Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 2 Comments
Capcom’s HD version of Resident Evil: Revelations shipped 900,000 units around the world during the three month period ending June 30. Note that shipped doesn’t fully translate to sold. Resident Evil series sales now stand at over 57 million units.
As far as Capcom’s actual financial results are concerned, the company’s net income decreased to ¥828 million ($135 million), leading to a 37.3 percent drop year-over-year. Net sales took a hit as well and lowered by 6.2 percent to ¥17.5 billion yen ($2.85 billion).
Capcom said of its financial results:
“Consolidated financial results for ended June 30, 2013 was decreased in sales and all profits from the same term last year, because of the lower ASP for the package software and the lack of major titles for the mobile contents in the Digital Content business.”
Capcom discusses Monster Hunter Frontier G’s new release
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 2 Comments
New versions of Monster Hunter Frontier G were announced in this week’s Famitsu. Previously released on the Xbox 360 and PC in Japan, the online title is now heading to the Wii U and PlayStation 3.
Director Tatsumi Kimoto and producer Kazunori Sugiura chatted about Monster Hunter Frontier G with Famitsu to discuss where Capcom is taking the game with these new platforms.
First, Kimoto provided the following overview:
“The biggest asset of MHFG is how it provides a continually-evolving hunting experience for you to enjoy through its regularly large-scale updates. That’s a unique attraction, the way the game changes with each update through its new monsters, weapons, and armor. With MHFG being online only, you can enjoy the game with hunters from all across the country, and we provide a wealth of content that lets you interact and work together with them. For someone just starting, it’s packed with so much content that you’ll never be able to digest it all.”

Batman: Arkham Origins getting online multiplayer, but apparently not coming to Wii U
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 10 Comments
Warner Bros. announced an online multiplayer component for Batman: Arkham Origins today. Surely this significant feature will be coming to Wii U, right? Well, not exactly…
As far as I can tell, Origins’ online multiplayer will not be available on Wii U. Warner Bros.’s announcement only mentions the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC, and the official trailer is also conspicuously absent of a Wii U logo.
I’m not quite sure what reason there would be to keep Batman: Arkham Origins’ online multiplayer off Wii U, but we’ll try to get some answers.

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 2 Comments
Once again, we have a look at Nintendo’s most up=to-date release schedule thanks to items provided in the company’s latest NPD report. There aren’t too many highlights this time around, but one release window in particular does stick out.
When Nintendo announced Bravely Default for the west a few months ago, the plan was to have it out in Europe before the end of 2013. Now, like North America, it would appear that the 3DS RPG won’t be available until next year.
