No Need for Speed: Rivals for Wii U due to poor sales of Most Wanted
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 8 Comments
Last year’s Need for Speed game, Most Wanted, landed on Wii U earlier this year as a late (but impressive) port. The same can’t be said of this year’s release, Rivals.
Rivals’ non-appearance on Wii U can be attributed to one reason: sales. Creative director Craig Sullivan provided the TSA with the following explanation regarding the decision to leave the platform out of the mix this year:

[REVIEW] Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director’s Cut
Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in Features, Platforms, Reviews, Wii U | 18 Comments
System: Nintendo Wii U
Release Date: October 22nd, 2013 (NA)
Developer: Eidos Montreal
Publisher: Square Enix
Author: Austin
Some games like to take themselves extremely seriously. Deus Ex: Human Revolution is one of those games.
The non-director’s cut (editor’s cut?) of this particular Eidos title came out back in 2011, and at the time it had not a home on a Nintendo console, which meant that folks who aligned themselves exclusively with the big N missed out on the game. When Square Enix saw the Wii U, apparently they also saw an opportunity to release an updated version of the game to a new audience– tag-lined “Director’s Cut”– and test the third party waters on this latest home console and its strange controller.
Roughly 7 months after the initial announcement, the game is out, and there’s good news: It’s pretty dang good.

Aonuma suggests he wanted to announce something relating to Zelda Wii U at Comic Con, preparing to show “something new” soon
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 12 Comments
Eiji Aonuma recently stated he would “say more” about Zelda Wii U at next year’s E3. But apparently, he originally intended to make an announcement earlier this month.
The news comes from a recent interview Aonuma conducted with German publication Gameswelt TV. Translations of his comments suggest that he had hoped to share news at the New York Comic Con, but was too preoccupied preparing for his presentation. Aonuma ended up telling Gameswelt, “As soon as I am back at my office I will start preparing something new that I can show.”

Amazon lists Wii U version of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 for $50, 3DS for $30
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 0 comments
Amazon has already put up listings
for Activision’s The Amazing Spider-Man 2 video game. Apparently, it’ll be priced lower on Nintendo platforms.
Amazon currently has the Wii U version priced at $49.99 while other console versions are set at $59.99. Also worth mentioning, the 3DS version of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 will only cost $29.99
. Most 3DS titles tend to cost $39.99.
These could be generous or tentative listings by Amazon, so you may as well as pre-order now if you have any interest. Then again, perhaps Activision has actually decided to set the price of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 $10 lower on Nintendo platforms.
