Level-5 reveals new RPG “Wonder Flick”
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 2 Comments
Level-5 announced a new game titled “Wonder Flick” during its Vision event in Japan today… and it’s coming out on almost every major platform.
Wonder Flick is a brand new touch-centric RPG with some pretty major talent. Level 5 CEO Akihiro Hino is directing, Nobuo Uematsu is working on the game’s music, Nao Ikeda is in charge of character designs, and Takuz? Nagano from the Professor Layton franchise is designing boss creatures.
It sounds like save data can be shared between platforms. Additionally, each version will apparently have its own unique dungeon.
Wonder Flick is scheduled to launch on Wii U, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, PS Vita, Xbox One, and iOS/Android. It’s due out on mobile platforms this November, followed by dedicated gaming platforms in 2014.

I’m never doing two Eggbusters in one week again. I nearly died trying to get these out even remotely on time I think! But they turned out pretty good.
If you’ve never played LEGO City Undercover, I still suggest checking out the video. It’s one of my new favorite episodes!

How does Nintendo’s new GamePad battery measure up?
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 4 Comments
Nintendo released an enhanced GamePad battery in Japan a few weeks ago. How does it perform? Japanese publication Game Watch put the new battery to the test earlier this month
The original GamePad battery was sitting at 1500mAh, but the new large-capacity battery pack is about 1.7 times stronger at 2550mAh. And whereas the original had an operating time of about 3-5 hours, the new one is said to last between 5-8 hours.
Game Watch set the GamePad’s brightness to the highest point, all power-saving methods were turned off, vibration was turned on, and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate’s opening movie was played on full blast. In this state, Dengeki measured the amount of time until the controller powered down from a complete depletion of battery life.
The results were pretty encouraging, as the GamePad lasted 5 hours and 12 minutes. Previously, the original battery would last about 3 hours in this state.
We should mention that the size of the battery pack is about 1.5 times bigger than the original, so where the original sits vertically in the back of the GamePad, the newer and bigger battery fits perfectly sideways. It just barely fits into the back of the controller.

Team Ninja willing to work with Wii U again, no plans to port existing games as of now
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 4 Comments
Team Ninja and Nintendo have formed what seems like a pretty good relationship over the past few years. The studio produced Metroid: Other M for Wii, and last year delivered Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge in time for the Wii U’s launch.
Having said that, Team Ninja has been quiet when it comes to Nintendo’s console as of late. Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z – a new game being produced in conjunction with Comcept and Spark Unlimited – won’t be heading to Wii U. While Team Ninja is very much open to working with the system again, studio head Yosuke Hayashi told Joystiq that the company currently has “no plans to port existing games to Wii U.”
“Of course, I think there are games that would be good for Wii U. So I think we need to still see what exactly those games they are and how you make a game for Wii U that is perfect for the Wii U. So if we get a chance to make a game like that, well, maybe we can think about it then. But right now we have no plans to port existing games to Wii U.”
