NOA recognizes fan interest in Devil’s Third, will have news soon
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 73 Comments
Nintendo of America has finally shared an update regarding Devil’s Third in North America, though the message was brief.
On the NOA Twitter account, the company acknowledged fan interest in the title. Nintendo also said that they’ll be sharing more news soon, and “are excited to bring the game to Wii U”. That comment may suggest that Nintendo is still handling publishing duties in North America.
Here’s the official message:
We know you are eager to hear more about Devil’s Third. We are excited to bring the game to Wii U and will have more to share soon.

I’m honestly surprised that Nintendo even commented on the situation at all. We’ll have to see how everything plays out!

Ultron, Hulkbuster heading to Disney Infinity 3.0
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 2 Comments
Two new characters have been announced for Disney Infinity 3.0. Ultron and Hulkbuster have been confirmed for the game, and both will be getting their own figures.
Bill Rosemann, creative director for Marvel Games, said of the decision to include these characters:
“We selected Ultron and Hulkbuster very deliberately because we knew the reaction to them was so strong. People would want to experience these characters in the Infinity format.”
In Disney Infinity 3.0, Ultraon possesses an ability to summon bots from the ground to attack enemies. He can also take advantage of a “wave of destruction” energy blast that can be performed at long range, and his command over gravity allows him to magnetically pull foes close and then shoot them point blank.
Jeff Bunker, art director for Avalanche/Disney Interactive Studios, told USA Today that Hulkbusteris “about as big and bad as they get.”

Nintendo hasn’t slowed down with content updates for Splatoon. The latest addition is Moray Towers, a new map in the game.
Nintendo describes the map as follows:
That verticality though! Jump down through all the hairpin turns in a single go, and BOOM—you’re right on the front lines! You’ll have to make your way up a series of sloping paths to get into enemy territory. Look for spots to swim up walls to flank your foes and take them by surprise!
Take a look at some footage from Moray Towers below.
