Bayonetta 2 director reiterates interest in continuing the franchise
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 29 Comments
Bayonetta 2 director Yusuke Hashimoto has once again expressed interest in returning to the series for another game. That news comes from the latest issue of GamesMaster, which features a brief interview with Hashimoto.
In one question, GamesMaster asks about game sequels he’d like to work on. Hashimoto pointed to Bayonetta and how he’d like to create Bayonetta 3 – or even a spin-off.
Hashimoto said:
A sequel to a Platinum title… I’d have to say Bayonetta 3. I have all kinds of ideas in my head for how to expand the world of Bayonetta in even more sequels, or maybe a spin-off!
This isn’t the first time Hashimoto has talked about making another Bayonetta-related title. Last June, before Bayonetta 2 even hit store shelves, he spoke about a desire to continue “nurturing” the IP. We’ve also heard from Hideki Kamiya (the director of Bayonetta 1) about wanting to make a spin-off for 3DS featuring Jeanne.

Rumor: Rayman coming to Smash Bros. Wii U and 3DS as DLC
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Rumors, Wii U | 103 Comments
Are Nintendo and Bandai Namco working on another DLC character for Super Smash Bros. on Wii U and 3DS? That’s what the latest rumor suggests.
Rumors about Rayman appearing in Smash Bros. first appeared on 4chan, as several alleged images surfaced earlier today. That has now been followed up with a brief video – though Rayman still hasn’t been shown in battle.
I’ve been trying to take a “wait and see” approach with this round of speculation. Since the video above has surfaced, it does seem more likely that the rumor holds true. But again: nothing is confirmed. And as I always tend to say, maintain some skepticism unless Nintendo makes an announcement.
Nintendo TVii cancelled in Europe
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 14 Comments
Nintendo TVii is no longer happening in Europe. A message posted to the official Nintendo of Europe website confirms the cancellation.
In its notice, Nintendo cites the “extremely complex nature of localising multiple television services across a diverse range of countries with varied licensing systems” as the reason for not releasing the Wii U application in European territories.
Nintendo’s full message reads:
At Nintendo of Europe, we continue to challenge ourselves to develop a range of entertaining experiences for all to enjoy. Due to the extremely complex nature of localising multiple television services across a diverse range of countries with varied licensing systems, regrettably we have taken the decision not to launch the Nintendo TVii service within the European region. Although on this occasion we did not anticipate such challenges, we will always strive to develop a range of entertaining experiences for all our users to enjoy.
With this in mind, Nintendo of Europe has launched the Nintendo Anime Channel, a new video-on-demand service on Nintendo 3DS which offers users the chance to stream anime series from the likes of Pokémon, Kirby, and Inazuma Eleven. New content will be added regularly and access to this service is granted simply by downloading a free application from Nintendo eShop.

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 6 Comments
Some new information has surfaced regarding amiibo functionality in both Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker and Mario Party 10 thanks to Nintendo’s German website. As it turns out, all figures will be compatible with the two games.
For Captain Toad, players will be able to obtain 1-UPs by placing amiibo on the GamePad. Mario Party 10, meanwhile, provides scratch tickets by using amiibo. This grants you some Mario Party points.

Project Ukulele art
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 6 Comments
Project Ukulele – the Banjo Kazooie spiritual successor from Playtonic – is featured in this month’s EDGE. The magazine shares concept art, which you can find above.
In the magazine, Playtonic lead and Gavin Price said: “There’s been so much pent-up passion for doing something like this, because we’ve all been sat on a lot of these ideas since Banjo-Tooie came out.”
The next step for Playtonic is to make a proof-of-concept. The company will then upscale to an “N64-size” team of between 10 to 15 staff, and several former Rare employees are in waiting on these positions.
