Wii U

Capcom was nice enough to send this game over prior to launch, so I figured I’d capture a little footage for you. What was supposed to be an informative play session with lots of great footage turned into a steaming pile of steamed tamales when I decided to test out the game’s “Infernal” difficulty setting instead of the traditional “Normal” mode.

Shoulda done normal. 🙁



The developer of ‘Road Redemption’ says first party titles will get people to buy Wii U, Nintendo games are just “too damn unique” to be found on PS4 or the next Xbox.

You already saw snippets of this interview in the Road Redemption preview we put up earlier today, but in case you wanted to hear more about the subjects I touched on there, or a few other Nintendo-specific topics, I’m posting the full interview in straightforward question-and-answer form below.

The developer of Road Redemption (DarkSeas Games) talked with me about developing the game, what sorts of modes might be included, and the possibility of downloadable content, but they also touched on some more general subjects like the future of Nintendo and the Wii U, as well as how they believe Nintendo could kickstart sales of the system. Hit the break for the full interview!



High-octane, arcade-style combat racing: Coming to Wii U in 2014.


Author: Austin

Amidst the flurry of charming and pleasant indie titles making their way to the Wii U eShop as an effect of Nintendo’s strong interest in the independent community, one game exists that brands itself neither charming nor pleasant: The high speed brawler Road Redemption is based off of a 1991-1999 video game series called “Road Rash”, and it’s coming to PC, Mac, Linux, and Wii U in the second half of 2014. But what’s the game actually about?

“It’s all about motorcycle combat racing.”, the developer DarkSeas games told me in an interview, ”So imagine you’re playing an action game like God of War or Zelda: Twilight Princess, but moving at 100mph.”

Well. That sounds pretty awesome.


A few worthwhile deals are running on Amazon at the moment.

First up, LEGO City: Undercover is currently available for $39.99. All purchases come with a Chase McCain minifigure, valued at $9.99.

New Super Mario Bros. U is also on sale for $39.99. Get ready for the New Super Luigi content by tackling the “original” Wii U game.

Last but not least, you can grab Call of Duty: Black Ops II for $29.99. Activision’s first-person shooter was initially priced at $60, so you’ll be saving $30.


Man… how disappointing. No one ever expects licensed games to be impressive, but since this one comes from Firebrand Games, I was hoping that the final result wouldn’t be this much of a letdown.



Those who pre-order Batman: Arkham Origins from Amazon will receive playable Deathstroke downloadable content. That’s on top of the previous offer of $10 credit.

The Deathstroke DLC isn’t listed on Amazon’s Arkham Origins product page, but it is mentioned on the retailer’s main video game page. We’ll likely be hearing something official about this tomorrow when the game’s full trailer hits.
