Spyborgs dev speaks about how the game was rushed, pre-beta version shipped in the US, rough Bionic/Capcom relationship
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 1 Comment
Former Bionic Games creative director Mike Stout has shared some incredibly interesting insight into the development of Spyborgs.
For those who are unaware, Spyborgs is Capcom’s Wii-exclusive title developed by Bionic Games. After its initial reveal, the project underwent a major overhaul following feedback from fans.
Stout says that Bionic had just six months to recreate its game from scratch for Capcom. Amazingly, Capcom ended up shipping an incomplete, pre-beta build in North America as the final version. Unlike Europe, the US received a game with untuned difficulty and companion AI that “just didn’t work.”
Stout also touched on the relationship between Bionic Games and Capcom. Sadly, both companies ended up treating each other very poorly.
You can find all of Stout’s tweets after the break. Please note that some of the messages contain strong lanauge.

Disney Interactive on why Disney Infinity 2.0 isn’t coming to Wii/3DS
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii | 5 Comments
Disney Infinity 2.0 is heading to Wii U, but not any other Nintendo system. Wondering why this is so?
“They chose the platforms that were able to support the features and top quality play experiences Disney wanted to deliver to gamers worldwide,” a Disney representative explained to NintendoWorldReport.
When Disney Infinity launched last year, it was made available for all three Nintendo platforms – Wii U, Wii, or 3DS. Wii U will be the only Nintendo-supported system this time around.
