DIESEL raises claim against DieselStormers trademark
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 3 Comments
Black Forest Games posted a very interesting message on Twitter earlier today. In it, the studio said that the law department for DIESEL – a jeans company – sent a letter about an impending lawsuit for the IP DieselStormers.
Black Forest’s tweet reads:
Today we received a letter from the DIESEL law department informing us about an impending law suit regarding our IP DieselStörmers.

We followed up about this and were told that, after applying for the DieselStormers IP, Black Forest was informed about a claim raised by DIESEL against the trademark because it might led to customer irritation. Black Forest says the only remotely fashion-related picture the company has is the one above, which makes this all the more stranger.
Black Forest’s legal team is currently looking into the case. The studio hopes that the situation will be resolved peacefully.

Kotaku also has a small write up about The Swapper. According to the site, Curve redid the controls for the GamePad so that the game now includes a touch-only mode and control-stick options. Kotaku also states that the Wii U version is “better looking than the upcoming PS3 version, preserving the PC original’s depth of field.”
Finally, Curve mentioned earlier today that The Swapper will be hitting Wii U later this year. Kotaku has the title pinned down for a November release.

Rivyd Incorporated working on Kenji: Rise of a Hero for the Wii U eShop
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Rivyd Incorporated has announced a Wii U eShop exclusive, Kenji: Rise of a Hero.
Kenji: Rise of a Hero is a single-player title intended for “advance players, or beginners that want to better their game”. Rivyd says it will be “one of the most difficult games to date for the Wii U”.
Not much has been shared thus far, though the main character is based on Rivyd’s Hiram Jaden Maldonad. We also have the following information on Kenji’s back story:
The design of Kenji reflects Hiram in just about every way, down to the clothing. When first created, Kenji had an initial design but no name. Hiram Decided to name Kenji after “Mike Kenji Shinoda” a vocalist and keyboard player in the rock group Linkin Park. The decision came after the fact that Kenjis design was just completed, and Hiram was listening to “Kenji” by “Mike Kenji Shinoda”. Hiram decided to go with a monkey, due to the fact that Hiram was born June 4th, 1992 which happened to fall on the year of the monkey on the Chinese Zodiac. The clothes Kenji bears are the same garments you will always see Hiram with. The three spikes on his head represent a “Mohawk” Hiram use to have. You can also see that Kenji’s design shares certain things in common with a lot of Hiram’s favorite video game characters.
“I really wanted to establish a connection with my character. Kenji represents just about everything about me. That tends to make it a lot easier when writing the story or any scripts. Rather than thinking what a character would do or say, I think about what I would do or say in that situation.”
Kenji: Rise of a Hero will launch on November 25.
