Pachter’s Activision/Wii U Pro controller comments not based on inside info
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter says that his recent comments regarding Activision motivating Nintendo to make the Wii U Pro controller centered around nothing more than an “educated guess”.
Pachter said today:
“I am putting two and two together to conclude that Activision put pressure on them. I do not know this either first-hand or third-hand; nobody told me. I am merely deducing it from what we know, and it’s an educated guess.”
I actually thought this was understood based on the way Pachter’s comments were worded. He did say that Activision never told him anything, and he didn’t make it seem as though he received any inside information. Anyway, Pachter has now made it clear that he was just voicing his feelings, so hopefully we can put those quotes behind us.

Believe it or not, there are still a couple of character reveals on the way to Tekken Tag Tournament 2. Katsuhiro Harada has given a few hints about the unknown roster inclusions.
Harada shared the following:
Hint #1
“One is a character a lot of people have been asking for his return. So, maybe they won’t be surprised, but a lot of people will be happy to hear about this.”
Hint #2
“Maybe, it’s not quite a new character, but it’s one people will be very surprised at. This character is one that they wouldn’t have discovered.”

There’s a rumor going around that the recently revealed Deadpool game will get its own version on Wii U. However, we should probably try to clear up the confusion.
Simply put, Deadpool isn’t confirmed for Wii U.
The rumor seems to be based on a Q&A transcription made on an official live blog this past weekend during the Marvel video games panel. Following the Deadpool reveal, one fan asked the following as part of the panel’s Q&A session:
Mass Effect 3 Wii U to include Extended Cut content on disc

We don’t know much about the Wii U version of Mass Effect 3, but series producer Michael Gamble has let out one nugget.
The recently released Mass Effect 3 Extended Cut DLC will be included in the Wii U release. However, it’s being integrated into the game itself rather than through a download. PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC owners have been able to access the free content digitally.
According to Gamble:
“The extended ending is basically going to be part of the game instead. You won’t have to download it.”

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
And now we have our first rumor clarification surrounding Wii U’s launch month.
Regarding SEGA’s recent Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed press release apparently confirming a November launch, a spokesperson said this was an error. The listing only applied to the Xbox 360, PS3, Vita and 3DS versions of the game.
Like most of you though, I’m still positive the console is coming in November.
Gearbox continues to praise Wii U, believes Borderlands 2 would be a good fit
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Gearbox co-founder and Chief Creative Officer Brian Martel has yet again delivered very positive remarks about the Wii U.
In an interview with Deadspin, Martel noted:
“We really like the Wii U. I think it’s a really cool platform. I like what they’re doing – obviously with the touchscreen – and it will be interesting to see what Microsoft do with their approach to that idea. It’s one of those problems of the Wii: the only people who have ever made a lot of money on the Wii is Nintendo. So we’re really excited to bring Aliens: Colonial Marines to it. And we’re going to do a wait and see approach, our publisher 2K is going to see whether they’re going to go with that.”
Martel was asked about his thoughts of how Borderlands 2 would be like on Wii U. While a Wii U version isn’t in development, Martel seemed excited with the possibility. He specifically pointed to inventory management as something that “would be amazing” on the console.
“If Borderlands 2 was on the Wii U, the thing I would be most excited about is inventory management: it would be amazing on that, it would just be fantastic. And I think the artwork would look really good, with the way they can deal with the resolutions and textures, I think it’s a really good console.”
