A new report from the Japan Times claims that Nintendo is now offering developers “professional-use conversion software” that allows smartphone and tablet games to be more easily made for Wii U. Nintendo’s ultimate goal is to increase hardware sales and offer a greater array of titles.

Given Nintendo’s new approach to smaller developers, this would hardly be surprising. The company just recently began supporting Unity on Wii U and launched the “Nintendo Web Framework”, enabling application development on the Wii U through HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS.

Gearbox says ‘Aliens’ lawsuit claiming false advertising is “beyond meritless”

Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in General Gaming, News, Wii U | 0 comments

“Attempting to wring a class action lawsuit out of a demonstration is beyond meritless. We continue to support the game, and will defend the rights of entertainers to share their works-in-progress without fear of frivolous litigation.”

– Gearbox Statement

They’re sort of obligated to say this because they’re being sued and they don’t want to lose the case, but I wonder if they have a point. They should definitely be allowed to share a work in progress… but if the work in progress looks so much better than the final product? I don’t know! Maybe, maybe not. I’m not much for legalese.

A few, official Shadow of the Eternals details, footage next week

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

Since Shadow of the Eternals’ leak, Precursor Games has shared a few, official details about its game.

The crowdfunding campaign will officially begin on Monday. Precursor will be looking to raise $1.5 million – not $1.1 million as originally thought – for a total of 12 episodes. Numerous stretch goals will be included.

Precursor’s “primary goal for Shadow of the Eternals is to raise 1.5M dollars. Any money raised beyond this will contribute to stretch goals that go beyond the first episode, including future episodes, additional characters, additional platforms and in-game perks. The more money that we raise, the more we can deliver, which is a win for everyone.”

Wii Fit U trademark abandoned, but probably doesn’t mean much

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

In news that probably doesn’t matter, the Wii Fit U trademark was abandoned in the US late last month. Nintendo failed to response/had a late response with the USPTO. The new response deadline should be set around late May.

Honestly, this isn’t something to get worked up about. While it’s an interesting discovery, I think we all know that Wii Fit U won’t be ditched.
