No word on Destiny for Wii U
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Bungie’s next game, Destiny, is heading to a whole bunch of different platforms. But as things stand now, it doesn’t seem as though the Wii U will be included in Activision’s plans.
Destiny has been confirmed for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and “future generation technology”. Even a PC version is up for consideration. Bungie, however, has said nothing about a Wii U release.
Will the situation change in the future? We can only hope.

Criterion heaps more praise on Wii U, Nintendo
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Amid some of the recent negative news surrounding the Wii U, it’s encouraging to see a developer such as Criterion Games going all out with Need for Speed: Most Wanted. We’ve already seen a few lazy efforts when it comes to third-party ports on the console, but Criterion has gone out of its way to make Most Wanted play better and look better on Wii U.
And despite what a few may say about the Wii U’s power, Criterion’s Alex Ward told Kotaku that the system does contain a fair amount of memory. He also spoke about the importance of coming out in a big way in terms of features as this is the team’s first release on the console.
“There’s more memory in the hardware… The draw distance is a little better. It’s not as mip-mapped out. …Well this is our first game on the hardware. We wanted to go back to like we used to be. If you know we’re doing the game, you know we’ve looked at the hardware and said, ‘What’s the best damned thing we can do on that?’ We’re going to support everything we can. We support MiiVerse fully, online play.”
Ward went on to talk about Nintendo in a very positive light, appreciating the “excellent gameplay” the company provides:
“Everyone wants to talk about this and that on the hardware, and it’s not as interesting to me. What’s really important is what we’re doing with the player experience. The games I’m playing on Wii U—Nintendo Land and New Super Mario Bros. U—what Nintendo [does], they just deliver excellent gameplay. It’s probably one of the big problems in the industry at the moment. Everyone—you guys—like to talk about specs and this and that. We’ve got to get back to just playing the game. And that’s what this game is about. It’s about a simple, fun experience. It’s not about 10,000,000 polygons and who does this and who does that.”

[Opinion] Am I the only one who wouldn’t mind a Wii U price cut with an ambassador program?
Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in Features, Wii U | 0 comments
The Wii U sold 55,000 units (give or take) this January. I want an Ambassador Program and a price cut, mostly because I want free games. How about you?
After the announcement that Wii U sold but 55K units this past January, I found myself legitimately worried about the future of the console for the first time ever. I don’t mean “Oh no Nintendo is going to die and everything will be ruined!” worried, I just mean “Man, they are going to be in for another Gamecube if they don’t get their act together with this.”
Not that I would mind another Gamecube. After all, the console spawned some of the greatest games of all time despite selling a paltry 21 million units, and none of us look back on that era and go “Man, Nintendo sure was close to being gone for good with that lunchbox console!”. Still, they were clearly in third place behind Sony and Microsoft, and as childish as it seems I like seeing Nintendo being on top. There’s something really satisfying about seeing the guy you like best winning, especially when the guy you like best is putting forth such a positive and unique image when juxtaposed with a lot of what else is out there.

Ambient Studios talks possibility of bringing Death Inc. to Wii U
Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in News, Wii U, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
“And even better for the Wii U because we wouldn’t have to compromise on the visuals like we might have to do if we did a tablet version (which would also be cool). I love, love, love the ‘living room’ experience of playing games — it’s my favourite setting, so it would be amazing to see it there.”
– Ambient Studios co-founder Johnny Hopper
The sooner they get it out the better! I know if it came out, got decent reviews, and wasn’t priced too ridiculously I would pick it up in a second since there isn’t much else on the eShop at this point. Heck, I almost picked up Puddle the other day simply because I wanted something to play on Wii U that was new… but I didn’t in the end. Whether there would be more support for Death Inc. I’m not sure– I know that reviews would probably play a big role in getting people to pick it up, since there likely wouldn’t be any measurable “hype” around an eShop release.
