Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U eShop | 0 comments

In the wake of THQ and Vigil Games’ closure, Nintendo will be pulling Darksiders II from the Wii U eShop on March 31. Those who have already purchased the game can re-download it at any time, but new consumers won’t be able to find Darksiders II on the store.

It’s unclear if/when Nintendo will remove Darksiders II from the North American eShop. The company may choose to take it down on Monday as well – just without prior notice.

Sunbreak Games on the possibility of Buddy & Me for Wii U eShop

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments

The folks at Sunbreak Games launched a Kickstarter last week for a new game called “Buddy & Me”. What makes this campaign particularly interesting is that studio founder Jason Behr previously lent his talents to Metroid Prime as lead level designer.

At this point you’re probably wondering if Buddy & Me has a shot of landing on the Wii U eShop. Behr is “personally a fan of what the Wii U’s trying to bring to the living room console experience” and also approves of Nintendo’s “recent loosening of their indie developer requirements”, but said that the team’s small size means the developer has to “pick our battles very carefully.” A Wii U version is certainly a possibility “if things are wildly successful”, but for now, the team is concentrating on putting out a quality experience on tablet and mobile platforms.

Regarding Wii U, that’s a great question, you’re not the first to ask. I’m personally a fan of what the Wii U’s trying to bring to the living room console experience (it’s conceptually very similar to how the DS evolved the handheld experience), and what kind of gameplay experiences the extra touch-screen interface might bring. I’m also happy to read about Nintendo’s recent loosening of their indie developer requirements.
But at the moment, Sunbreak is still a very small indie team with limited resources, so we have to pick our battles very carefully. Each additional platform beyond the initial iOS release takes more time, money, testing hardware, special-case assets, etc… So, yes it’s a possibility if things are wildly successful (either via Kickstarter or initial sales), but right now our #1 priority is focusing team resources 100% towards a quality release on tablet/mobile, before considering expansion to traditional consoles.

You can find more information about Buddy & Me on the official Kickstarter page here.

Forgotten Memories: Sixth Sense dev looking to bring game to Wii U

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Wii U eShop | 0 comments

Unity-based “Forgotten Memories: Sixth Sense” could be Wii U-bound. The game’s developer has been working on the survival-horror project for several years, but is now looking to release it on Nintendo’s console as well as iOS and the PlayStation Vita. Given Nintendo’s open policy towards indies these days, there’s a good chance that we’ll be seeing this one on the eShop one day.
