Resident Evil: Revelations comparisons, performance analyzed
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 0 comments
Digital Foundry is back with another comparison of a recently released multiplatform game: Resident Evil: Revelations.
Revelations appears to be the worst on Wii U out of all HD versions from a technical standpoint. Digital Foundry concludes that on Wii U, the title suffers from a “more erratic performance” and “less precise controls”. Still, “Revelations is still well worth buying on the Wii U”, Digital Foundry says.
You can find a few video comparisons of all versions below. Be sure to check out the full piece here, which also covers the impressiveness of the 3DS version.
Become a pedestrian in Watch_Dogs through new contest
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Ubisoft is running a contest for Watch_Dogs that will allow fans to get into the game as pedestrians.
15 randomly chosen players will be selected for a drawing. Your information will be entered, but winners won’t have their looks represented.
Fans can sign up for the contest on Facebook here. A Facebook account is obviously required, as is a Uplay account. You also need to be over 18 and be a resident in the US. Those who enter will be asked to enter their name, birthdate, occupation, and three interesting facts about themselves.
The contest ends on June 8. Ubisoft will notify winners on June 17, and will then highlight the 15 profiles on the official Watch_Dogs page. Another 50 winners will earn exclusive Watch_Dogs wallpapers early and have their information used in a number of promotions.

A product page on GameStop’s website confirms that 5th Cell will be bringing back the “Sidekick Mode” from Scribblenauts Unlimited in this year’s release, Scribblenauts Unmasked: A DC Comics Adventure. This allows additional users to join in at any time and control objects created by the first player.

Soraya Saga retweets Nintendo Direct news; “X” on the presentation?

Soraya Saga recently retweeted Nintendo’s Japanese E3 Nintendo Direct message. For those who are unaware, Saga is Tetsuya Takahashi’s wife – one of the leading staffers on “X”.
The last time Saga retweeted Nintendo Direct news, “X” made its first appearance – that was at the end of the January presentation. Could the anticipated Wii U game be appearing on the upcoming broadcast?
Dying Light not coming to Wii U
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Aside from Ubisoft, you could say that Warner Bros. has been the Wii U’s biggest supporter. The company came out with Batman: Arkham City and Scribblenauts Unlimited at launch, and has other significant titles on the way such as Batman: Arkham Origins, Scribblenauts Unmasked, and LEGO Marvel Super Heroes. Plus, Warner Bros. also recently released Injustice: Gods Among Us and LEGO Batman 2 for the console.
One Warner Bros. game that won’t be hitting Wii U is “Dying Light” from Dead Island developer Techland. It was announced for both current-gen and next-gen consoles yesterday, but it has since been confirmed that there are no plans for a Wii U version.
Wii U sales see huge increase on Amazon UK
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
Perhaps due to the negative reception of the Xbox One, Wii U sales have seen a huge sales increase on Amazon UK.
Prior to Microsoft’s announcement, the Wii U was slumping at the 390th position. It has since climbed to the 40th position with an 875 percent increase.
Are the boost in Wii U sales related to the Xbox One? I’m not ready to draw any conclusions, but the significant increase is certainly interesting.
Thanks to KIDNINTENDO for the tip.
Still no news on Call of Duty: Ghosts for Wii U
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Activision made the next-generation version of Call of Duty: Ghosts official this week when the game was unveiled at Microsoft’s Xbox One announcement event. Infinity Ward later confirmed Ghosts for the PlayStation 4 as well. That leaves Wii U as the only console without a confirmation that the shooter is on the way.
We had hoped that Activision may have something new to share about Ghosts for Wii U now that next-gen versions are out in the open. Sadly, that’s not the case. When asked about any news of a Wii U version, the company told us that it doesn’t have “anything more to announce about Ghosts at this time.”
I still have a feeling that Ghosts will be on Wii U, but the fact that we can’t get a straight answer is maddening.

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 0 comments
Neko Entertainment has a new game lined up for the Wii U and 3DS: The Mysterious Cities of Gold.
Perhaps that name sounds familiar to some of you. The project is based on the same French/Japanese animated series that originally aired in the 1980s.
Only a few details about the game are known at present. Players will be able to switch between the heroes Esteban, Zia and Tao, and areas will be shown from a top-down perspective.
The Mysterious Cities of Gold will be available this fall.
