GAME selling Monster Hunter 3 Double Pack
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 0 comments
Capcom has given us a dilemma. Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is coming out in March, but for two platforms: Wii U and 3DS. Which version should you buy? Some fans are thinking about picking up both.
For series followers in the UK, GAME has put up a pre-order page for a “Monster Hunter 3 Double Pack”. It includes Ultimate for Wii U and 3DS. Buying the two separately would set you back £73, so you’d saving a tiny bit by purchasing the Double Pack for £70.
You can find additional information on GAME’s site here.

Black Ops 2 Wii U patch coming, probably before the end of the month

The following quote comes from the brownie-loving community communicator over on the Activision community forums, A_Trey_U:
January 21st, 2013 11:51AM
We are wrapping up work on our next patch and hope to be submitting to Nintendo in the next day or two.
To those questioning our ability to get these out quicker, please understand that there is a process to this. Fixes have to be implemented by various people in the studio (all teams, not just the Wii U team), brought over to the Wii U, then tested thoroughly before the update can go to Nintendo. At that point, Nintendo spends time testing it on their end before releasing the patch to you.
Once Nintendo supplies us with a date that we can expect the patch to go live, I will publish another update. Sometimes they give us a few days warning, sometimes they give us a few hours warning. I will do the best I can to get you the information you are asking for in a timely manner.
This was posted on January 21st, so they have probably already submitted it to Nintendo, and we’ll likely hear an announcement about it within a week or two!
[Video Opinion] “Where did all the color go?” – A trailer analysis of Monolith Soft’s “X”
Posted on 12 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in Features, Podcast Stories, Videos, Wii U | 2 Comments
I made this video back on Wednesday (hence why it sounds like I thought the Nintendo Direct was “today”) but neglected to put it up because I feel as though its production values are rather low. Still, I think I trust you guys to be able to look passed the low recording quality and poor editing just this once to see the point I’m trying to make. What’s the point I’m trying to make?
Xenoblade is way more colorful (and in my opinion better looking) than Monolith Soft’s new game “X”. I think “X” looks like baloney visually, even if the game will be good for other aspects.
We have one or two more features coming today and this is the least important of them so I’m just tossing it up in the afternoon willy nilly. Expect a new ‘Two People Playin’ Games’ beta episode and a new ‘Here’s a Podcast’ later tonight!
Crystal Dynamics talks Wii U, why Tomb Raider isn’t being made for Wii U
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Given how Tomb Raider’s launch is on the horizon – it’s coming out on March 5 – it’s safe to say that it won’t be heading to Wii U. That means Straight Right’s secret Wii U port for Square Enix is a different game.
But why isn’t Tomb Raider coming to Wii U? Creative director Noah Hughes explained:

Most of the maintenance will start and end on Monday. The full downtime listings can be found below.

2013 GDC Awards – Nominees announced
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
The GDC awards are a pretty big deal, because it’s one of the few gaming awards shows that isn’t chosen by the public and isn’t chosen by some big name media company (like the VGAs)– the winners of this award are chosen by developers, for developers. Winning one of these means your peers who work in the same industry as you think highly of your product, and that’s a pretty cool thing!
You can find the nominees for all of the GDC Awards this year (which happens on March 27th at GDC) after the jump.
