Hideki Kamiya has kind of, sort of confirmed what was widely expected. On Twitter, Kamiya said that Bayonetta 2 will be shown during Nintendo’s E3 2013 Nintendo Direct.

Next week…in Ninty Direct… RT @cptwigglefuffle: Is Bayonetta 2 going to be in the new Nintendo Direct?

Kamiya tends to troll the folks he talks to on Twitter. You’ll usually see him writing things like “Next week…in game magazines…” when fans ask him when Bayonetta 2 will be shown – and he often successfully tricks people! In any case, even if Kamiya was somehow trolling this time around, pretty much everyone is counting on Bayonetta 2 being shown on the upcoming Nintendo Direct in some form.

Amazon: 007 Legends for $18

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments

Amazon is selling 007 Legends for just $17.98 through a third-party seller. It’s a significant drop from the original $60 price point. 007 Legends may be far from the Wii U’s best game, but if you’re looking to fill up your library, you may want to consider this one.

Level up the easy way in Dragon Quest X with $1,000 PC

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments

A new PC is surfacing on auction sites that allows Dragon Quest X players to quickly level up. The hardware possesses a special macro that puts your character on autopilot for a few days. It does the work for you… cheating, essentially.

Here’s the crazy part about this: the PC is going for $1,000. Some Japanese Dragon Quest X users have already purchased and used it just to level up their characters.

I don’t know about you, but I can’t ever see myself spending $1,000 on a game like that.

Character silhouettes from Nintendo’s E3 2013 site

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, Images, Wii U | 0 comments

When you refresh Nintendo’s E3 site, a new character silhouette appears. It’s not too big of a deal since they’re images we’ve already seen before – Pikmin, Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, Wind Waker, and Super Mario Galaxy art. Still, some of you may want to have a look.

Nintendo’s E3 2013 site now live

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 0 comments

Nintendo’s E3 2013 website is locked and loaded. Access it here.

Naturally, there isn’t a ton of content on the site at present, but it does confirm that a live-stream will be hosted directly on the page. Additionally, the site promises “game trailers, interviews, and more.” We’ll likely be seeing coverage similar to that of Nintendo All-Access content from previous years.

One other tidbit – Nintendo’s E3 site confirms the number of Wii U titles that will be playable at Best Buy locations. That would be four. Pikmin 3, Mario 3D, Wind Waker HD and Mario Kart Wii U are likely to be on display. Those are just my guesses!

Precursor Games’ Shawn Jackson says Shadow of the Eternals will probably not be completed if the Kickstarter fails

Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U, Wii U eShop | 0 comments

During an AMA (“ask me anything”) on reddit last night, Precursor Games executive Shawn Jackson was asked whether or not we could see Shadow of the Eternals (a spiritual successor to Gamecube hit Eternal Darkness) come out even if the Kickstarter didn’t reach his goal. His response:

“Since we do not have any other source of funding, it is unlikely.”

– Precursor exec Shawn Jackson

As their campaign has only reached $270,000 of their $1.5M goal, things aren’t looking great for the project as it stands right now. Unless something big happens and people get on board, we probably won’t see a spiritual sequel to Eternal Darkness anytime soon, despite how much clamoring we had for one.

Rumor: Scribblenauts Unmasked releasing on September 24

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Rumors, Wii U | 0 comments

Scribblenauts Unmasked: A DC Comics Adventure may be releasing on September 24. A “source close to publisher Warner Bros.” provided Nintendo World Report with the date, but it “could change.”

Last year’s Scribblenauts, Scribblenauts Unlimited, shipped in November. The series’ first entry came out in September, so I suppose anything is possible.

Spector: Underestimate Nintendo at your peril; considering future opportunities

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments

In an interview with GameSpot, Deus Ex and Epic Mickey designer Warren Spector weighed in on the Wii U’s struggles over the past few months.

Spector made note of his enthusiasm for Nintendo, and said that “you underestimate them at your peril.”

Spector stated:

“I’ve been pretty upfront about my enthusiasm for Nintendo. I think we need a company that’s dedicated to games. Every time I visit Nintendo, I’m relieved to have spent time in a place where you can just feel how much everyone loves games. And, really, how many times have people written Nintendo off? I think you underestimate them at your peril.”
