2K Sports confirms no NBA 2K14 for Wii U
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
Would you look at that… yet another sports title will be skipping Wii U.
2K Sports confirmed to GameSpot that NBA 2K14 will not be available on the platform. Senior vice president of sports operations Jason Argent explained that the company “didn’t want to take resources” from the other versions.
Argent said:
“We are not doing a Wii U version this year. The decision was made internally that resources would be best put toward building a really, really amazing current-generation and next-generation game and we didn’t want to take resources away from creating amazing experiences on…all those platforms.”
Are any major sports titles heading to Wii U this year? There’s no Madden, FIFA, UFC, NHL, or PES titles planned.

GameTrailers will be live-streaming E3 demonstrations and interviews on Monday and Tuesday of next week. That Tuesday will feature a “Nintendo Power Hour” at 2 PM ET / 11 PM PT. Reggie Fils-Aime and Shigeru Miyamoto will be making appearances, and the first Sonic Lost Worlds E3 demo for Wii U will be shown.
The full description reads:
“It’s the interview you’ve been waiting all E3 (well let’s be honest, ALL YEAR!) to see. Geoff Keighley sits down with REGGIE FILS-AIME for an in-depth two part interview about the state of Nintendo. Will Reggie yell at Geoff again or will he check all the boxes and leave the competition in the dust? Find out live! Plus, the legend himself SHIGERU MIYAMOTO joins Geoff as well for a special chat about what’s new at Nintendo. Finally our friends from MEGA64 join us to discuss their thoughts on E3 so far and we show the first E3 demo of SONIC LOST WORLDS for the Wii-U.”
Natsume won’t be localizing Medabots 7
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Medabots 7 came out in Japan close to a year ago – September, specifically. Now that we’re in June of 2013, time is running out for the game’s possible localization.
You can probably write off a western release of Medabots 7 at this point. When the 3DS game was mentioned on Natsume’s Facebook page, the company said that it “doesn’t look like Medabots 7 is in the cards.” Although, Natsume gave a small glimmer of hope for the localization of a future Medabots title by saying: “Hopefully maybe the next one.”

Renegade Kid “eager to explore 3D games for the Wii U”
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Additional Wii U titles could be in Renegade Kid’s future – and perhaps one of them will be a 3D game.
In an interview with Nintendo Life, co-founder Jools Watsham made note of the fact that the studio is “eager to explore 3D games for the Wii U”. The team is “currently looking into the Unity engine for that.”
When asked about future Wii U support, Watsham said:
“Well, we now have a snazzy 2D platformer engine for the Wii U that we’ll certainly be taking advantage of in the future. We’re also eager to explore 3D games for the Wii U and are currently looking into the Unity engine for that.”
