Nintendo is enforcing a 2GB file size limitation on the 3DS eShop according to Team Meat’s Tommy Refenes. This restriction would be much more reasonable than WiiWare’s 40MB limit.

In issue #72 of Nintendo Gamer, Refenes also said “Super Meat Boy would have been on WiiWare if we could have had just a few more megabytes of space”.

He told the magazine:

“[WiiWare’s] 40MB is horrible, but [3DS’s] 2GB is reasonable. Super Meat Boy would have been on WiiWare if we could have had just a few more megabytes of space – you can only compress stuff so much before you have to start cutting out huge parts of your game. Unfortunately, at that point, it just isn’t worth the time.”

Refenes wrapped up his comments by noting Team Meat would be interested in bringing their next game to the Wii U:

“If we can in the future, we’d like our next game to be on Wii U as well as everything else.”

Thanks to joclo for the tip!

Michael Pachter had some not-so-nice things to say about Nintendo recently. The Wedbush analyst was speaking at the Ayzenberg A-List Summit 2012 event to discuss the impact of social landscape on gaming.

At the end of his presentation, Pachter fielded some questions about Nintendo.

First, Pachter spoke about Nintendo being “in disarray” and commented on how he feels that the company has “completely blown Wii U by not telling people what the price is going to be.”

“I think Nintendo is in disarray. I think they’ve completely blown the Wii U by not telling people what the price is going to be. It’s going to launch at $249 because it has to. I think they’re dead anyway because Xbox with Kinect will be priced below that by the time they launch. …[the] Wii was a bubble and that the Wii bubble has burst.”

Pachter then went on to say that Wii owners have moved on to social titles like FarmVille and that these games, along with tablet/smartphone software, have killed the console. He feels these games will lead to the death of Nintendo handhelds as well.

It wasn’t all doom and gloom, though. Pachter complimented Nintendo for their success with Wii through their use of the Blue Ocean strategy which has made gaming a more mainstream activity today.

Pipeworks Software is in possession of Wii U development kits and are currently creating a new title for the console.

Game designer Jess Kappeler wrote the following on his LinkedIn profile:

“During my time at Pipeworks I have shipped five games as a lead designer and four as a game designer across multiple platforms, including PC, Xbox 360, XBLA, PSN and Wii. I am currently working on an unannounced game for Nintendo’s Wii U console.”

Pipeworks Software’s previous games include Zumba Fitness and uDraw Studio.

Although Disney hasn’t confirmed it, numerous pieces of evidence suggest that Epic Mickey 2 is in development. If the speculation is to be believed, Junction Point is preparing the game for the Wii (and possibly Wii U), PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.

We might be hearing something official about the game next month. The latest Nintendo Power is making the rounds, and the magazine’s teaser page for their April issue says the following:

“There will be no fooling around when it comes to our April issue. We’ll have the final word of Kid Icarus: Uprising and Xenoblade Chronicles in our full reviews, and get an exclusive whiff of a top-secret title that promises to make your head spin.”

In reference to the “top-secret title”, Nintendo Power included a pair of ears that are apparently very reminiscent of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.

We don’t have an image of the teaser page yet, but we’ll add it into this post once we get our hands on a photo.

Rumor has it that Nintendo is looking into forming ties with a variety of partners for digital distribution on Wii U. In doing so, it would appear that the company has interest in making the console a media entertainment device that goes far beyond what we saw on Wii – it’d be more like what Microsoft is offering with the Xbox 360.

Adweek claims that the company held discussions with “a select number of top content companies” at CES last month “including multiple cable networks and Web video producers”. Sports, music, television, and other entertainment content would be involved in these plans.

One of Adweek’s sources says that “This is very preliminary. It could go nowhere.”

Meanwhile, Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter has already weighed in on the rumor:

“I don’t know if they have the chops to pull it off. I don’t think game publishers are going to support it (the console).”
