Nordic gives update on THQ acquisitions, talking with former Vigil staffers for Darksiders
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
It’s been a few months since Nordic Games acquired some of THQ’s key franchises, including Darksiders. Where do things stand at the moment?
Nordic’s Reinhard Pollice told Joystiq:
“It takes longer than expected getting everything together because THQ, there are not a lot of people there. There are just like five people and they’re mostly financial and administration guys. So the stuff that we need is really hard to get. I’ve been visiting them a lot of times, trying to make sure we get everything that we actually want, or that we should get.”
Darksiders was among the more interesting franchises picked up by Nordic. However, a new entry is still a very long ways off. Nordic is currently in contact with a few staffers from the now-defunct Vigil Games, though because a “certain core” of employees moved on to Crytek US, they probably won’t be working on any future Darksiders projects.
Super Mario 3D World adds nunchuck support for multiplayer

Super Mario 3D World’s playable debut lacked nunchuck support when it came to multiplayer. At E3, people simply couldn’t use the controller add-on while playing with others.
This has been addressed for Super Mario World’s next build, which is on display at Gamescom. According to an EDGE report, it’s now possible to use the nunchuck in multiplayer. You won’t have to worry about controlling characters with the Wiimote’s d-pad any longer!
Ubisoft thinking about DLC for Rayman Legends

DLC never made it into Rayman Origins. But for Rayman Legends – the game’s sequel for all intents and purposes – may very well have extra content.
Ubisoft’s Alain Corre told Engadget that the company is mulling over the possibility of such functionality. Nothing has been set, however.
Corre said:
“That’s something we are thinking of for Rayman Legends. There may be some extra things we can do for this game.”
Ubisoft believes in Nintendo, says ZombiU helped company learn about asynchronous gameplay, Wii U needs a little extra push

While Wii U has been struggling, the console’s biggest third-party supporter won’t be abandoning it anytime soon. Ubisoft will be coming out with a number of new titles for the system over the next few months, and it sounds like additional games will come in the future.
Ubisoft EMEA managing director Alain Corre told Polygon that the company believes in Nintendo, and they “feel there are some interesting things we can create.”
“We believe in Nintendo. Nintendo is a company that has proven in the last 30 years that they are able to fascinate tens of millions of gamers. Nintendo is a great game creator; they are magic to a lot of gamers. And we’ve had a lot of great experiences with Nintendo in the past, such as the Wii and the Just Dance franchise. It has become one of the major franchises on the Nintendo system and is growing on Wii U. The other reason is, we’re trying at Ubisoft, as a company, to be early on any new technology coming. We feel there are some interesting things we can create.”
