FIFA 14 for Wii is also just a kits/squads update
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
FIFA 14 isn’t heading to Wii U, but EA is churning out yet another release for Wii. Unfortunately, it’s more or less the same as FIFA 13, as is the case with the 3DS version.
An Amazon description detected by ONM indicates that FIFA 14 is just another kits/squads update, just like its handheld counterpart. That means no new modes, and no updates to the core gameplay.
Resident Evil 4’s action focus came from “commercial failure” of Resident Evil remake
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in GameCube, General Nintendo, News, Podcast Stories, Wii | 1 Comment
Resident Evil 4 adopted a fairly different approach than its predecessors. For the game’s development, Capcom decided to make the game more action-oriented.
This was a conscious decision made by Shinji Mikami, who was director of the project. Because the 2002 remake of Resident Evil was a “commercial failure”, Mikami wanted to emphasize gameplay as opposed to scaring players.
Mikami told IGN in a new interview:

Bully may not carry the same weight as Grand Theft Auto, but it’s very much loved among those who have played the game. A sequel is something that fans have requested for several years.
Rockstar isn’t working on a sequel – as far as we know. However, the company’s Dan Houser has interest in creating a follow-up.
Speaking with Polygon, Houser said:
“I know I want to. Well, hopefully, you never know. There’s a lot of directions I could go with that one, it’s funny.”

First Disney Infinity: Toy Story in Space Play Set details
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
Game Informer has the first details on Disney Infinity: Toy Story in Space in this month’s issue.
As the name suggests, the new Play Set places Buzz, Jessie, and Woody in a space setting. The three are looking to colonize a new planet that will act as the home for the three-eyed aliens found in vending machines.
After the base has been set up, the planet will be fitted with a hospital, clothing store, hatchery, and research center. Players will use these locations to help out the various aliens. As an example, you may find that an alien has eaten something it shouldn’t have, and will therefore need to be taken to the hospital.
There are also jetpack challenges, alien horse races, and a variety of platforming sections. Finish off certain missions to receive items such as a Star Command laser blaster, jet pack, hover pack. All of these rewards can be used in the Toy Box.
And what about Emperor Zurg? While he will show up in the new Play Set, his appearance could be limited to training-simulator exercises – at least based on Game Informer’s demo sampling.
