Runner 2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien was initially a PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade game. Eventually, developer Gaijin Games decided to bring the game to the Wii U as well.

Aksys Games, the project’s publisher on PSN and XBLA, was approached by Gaijin to see if they’d be interested in releasing a Wii U version as well. But they weren’t. So Gaijin decided to get involved with self-publishing.

Gaijin co-founder Alex Neuse talked about how the studio is half-publishing Runner 2 in a new interview:

“Sure, it’s a little weird. The original Runner 2 plan was to release on PSN and XBLA, and Aksys were up for it. We asked if they wanted to be involved with the Wii U and Vita versions, and they said, ‘Not really…’ It’s just as simple as that, they just weren’t really into it, and that’s fine. So we decided to do it on our own!”

Scribblenauts Unlimited will feature characters from Nintendo’s Mario and Zelda franchises – on Wii U that is. The same can’t be said for the 3DS version of the game.

According to 5th Cell’s Jeremiah Slaczka, the only reason this is the case is due to timing.

Slaczka explained:

“Timing. The 3DS version was already finished and moving into manufacturing (cartridges take longer to produce) by the time the deal was signed with WB & Nintendo.”

Slaczka noted that once the deal was done, “only the Wii U and PC [versions] remained and obviously Nintendo would only want their IP on their platform.”

Sorry to those who were hoping for more Nintendo franchises to appear in Scribblenauts Unlimited – Slaczka told IGN that “it’s just Mario and Zelda for now” but “there’s plenty of characters and other goodies to discover within those universes.” He additionally stated that “many unique objects” can be found and that the characters are “just for fun. Though it’s up to the player on how they want to solve a puzzle, so it’s possible they could use Nintendo characters to do it.”

Two more points: Slaczka mentioned that “this deal happened pretty late in development so we didn’t have time for locations” and speaking about adjectives, he once again confirmed that they can’t be used on Nintendo characters, saying that “understandably Nintendo is cautious about letting other games use their IP. So for now their characters can’t be modified.”

A rating for the 3DS version of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate popped up on the OFLC ratings board today. Interestingly, it lists Nintendo as the game’s publisher.

If that’s accurate, the company could be distributing it in Europe as well. Nintendo may also choose to publish the Wii U version of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate in Australia/Europe.

Nintendo’s approach to voice chat and headsets for Wii U are already making waves. The bottom line is, it’s an unconventional and confusing approach.

When asked to provide a comment about the situation, Nintendo responded with the following:

“Wii U will have in-game chat functionality for select games, including, but not limited to, Call of Duty: Black Ops II, Assassin’s Creed III and Mass Effect 3. This feature will be supported by licensed stereo headsets that plug directly into the headphone port of the Game Pad. Licensed headsets are available from Turtle Beach and TRITTON.”

We can only hope that there will be some simpler solution with wireless headsets in the future…
