Axiom Verge creator on taking advantage of the GamePad
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Axiom Verge will finally be launching on Wii U this summer. There will be some GamePad integration, which creator Tom Happ touched on while speaking with Nintendo Life.
Happ told the site:
It was kind of a no-brainer with this sort of game – exploration and item acquisition are the main things you want the player to be focused on. I think anyone who’s ever played a “metroidvania” has felt some frustration at trying to reconcile the tiny minimap with what they’re seeing on the big map in the menu, having to always switch back and forth – this ameliorates that a lot, plus in Axiom Verge’s case, the huge amount of weapons you normally have to scroll through in an item wheel. There’d probably be an uprising if I used that secondary screen for anything else.

Jotun: Valhalla Edition dev on GamePad integration
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Jotun: Valhalla Edition will be debuting on new platforms this summer. On Wii U, the team has come up with some new GamePad integration.
Here’s the lowdown from creative director Will Dubé:
We definitely wanted to do something unique for Nintendo gamers. Having previously worked in mobile games, I knew that having touch pad integration would be a really fun addition. The God Powers lent themselves very naturally to that idea. Also, on the left side of the GamePad screen we were able to add the map. This lets the player glance down and stay in the game flow without having to constantly pause the game to find out where she is. We’re really happy with how the Wii U GamePad features turned out and can’t wait to share with Nintendo fans around the world!
DrinkBox talks about cross-buy with Severed
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 8 Comments
With Nintendo’s indie push on YouTube’s E3 live stream, Severed was revealed for Wii U and 3DS. We learned that the game is coming this summer on the eShop, and cross-buy will be supported.
Graham Smith, DrinkBox co-founder and producer, indicated that setting up cross-buy for Severed will be relatively simple. Not much work is required, and Nintendo has been “very helpful” with the whole process.
According to Smith:
Nintendo was very helpful when it came to supporting cross-buy for Severed, and we didn’t actually have to do much on our end to support the feature. All that is required is that the purchaser be signed in with their Nintendo Network ID (NNID) when buying Severed. As long as they do this, they will be able to download Severed to their other device(s) when signed in with that same NNID.
