Watch_Dogs is no longer hitting store shelves next month, but the wait should be worth it for Ubisoft. The publisher is predicting sales of 6.2 million units for the new title. Strong pre-orders have contributed to Ubisoft’s lofty target.
Iizuka on the possibility of future Sonic games on Nintendo systems
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 0 comments
Sonic has returned to Nintendo consoles after Sonic Generations skipped the Wii. Even better for the Big N, Sonic Lost World’s main game is only available on Wii U.
So what does the future hold for Sonic on Nintendo’s home systems? SEGA’s Takashi Iizuka won’t make any commitments, but told Nintendo Life, “we are willing to have these fans to enjoy our titles in the future too.”
“Wii wasn’t a HD console so we weren’t able to release Sonic Generations. But even though, we knew that there are many platform action game fans in Nintendo console, so we are willing to have these fans to enjoy our titles in the future too.”
As far as the 3DS is concerned, it sounds like Iizuka has interest in extending SEGA’s Sonic support going forward, though he won’t “confirm the future.”
“We can’t confirm the future, but personally, I feel 3DS is a best console for kids to enjoy a game, and to those consumers, we hope to deliver Sonic titles in the future too.”

If you plan on downloading Wii Party U, you’ll need to reserve roughly 5.414GB (5514MB) of space. That’s how big the European version is, and the North American release should be very similar in size. Wii Party U will also be offered at retail.

VD-Dev is authorized to make Wii U games, but doesn’t have plans for the console
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
You may have noticed how VD-Dev’s website contains a Wii U logo. Does that mean the IronFall team has plans to develop for Nintendo’s home console in addition to the 3DS? Unfortunately, that would be a no.
We did receive confirmation from VD-Dev that the studio is authorized to make games for Wii U and PS Vita. However, there are “no plans” to get involved with either system at this time.
