Shovel Knight dev would love to have local multiplayer, but says we shouldn’t get our hopes up
Posted on 12 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
It may just be a pipe dream for now, but Shovel Knight developer Yacht Club Games’ Sean Valesco would love to have some form of local multiplayer in their upcoming sidescroller. After the The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords was mentioned to Valesco at PAX East this week by Destructoid editor Jonathan Holmes, he got pretty excited:
– Yacht Club Games’ Sean Valesco
Yacht Club Games probably wants to make it clear that this isn’t a hint at anything, nor is there any real chance this could make it in at this point. It’s just a dream that they may try, and may put into Shovel Knight down the line. Or they might not, and we’ll never hear of it again.
Keep your hopes in check!
More Nintendo maintenance taking place over the next two days
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, DS, DSiWare, News, Wii Shop Channel, Wii U, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Another round of Nintendo maintenance (“extended” this time, not “emergency”!) will be taking place on all of Nintendo’s platforms over the next few days.
The bulk of the downtime is happening today. Each one of Nintendo’s online shops will be down between 12 PM and 6 PM PT. Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, and Fist of the North Star: Ken’s Rage 2 will be affected at different parts of the day as well.
Tomorrow’s maintenance is much lighter – only Pokemon Black/White 1/2 will see downtime.
The full schedule is posted below.
Nintendo on abolishing indie dev office space requirement, devs setting own prices, easy updates, inexpensive dev kits, WiiWare threshold, more
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, DSiWare, General Nintendo, News, Podcast Stories, Wii Shop Channel, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Dan Adelman is quickly becoming a prominent figure at Nintendo. The business development manager joined the company in 2005, and has pretty much been the man in charge – behind the scenes – for Nintendo’s indie involvement and digital offerings.
Gamasutra sat down with Adelman for a chat covering various indie and eShop topics. He confirmed the removal of Nintendo’s indie developer office space requirement and WiiWare threshold for all digital platforms. Adelman also talked about how indies set their own prices, can easily update their games, puchase a dev kit for “about the price of a high-end PC”, and more.
Head past the break for all of Adelman’s comments.

[REVIEW] Mighty Switch Force! Hyper Drive Edition
Posted on 12 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in Features, Podcast Stories, Reviews, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Author: Jack
Originally released in late 2011 on the 3DS by Valencia, California-based WayForward Technologies, Mighty Switch Force! came out to largely universal acclaim, but seemingly got lost in the shuffle alongside the release of other great retro-styled downloadables for the system, such as Mutant Mudds and VVVVVV. Wanting to further test the waters, WayForward announced this past July an HD port of the game to coincide with the launching of the Wii U, featuring more levels and updated visual stylings. Despite the glut of self-referential style direct-download platformers abound in this day and age, Mighty Switch Force! Hyper Drive Edition manages to stand out from the rest with its natural, effortless, tacit streamlinity in gameplay, additional content exclusive to Wii U, and grade-A soundtrack.
Nintendo refunds consumers $12 for $60 LEGO City eShop purchases
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Remember how Wii U users were at first forced to pay $60 for a digital copy of LEGO City: Undercover? It was an error on Nintendo’s part that was quickly fixed, but consumers who did pay the initial amount made out pretty well.
After contacting Nintendo, affected Wii U owners have received a $12 refund on their credit card or eShop account depending on the form of purchase. Additionally, Wii U Deluxe Set owners maintain the extra $10 worth of points in the Digital Deluxe promotion. Not too shabby!
Thanks to Jake for the tip.
No plans to release classic Disney-Capcom games on the Virtual Console
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii Shop Channel, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Capcom will be publishing DuckTales Remastered this summer, which is pretty crazy when you think about it. Not many expected the company to touch the NES title at this point.
DuckTales Remastered’s announcement begs the question: could we see releases of classic Disney-Capcom games on the Virtual Console? The answer is no, unfortunately.
Capcom’s Christian Svensson explained why on the company’s official forums:
At the moment, sadly no. Our agreement with Disney is just for Duck Tales in its new form. It does not allow us to rerelease these other projects on new platforms.
