Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
SEGA and Gearbox Software provided the first information on a new multiplayer mode for Aliens: Colonial Marines today.
In Escape mode, a team of four US Colonial Marines players takes on four-player Xenomorph team. While the humans look to escape, the Xenomorphs will try to take down their prey as soon as possible. According to SEGA, “players will have to work together as a team, utilizing each faction’s unique skills, and identifying their opponents’ weak spots to either reach the safety of the escape point or to eliminate their targets.”
This is the second competitive multiplayer mode announced for Aliens: Colonial Marines. A competitive death match game mode had been confirmed awhile back.

Tantalus Media is working on Mass Effect 3 for Wii U. That much is clear. But Straight Right is also involved, based on the studio’s Facebook page.
Straight Right posted the following message yesterday:
“Happy to confirm that we’re developing Mass Effect 3 for Wii U with our friends at BioWare!”
In the end, it may not matter who’s developing the Wii U game specifically – mainly since Straight Right is a subsidiary of Tantalus.

Renegade Kid, known for titles such as Mutant Mudds and Dementium, has become an authorized Wii U developer. The studio is now in a position to make games for the console.
Co-founder Jools Watsham tweeted:
“Guess who’s an authorized Wii U developer now? Yep, Renegade Kid is in the Wii U house baby!”
Renegade Kid has never made a game for a Nintendo home console before, but the cancelled Son of the Dragon was considered for Wii at one point. Perhaps they’ll give Wii U development a try?

Nintendo apparently sharing Japanese Wii U details in a way other than a conference
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Nintendo will hold a press event on September 13 to reveal Wii U launch information – for North America that is. The company’s Japanese division has been remaining quiet about its own plans.
Many expected that Satoru Iwata would host the annual Nintendo Conference next month and would share Japanese-specific content for the Wii U. Turns out that this may not actually be happening.
Iwata, tweeting following today’s Nintendo Direct, indicated that the company will announce Japanese Wii U details in a different way.
He wrote:
“”There are more than a few people who are thinking, ‘There’ll be a Nintendo Conference in September.’ I want to tell you in advance that the announcement of the Wii U in Japan is planned in a way not involving the Conference.”
Make of that what you will…
