[Feature] Nintendo Everything’s 2013 Game of the Year Picks
Posted on 10 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in 3DS, Features, Wii U | 5 Comments
To make an argument against the thesis that 2013 was one of the all-time best years in gaming would be a foolhardy activity. The year saw the release of instant-classics like The Last of Us and Super Mario 3D World, as well as world-stoppers like Grand Theft Auto V and Pokémon X and Y— Zelda made a big comeback on 3DS alongside Fire Emblem, and after years of no news we finally saw the release of Pikmin 3 on Wii U. An intro paragraph like this– no matter how densely packed– could never do justice the year we’ve had, so let’s let the staff of NintendoEverything do it instead.
After the break, you’ll hear from Brian (site admin and boss man), Austin (podcast man and writer guy), Jack (podcast man and writer guy), Spencer (writer guy), Patrick (writer guy) and Scott (video guy) about what they all found to be their absolute favorite games of 2013. Consider this list primarily subjective.
WayForward cancelled “Pictionary Universe” for Wii U
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 2 Comments
WayForward was once working on a pictionary title for Wii U, according to the LinkedIn profile of gameplay engineer Brian Valdillez.
Valdillez mentions “Pictionary Universe” on his CV, which was on track for release in 2012. The game “implemented rudimentary functionality with recording and replay capabilities designed for uploading to Miiverse.”
Sadly, Pictionary Universe won’t be seeing the light of day. Valdillez lists the project as “cancelled” on his LinkedIn profile.
