The Wii is out of stock at Amazon, BestBuy.com, Target.com, others

What?

The last time I heard the headline “Wii out of stock” was probably two years ago, so seeing this come up in my browser was understandably something of a surprise! Apparently it’s true though; several online retailers are reporting that the Wii is in backorder, despite the fact that it appears to be readily available in physical stores nationwide.

No idea why, but it’s true.

Dishonored dev talks vaguely about Wii U, says interface is important

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments

Dishonored co-creative director Harvey Smith was recently asked about Wii U. Unfortunately, Smith didn’t have much to say about the console.

He did speak a little about the importance of interface though. Smith feels that the Wii’s interface “reminds me that I’m struggling”, but hopes Nintendo will “have a better fix this time around”.

Smith showed some openness to working with new devices since they provide “a very fertile ground for exploring new ideas.” He additionally stated:

“Nintendo deserves accolades for that. I just don’t know how far the new console goes. I didn’t perceive what people’s excitement of the device was. I don’t know why, but it didn’t show up on my filter somehow.”

All of Smith’s comments are posted below.

Crysis 3 “a possibility” for Wii U, Crytek working with Nintendo, dual screen talk

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments

When we last heard about the possibility of Crysis 3 on Wii U, Crytek’s director of creative development Rasmus Hoejengaard basically said it wouldn’t happen. And more recently, founder and CEO Cevat Yerli indicated the studio has no plans for the platform.

Now Crytek is changing its tune a bit.

When Rasmus’ comments were brought up in an interview with Crytek games producer Mike Read, he noted that Crysis 3 “is a possibility” for Wii U, adding that the studio is “working with Nintendo”.
