There’s been a very tricky topic making the rounds today. I’m not going to go into details here, but an exploit has been discovered involving OlliOlli’s cross-buy functionality.

Curve Digital, the game’s publisher, is definitely aware of what’s going on. The following tweet was just published on Curve’s Twitter account a short while ago:

We're flattered people are prepared to compromise their account security for a copy of OlliOlli on 3DS, but we wouldn't recommend it.

Curve Digital spokesperson Paul Watson also told Eurogamer:

“Before opting in to Nintendo’s Buy One Get One Free initiative, the company made clear that we could do it one of two ways, and both were potentially open to exploitation beyond our control. Despite this, we’re very happy with the cross-buy sales on Nintendo’s platforms so far, and will be taking part in the initiative again where possible.”

Poncho in the works for Wii U

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment

Poncho is making its way to Wii U, courtesy of Delve Interactive and Rising Star Games. A trailer can be found above.

Originally announced last year, Poncho is a new open-world, 2D platformer. Here’s an official overview:

Humanity has been extinct for centuries, leaving their robotic creations behind to fend for themselves. These robots have formed tribes and communities of their own, trying to make a way of life without purpose now their masters are gone.
On your journey, you will have to make some hard choices and ultimately decide the fate of humankind. With multiple areas and paths to explore, you’ll never be able to see everything in a single play through. Poncho is about making you feel like a kid again, exploring outside and looking under rocks to see what you find. There’s treasure in every nook and cranny in this world, and nothing is quite as it seems… There’s always more than one way to accomplish your goals.
