Sakaguchi also tweeted on his own Japanese Twitter account that The Last Story has been in development for three and a half years. However, the concept for the game was born almost four years ago. For a project that has been in development so long, one would hope that The Last Story lives up to fans’ expectations! Likewise, I’m sure Sakaguchi is hoping that the title sells well and that it is well received.

“We are working on a [3DS] title that – cross your fingers – will be out within the launch window. That’s not going to be an easy task.”

Neuse also told the magazine that the Bit.Trip series will not end with Bit.Trip Flux, though he has nothing specific to share as of yet.

Super Meat Boy no longer coming to WiiWare, “looking grim” for retail as well

Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Wii | 0 comments

This information comes from the Super Meat Boy Twitter…

“ATTENTION: there will not be a Wiiware version of SMB. we are looking in to retail Wii, bit its also looking grim. still looking though. no publishers we talk to say wii retail doesnt make enough money for them to invest. there is still a chance, i dont want to say no till we know for sure there is no chance of it happening”

Man, it’s unbelievable what has happened with the WiiWare version of Super Meat Boy. I feel like the game was announced for the platform ages ago! Xbox 360 owners have been playing it for a couple of months now while Wii owners aren’t even sure if they will be eventually be able to purchase the title. Going to retail really does seem like the only other possible option, but things aren’t looking promising.

Evening discussion: Black Ops Wii online problems?

Posted on 13 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in Uncategorized, Wii | 0 comments

I’m hijacking the site for 2 seconds here because I just noticed something really quite silly. And because I know I can do it without getting in trouble. But mostly the first reason.

As I was updating our sister site, GamingEverything, I noticed yet another post about gamers complaining that their Call of Duty: Black Ops copies aren’t working online, despite numerous patches by Treyarch attempting to fix the issues. Every time I’ve posted these types of posts, I never really paid much mind because I personally have had no issues with the online in the game, but then I also realized: No one is really complaining about the Wii version. All the bugs are in the PS360 version of the game!

Sort of ironic considering how the Wii is generally considered an inherently worse piece of online tech… Anyone here experiencing major Wii Black Ops problems? Do you also find it sort of funny that the Wii version works fine? Discuss with me, my lovely readers.

The Last Story details

Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments

– 30 hours play time first time through the game
– Amount will vary if players redo quests/revisit dungeons
– Sakaguchi had hoped to make a game with a good tempo and a feeling of “denseness” about the story
– 12,000 lines of in-game voiced dialogue
– That number was more than Sakaguchi expected
– Can go online after arriving at the first save point
– Character’s level and how much you’ve strengthened your weapons are reflected during the online group boss battle, so you may want to do a bit of single-player first
– Battle royal mode only carries your physical appearance, not level and weapon strength
– Team battle royal mode online
– Online: random matches, play against someone you don’t know, play with friends, play with those with whom you’ve exchanged friend codes
– Replay single-player will all items in tact
– Team is balancing the game for second play throughs, will have specific drop items
– Many details at the game’s conference on the 27th
