Protocol heading to “new to-be-confirmed platform”
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
Sabarasa announced Protocol over two years ago. The company didn’t provide a whole lot of details about the project, but it was intended to be an online/offline shooter for WiiWare.
A couple of years later, Sabarasa has confirmed that Protocol won’t be releasing no the Wii Shop Channel. It’s now planned for a “new to-be-confirmed platform.” Maybe it’ll head to the Wii U eShop?

Nintendo helped with ‘The Last Story’
Posted on 13 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in News, Wii | 0 comments
“There were a whole lot of requests from Mario Club. All the requests that we got were spot on. They really know what they’re talking about, because they have a lot of skill and knowledge. In a way, what we created was fine, but it was still rough around the edges. But I think by going through Nintendo, it really took out the unnecessary parts and refined it as a game.
Refinement is one of the most important aspects. The Nintendo influence was big, in a good way; at the same time it gave me confidence that if I really pushed my boundaries harder, then I can get to this level on my own.” ~ Takuya Matsumoto
It doesn’t surprise me at all that Nintendo lent a hand, given that a lot was expected of this game and they NEEDED something good to keep the Wii going even a tiny bit. Not that it’s really going at all, anyhow…
