released as a DS game several years ago. It wasn’t a traditional Pokemon title, with puzzle gameplay taking the focus.
