Nnooo has been one of Nintendo’s strongest digital supporters. The studio produced Pop for WiiWare as soon as the service went live, and has also released a number of DSiWare downloads.

Unsurprisingly, Nnooo has confirmed that it is making a game for the Wii U eShop. It’s in the concept phase, but creative director Nic Watt and business director Bruce Thomson were willing to share a few vague tidbits about its new project.

Head past the break for details.

Firebrand Games working on unannounced multiplatform game for Wii U

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

Firebrand Games is working on a multiplatform title that will be coming to Wii U.

I could be wrong here, but I would think that the studio would be working on Need for Speed Hot Pursuit. Criterion is busy working on the PS3/360/PC/Vita versions, so assuming the racer is also coming to Wii U, EA probably asked Firebrand to make the Wii U edition.

Goldfinger is the fifth mission in 007 Legends

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

Activision confirmed Goldfinger as the final movie-inspired mission in 007 Legends today.

In 007 Legends, the Goldfinger mission finds the best undercover agent early in his career investigating Auric Goldfinger – a gold magnate thought to be behind a recent spike in gold prices – only to discover a larger plot to irradiate the entire Fort Knox gold reserve.
In order to thwart the plot, Bond takes action to infiltrate Goldfinger’s headquarters with help from a questionable acquaintance – Pussy Galore. Upon arrival at Fort Knox, 007 is tasked with defusing a nuclear bomb before it detonates, and the only thing standing between Bond and the bomb is Goldfinger’s henchman – Oddjob – and his notoriously deadly hat. Will Bond be able to defeat Oddjob? Will Goldfinger’s evil plans succeed?

The other playable missions are Die Another Day, Moonraker, Licence to Kill and On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.

Masuda on the possibility of Black/White 3, 3DS interest, not big on new Pokemon Snap

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

A few more quotes from Pokemon Black/White 2 producer Junichi Masuda can be found below.

Masuda answered questions about a possible Black/White 3 game, discussed his interest in the 3DS, and commented on a request to make another Pokemon Snap for Wii U. Sadly, it doesn’t sound like he’s interested, but he did tease Black/White 2 for the console – sounds like he was joking about that one!
