A few tidbits about The Cave on Wii U
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
SEGA and Double Fine’s The Cave was finally playable on Wii U during a press event last week. On Nintendo’s console, players can expect the GamePad to act as a character selector and means of controlling the camera. If you tap on a character, you’ll jump to them. If you double tap, the camera’s focus moves to them. Characters do not move independently off-screen in the game.
Double Fine’s Chris Remo said the following about the Wii U version of The Cave:
“So other than that, it pretty much plays like all the other versions. We did work really hard to ensure that visually everything you’re seeing is identical to the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions, so there’s no downscaling, there’s nothing going on that is not up to par with the other next-gen systems. There’s nothing super wacky going on, but it’s a completely full-featured version of the game.”

Notion Games invited to port Super Ubi Land to Wii U eShop
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Super Ubi Land could wind up on the Wii U eShop. Notion Games has said that it has been in touch with Nintendo and was invited to port the game. The developer could also bring future projects to the Wii U and/or 3DS.
At the moment, Notion Games is not in possession of a Wii U dev kit. It sounds like the team plans to raise money through some sort of fundraiser, but specific plans have not been shared.
Rumor: Capcom Arcade Cabinet heading to Wii U and 3DS eShops next year
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, Rumors, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Leaked artwork appears to reveal that Capcom Arcade Cabinet is on the way. While the images are Xbox Live Arcade-related, Pockett Videogames has apparently confirmed with its sources that Wii U eShop and 3DS eShop releases are planned as well.
Capcom Arcade Cabinet has not been officially announced. It also isn’t clear which games would be included in the collection, but the artwork hints at Ghosts ‘n Goblins, Commando, Gun.Smoke, Side Arms, 1943 and Black Tiger.
If Capcom Arcade Cabinet is a real thing, expect it on digital download services next year.
