Q-Games not working on any 3DS games, Cuthbert on what Nintendo needs to do with Wii U
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 0 comments
Q-Games is the developer behind Star Fox Command as well as Star Fox 64 3D. You may also know of the studio for the DSiWare games it created, including Starship Defence.
Unfortunately, we won’t be seeing any of Q-Games on the 3DS “in the immediate future”. President Dylan Cuthbert told Siliconera:
“Not at the moment because we’ve got quite a lot of projects currently on the boil, that kind of thing. We’re a bit busy, so there won’t be any 3DS in the immediate future, at least.”
Cuthbert also gave his own opinion as to what Nintendo needs to do with the Wii U in both Japan and the west:
“I think software. If they are going to win they are going to have to figure out the games. They probably need like new super IP, a special IP that makes people really interested. But they always come up with something. They are always very innovative. Even with the DS when it first came out people said that’s not very good and it’s not going to do very well, but it sold hundreds of millions and had lots of innovative titles. I think they will find something that will sell a lot. Who would have known Wii Fit would have sold like 15 million units?”

Watch Dogs multiplayer will have “player invasion” elements, smartphone app detailed
Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
The multiplayer in Ubisoft’s upcoming game Watch Dogs will have elements of a game mechanic called “player invasion”, which means that players that aren’t explicitly in your game can come in and modify certain parameters or change small environmental obstacles seemingly without you ever seeing them. It’s something implemented into the game Dark Souls, but we’re unsure if Watch Dogs‘ version of the idea will be more in line with that adventure or if it will be something completely different.
On top of that, the game’s producer outlined the concept behind a smartphone app that will be coming out alongside the game this fall. If you’ve seen gameplay footage of Watch Dogs, you’ll know that the main character uses his smartphone to hack into city systems, ATMs, and much more. The smartphone app will allow players to “hack” into multiplayer games of Watch Dogs on the fly, presumably to modify in-game parameters similar to what you might do in the single player experience. I think that’s pretty dang awesome!
Capcom opens blood-colored ‘RE: Revelations’ swimming pool in London, prizes at the bottom
Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 0 comments
Want to get free Resident Evil: Revelations HD-related merchandise? Head over to London where Capcom has opened up what they’re calling the first ever blood-filled swimming pool. Of course, it isn’t actually filled with blood: It’s just a lot of water, a lot of red colouring, and floaties shapes like bodies and human entrails and things. You know, normal stuff.
Here’s the run-down:
– Open May 25th and 26th
– In Jupiter Wharf, London E3 2PL
– Ages 16 and older, with under 18 needed adult accompaniment
– Only 100 people allowed in each day, free tickets online
– Free prizes at the bottom of the pool for those “brave enough” to go down there
– PR statement: “Capcom are thrilled to able to create the world’s first blood swimming pool. Zombies have been kept very busy lately doing a variety of PR stunts, so rather than do the expected, we wanted to give them some time off for canal side relaxation in London. To non-zombies, the swimming pool will be shocking, gory and an incredibly disturbing experience – the perfect way to show that survival horror is back with a bang for Resident Evil Revelations”
