Sadly, Darksiders is pretty much dead. The IP was one of the few assets that THQ was unable to successfully sell off.

Crytek did pick up a good majority of Vigil staffers – responsible for the Darksiders games – but left the series behind.

Rovio creative director Patrick Liu tweeted earlier this week: “No more Darksiders! 🙁 Whyyyyy Crytek…”. Responding to this, Darksiders’ lead designer Haydn Dalton wrote:

“Tis true Pat…sometimes good things come to an end. That’s why you’ve gotta enjoy them while you can.”

And thus Dalton confirms what we all expected at this point: Darksiders is gone.

NintendoEverything sits down with ‘A Hat in Time’ developer Mecha the Slag, pretending to spend a quiet evening sipping on tea, talking about where all of the awesome platforming games went– and how he’s going to unintentionally bring them back.

Author: Austin

Earlier this week I learned of a game.

I was scouring the internet for any sign of the dead 3D exploration platforming genre to no avail, and I turned to reddit to have a discussion on the topic, asking for any games people knew of that fit the bill. The response was pretty sizeable.

I was recommended games from Cave Story to Shadow Complex, Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts to Prince of Persia; none of these games quite scratched the itch I had though. There was always something “off” about them, either gameplay-wise or artistically. Perhaps they were too linear, or didn’t feature enough backtracking; maybe the atmosphere was closer to a Saturday morning cartoon than a charming game of the N64 era– each one had some different “flaw”. The point is that after ten hours, I figured that maybe the genre was dead, and I was looking for something that wasn’t there. Apparently developers had simply abandoned the genre overnight, and now a former industry staple was nowhere to be found.

But why?

UK software sales for Wii U last month were rather abysmal. Just 34,000 games were sold in the territory throughout January. The figure is even more bewildering when you consider that all copies of Nintendo Land – yes, the ones bundled in with the Premium Pack – count towards the total. Wii U maintained a market share of just 1.6% in the UK.

A full listing of UK software totals can be found in the graphic above.

The image above shows a supposed “Zmart” listing for Battlefield 4 on Wii U, as noted by the Nintendo Pe Facebook fan page. The source also mentions the store as having the Pikachu 3DS XL available for pre-order with a tentative March date. The only problem? They also list “Zelda Wii U” and “Modern Warfare 4 Wii U” as coming, despite the fact that those are clearly just placeholders.

Is this to be believed? Maybe. For now, we’ll remain skeptical. We won’t know for sure until Activision or EA say something!

Someone at Nintendo screwed up earlier today. Scribblenauts Unlimited appeared on the European Wii U eShop, despite the fact that the game had just been delayed earlier this week.

Nintendo has since commented on the error. In a statement, the company wrote:

“Scribblenauts Unlimited for Wii U which was recently delayed for Europe was made available today to download on the Nintendo eShop for a short period of time. This title has now been removed from the Nintendo eShop. We are very sorry for any confusion this may have caused and we hope to make further announcements on the European launch of these games very soon.”

At this point, it would be impossible for Ubisoft to ignore the comments it has been receiving regarding its decision to delay Rayman Legends in order to make it multiplatform. Gamers have been vocal on Miiverse, the company’s official Facebook page and forums, and other areas. Heck, fans have even started to create petitions in hopes of getting Rayman out on time.

Ubisoft’s decision is final, but it has responded to the vociferous criticisms and comments. The company said that they “understand your frustration and that you want to get your hands on the game.” Ubisoft is also promising “a new, exclusive demo for the Wii U soon.”

Thanks for all your feedback regarding Rayman Legends in all of its forms. We have heard you and we will continue to listen. We understand your frustration and that you want to get your hands on the game.

We are working with the development team to provide you with a new, exclusive demo for the Wii U soon. Stay tuned for more.

Capcom has no plans to add co-op to the main campaign in Resident Evil: Revelations HD. However, you’ll still be able to team up with a friend through the game’s Raid Mode.

When asked about the possibility of co-op in single-player, a Capcom marketing staff member said:

“At this time it’s not planned to add co-op to the campaign side of Revelations.”
