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!

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.

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.

Kevin Conroy appears to be voicing Batman in Origins after all
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Despite rumors to the contrary, Kevin Conroy will in fact be voicing Batman in Batman: Arkham Origins. Conroy also voiced Batman’s role in Arkham Asylum and Arkham City.
Rumors regarding Conroy’s departure for Origins circulated after a report came in from NAG Magazine. But during a Q&A session at the Dallas Comic-Con, Conroy confirmed that he’s been involved with the “next Arkham game” for the past “nine or ten months”. While Origins isn’t specifically mentioned, it’s the only new entry in the mainline Arkham series.
