Nicalis says it has “a lot” planned for Wii U, more for 3DS, will always support Nintendo
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, General Nintendo, News, Wii U eShop | 4 Comments
Late last month, Nicalis announced that it had cancelled Yatagarasu for the 3DS in favor of a PS Vita version. That news wasn’t exactly well-received by Nintendo fans.
Some questioned Nicalis’ decision on Twitter, but the studio promised that more games are on the way to the 3DS as well as Wii U. The company also said that it “always” intends to support Nintendo systems. In one particular tweet, Nicalis appeared to tease two more 3DS titles in the form of asterisks.

Nifflas and KnapNok’s new Wii U game inspired by Steel Battalion
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Nicklas Nygren of Nifflas fame has talked a tiny bit more about his upcoming Wii U title with KnapNok Games.
According to Nygren, the project takes some inspiration from Steel Battalion.
Nygren teased:
“I shouldn’t reveal too much without Knapnok’s permission, but so the reason it is for the Wii U is uhmm… *thinks* Actually, when I heard about the Wii U for the first time, the fact that it would have a separate touchscreen built-in with the controller I got quite excited. Because you know… Okay, you know the old game Steel Battalion for I think the first Xbox? This came with this huge controller, which was designed just because for that specific game. I guess it is kind of tricky to sell something like that, since you need to sell the hardware. The game essentially makes… wouldn’t be able to play without having these buttons and stuff. I guess what the Wii U did by having a separate touchscreen and a controller at the same time, was that it opened up for a new like… I would say for that kind of game, where you can have more an advanced control system and menu. At the same time, it doesn’t have to clutter what’s happening in the game with a lot of elements that pop up on the screen. I started to think about what kind of games would be really excellent with this kind of hardware and what would work specifically well for the Wii U and we came up with this idea.”
Mysterious Cities of Gold: Secret Paths to be fully localized in English
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Mysterious Cities of Gold: Secret Paths was always a sure thing for the Wii U and 3DS, but a Kickstarter for the new video game launched last week in hopes of providing a better localizing effort.
The campaign goal has since been reached after funds reached $30,000. As a result, Secret Paths will be fully localized in English with voice-acting dubbing of cinematic scenes and dialogue. Spanish subtitles will also be included, and a PC port has been guaranteed.
There’s still 23 days remaining in the Kickstarter campaign. If donations exceed $40,000, the team will add in Italian, German, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, and Swedish subtitles. There are also plans for a free Polish translation thanks to some assistance from a professional translator fan.
