Wii U eShop

Update: Bumped to the top of the front page. Game is now confirmed. It’s a remake of the original side-scrolling platformer made by WayForward and features Scrooge as the lead character. It will be available this summer for the PlayStation Network, Xbox Live Arcade, and Wii U eShop for $15.

New “Tutorial”, “Scrooge’s Money Bin”, and “Museum” areas are included, and the game will make use of a remastered soundtrack. Sprites have been re-created, and will offer 3D environments. “Authetintic” voice talent is on  board for the project.

Capcom has two video game announcements planned for PAX East 2013. One reveal is apparently a pair of Dragons & Dungeons games. Word on the street is that the other is some kind of new DuckTales.

NeoGAF member “Gunstarheroes”, who is attending PAX East this week, claims that Capcom’s booth at the show confirms a DuckTales title of some sort. It could be completely original, but I’m personally betting that it’s a remaster of the original NES game released over two decades ago.

Details are not immediately available. However, Capcom did recently confirm that its PAX announcements are digital, so you’ll likely be seeing the DuckTales title on the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade – at the very least.

Capcom has confirmed rumors that it will be bringing two Dungeons & Dragons arcade games to the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade. Versions are also planned for the Wii U eShop and Steam.

Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom and Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow Over Mystara will be available collectively this June.

Thus far, Capcom has revealed that the two titles will support online play highlighted by drop-in, drop-out co-op play, customizable house rules, the original arcade mode with forking paths, and a new challenge system.


Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate players in Europe can now download the game’s apps from the eShop. The Data Transfer Program and Ultimate Packet Relay Tool are both available.

As of this moment, neither app has arrived on the North American eShop. Capcom said yesterday that both would be released by Friday… which is tomorrow!

In the past, European Wii U and 3DS owners could only purchase mature titles at night. There had been issues relating to German law, making it impossible to download such content during the day time.

The situation has, fortunately, since changed. Nintendo has confirmed that Wii U and 3DS users can now buy and download mature content at any time of the day.

A message from Nintendo reads:

Yet another game has been announced for the Wii U eShop. Blood of the Werewolf – previously confirmed for the PlayStation Network, Xbox Live Arcade, and PC – is also coming to Nintendo’s digital platform. Scientifically Proven Entertainment is bringing the action platformer to the eShop in June.

Here’s a roundup of known information thus far:

– Play as Selena, one of the last of the Wolf Clan
– Selena’s parents taught her to keep her abilities a secret
– Both parents are refugees from the werewolf genocide in Europe
– Fearing that their enemies would follow them to America, Selena’s father Nicolae taught her to fight
– Selena killed her first prey at 13, which is tradition for the Wolf Clan
– She receives the Wolf Clan Signal that she wears on her side
– Selena married Marko who is another Wolf Clan member
– The two move from the city to a small farm house away from others
– Selena eventually gave birth to her son Nickoli
– There was peace for awhile, but as the game opens, Selena comes hope and see that Marko has been brutally murdered and her son is missing
– Takes place over a single full moon night as Selena heads through the city controlled by the three major houses; Frankenstein, Jekyll, and Dracula
– Encounter and overcome many minions, obstacles, and bosses to find the last of the wolf line
– “brutal white knuckle experience”
– Working on unique GamePad features
– Leaderboard and friend tracking elements
– Level maps, and “secret area” indicators

Blood of the Werewolf is just the start of Scientifically Proven Entertainment’s Wii U eShop plans. CEO Nathaniel “Than” McClure spoke about the developer’s future projects with Nintendo Life:

Yes. We are working on an awesome tower defence game called Get Off My Lawn. You will play as an old man trying to keep the rascally trouble making neighbourhood kids off of your lawn throughout the year by utilizing a multitude of seasonal lawn ornaments.

We are also working on a sequel of sorts to Firefighter. It will be an Unreal Engine-driven, episodic action-packed shooter. As a player you will fear for your life in the same familiar fashion as the big cinematic shooters but driven by some new unique mechanics — the destructive fire enemy and the ever changing, choice-driving, destructible environments. The first person mechanics are the same as what you are used to, but the harrowing life and death experience in the face of a 1500 degree wall of fire or a collapsing city tower is something totally unique and new. The Wii U and its dual-screen ability on the GamePad make it a perfect fit. We think you will love it.
