I don’t think there was ever much doubt that Assassin’s Creed would go the way of Halo or Call of Duty, but just in case you were concerned that AC3 would wrap things up a bit, we’ve got some good news:

“Should they decide in the future to do other stuff, there’s plenty of room to explore, plenty of seeds that have been planted that won’t conflict. It was my intent to provide pay-off and to answer questions for those who are invested in them. It should provide a fairly lengthy ending that will also give room for answers and pay-off.” – Lead writer Corey May

It should also be noted that Corey claimed to have no knowledge of additional entries, but I think we all know how things are bound to play out. It’ll be Mass Effect all over again!

Why MH3 Ultimate 3DS lacks online, Wii U game supports text chat, friends list, and more, growing MH in the west

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 0 comments

The 3DS version of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate won’t have online play. To make up for that, the development team implemented save transfer functionality with the Wii U game. Three 3DS players and a Wii U player will be able to experience the title together through local Wi-Fi.

Monster Hunter chief Ryozo Tsujimoto told Eurogamer:

“We wanted people to play together. We know there are some people who want to play online. Unfortunately with the 3DS version you can’t do that. But we have made this feature so you can play together. You can have your friends bring their save data to your house and have a Monster Hunter party. One person will play on the big screen and three other people will play with their 3DS versions. People can continue their save data from what they had before and go back home and update their data on their Wii U.”

As for why the 3DS version doesn’t have online play, Tsujimoto explained:

Reggie on communicating messages to consumers, Nintendo’s quietness on post-launch window games

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 0 comments

A few more tidbits from Nintendo of America boss Reggie Fils-Aime have been posted online, mainly relating to the difficulties in communicating messages to consumers.

In this latest Q&A, Reggie talked about the challenges of getting the right word out when it comes to new hardware. He specifically mentioned that it wasn’t so easy communicating the appeal of StreetPass on the 3DS, and the same applies for Wii U’s Miiverse.

Finally, Reggie commented on why Nintendo has been quiet about post-launch window titles for Wii U.

Head past the break for the goods.

More unannounced Wii U games coming, some releasing during launch window

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments

A number of new Wii U games were confirmed at Nintendo’s press conference a few weeks back. There were some pretty big titles in that group: Bayonetta 2, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, and Call of Duty: Black Ops II.

Even though Nintendo did announce new games for the console, even more are on the way – and some will be released sooner rather than later.

When IGN prodded Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime, looking to obtain more information for interested fans, he told the site that more unannounced games are in the works, some of which will be available “during the launch window”. Unfortunately, Reggie wouldn’t say when we’ll learn about these mysterious releases.
