Rebellion CEO praises Nintendo, has no idea what NX is
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Wii U | 11 Comments
Last week, Videogamer spoke with Rebellion CEO Jason Kingsley to talk Nintendo, including the NX.
Regarding the company in general, Kingsley had only good things to say about the Big N. He told the site:
“Nintendo are brilliant. They’re a fabulous company and I love them. I always feel they’re quite eccentric. They come up with some incredible hardware. Even the Virtual Boy back in the day was really intriguing, and then the clamshell design of their handhelds. To be honest, I just don’t know [whether Rebellion will support NX]. The only way I can answer the question is, when we know what the machine is we’ll see and we’ll have a look. I’ve always loved Nintendo, I love their games and love their hardware.”
As for NX, Kingsley has no idea about what the system actually is at this point. He therefore can’t commit to or rule out support until more information has surfaced, though the door is being left open.

Update: Play-Asia is taking pre-orders here.
We’ve seen real-life renditions of Splatoon weapons before, but there’s one that is being made into a new product. HVM has added in a listing for a Splattershot squirt gun, which will be sold in Japan starting on July 18 for 2,700 yen. It looks a bit similar to Target’s purchase bonus from last year!

Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS version 1.1.5 now live
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 27 Comments
Update: Official patch notes:
– Game balance adjusted
– Adjustments have also been made to make for a more pleasant gaming experience
* Replays stored up with the previous version (version 1.1.4) are not compatible
* Version 1.1.5 is required to play online
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS has been undergoing a bit of maintenance tonight. Alongside that, a new patch has been made available: version 1.1.5.
As the small increase in version number indicates, this is not a major update. When the official patch notes are published in English, it should include the following: “Adjustments have also been made to make for a more pleasant gaming experience.”
Today’s 3DS update requires 2,634 blocks (329MB) of free space on an SD card. The Wii U version takes up 160MB if you downloaded version 1.1.4, and 3.1GB if you haven’t grabbed the previous updates.

[Review] Pokken Tournament
Posted on 8 years ago by Dennis Gagliardotto(@LyonHart_) in Reviews, Wii U, Wii U eShop | 5 Comments
System: Wii U
Release date: March 18, 2016
Developer: Bandai Namco
Publisher Nintendo
Way back in 2013, fans were treated to a very short three second clip of Lucario and Blaziken standing across from each other in a gorgeous HD graphical style we had not seen with Pokemon before. It was a whole year before we heard anything regarding it, and then out of the blue, it was announced: Pokken Tournament, a fighting game developed by Bandai Namco with supervision from Tekken and Soul Calibur heavyweights Katushiro Harada and Masaaki Hoshino. It was confirmed to come out for arcades in Japan, but ultimately fans all over the world wanted it in their homes where they felt it’d be best – the Wii U. It wasn’t until sometime into 2015 where we finally received confirmation that it would indeed be making its way to Nintendo’s home platform and getting a worldwide release in 2016. Now, here we are. Pokken Tournament is in the hands of fighting game an Pokemon enthusiasts around the globe, but has it been worth the wait?
