Level-5 releases special wallpaper, is forced to include the airplane from AeroPorter due to poll results
Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in 3DS, General Gaming, Images, News, Wii | 0 comments
Though I’m sure they don’t mind in the slightest, game developer/publisher Level-5 was recently forced to publish a special wallpaper with characters from many of their most popular franchises… as well as the airplane and the “porter” from AeroPorter! The 3DS download title apparently held a spot in the popularity poll that they put up to determine which characters would be drawn into the wallpaper, and so many people put down their vote for the non-living, metallic flight-body that Level-5 had to include it! The airplane managed to snag 46,263 votes, ahead of the second-place Inazuma character who pulled in 38,339, and the porter himself (a character with no face or personality, mind you) got ninth, with 17,889.

Dragon Quest X likely heading overseas, at least on PC
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
Dragon Quest X was released ages ago on Wii, and months ago on Wii U – in Japan, that is. Fans overseas have been waiting for any sort of word on a possible localization.
It does look like Square Enix will be following through on a western release – at least on PC.
When asked by Famitsu if an overseas Dragon Quest X launch is in the works, executive producer Yuu Miyake said:
“Of course. However, as for whether it’ll be run in the Dragon Quest style in the overseas market, every nation has its own play style and sensibilities, so I don’t think it’ll be a single game worldwide like with Final Fantasy 11.”
“This is just my personal viewpoint, but different countries consume their games at different speeds and the way the communities are run also differ. Even the way people enjoy seasonal events is different, so I think we need to divide the running of it by country or region. So we’re thinking about having separate servers for each country.”
Most people felt that by announcing Dragon Quest X for PC, the game had a better shot of coming overseas. However, whether the Wii U version (Wii is certainly not an option at this point) heads west remains to be seen.
Retailer lists Mickey Mouse, Frozen toys for Disney Infinity
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
No official announcements have been made, but additional toys for Disney Infinity appear to have been leaked through retailer listings.
Entries for Mickey Mouse and Frozen’s Anna and Elsa – since removed – were spotted on Micromania.fr. The retailer listed a November release date for all products.
Frozen could be getting its own Play Set in Disney Infinity, as a “Snow Queen Mission Pack” was discovered on Micromania.fr as well. Another Play Set based on Toy Story was recently discovered through an official video.
That’s not all – Disney also seems to be planning special “Crystal” versions of previously announced characters. These will be made available throughout the year.

Iwata: Wii Vitality Sensor launch “pending”, difficulty in timing announcements
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Podcast Stories, Wii | 0 comments
The launch of the Wii Vitality Sensor is “pending”, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has said.
Nintendo has been developing the accessory for a number of years, which was first announced during its E3 2009 press conference. Unfortunately, the Wii Vitality Sensor hasn’t performed up to expectations. It may work for 90 percent of consumers, but that’s simply not good enough.
Thus, Nintendo hasn’t “been able to launch it as a commercial product because we could not get it to work as we expected and it was of narrower application than we had originally thought.” In order for it to release, Iwata said: “We would like to launch it into the market if technology advancements enable 999 of 1,000 people to use it without any problems, not only 90 out of 100 people. I actually think that it must be 1,000 of 1,000 people, but (since we use the living body signal with individual differences) it is a little bit of a stretch to make it applicable to every single person.”
Iwata’s full statements from Nintendo’s investor briefing Q&A held last week:
