[REVIEW] Cloudberry Kingdom (Wii U)
Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in Features, Reviews, Wii U | 1 Comment
System: Nintendo Wii U
Release Date: August 1st, 2013
Developer: Pwnee Studios
Publisher: Ubisoft
Author: Austin
It’s not often that a developer’s very first game manages to be both picked up by a big-name publisher and given some fairly significant attention prior to launching, but in the case of Pwnee Studios’ “Cloudberry Kingdom”, that indeed happened. Citing the plump plumber himself as inspiration, Cloudberry attempts to bring players along for a 2D platforming journey comparable to the best of them, and amid some lofty aspirations and interesting gameplay decisions, it’s clear that Pwnee Studios– although perhaps not masters just yet– knows how to put together a solid experience, and one worthy of your time.

Ubisoft has an end in mind for Assassin’s Creed
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 1 Comment
Assassin’s Creed has been an ongoing series since 2007. We’ve seen plenty of games and numerous stories. But even though the franchise continues to expand with more plots, Ubisoft does have some ideas churning when it comes to Assassin’s Creed’s end.
Assassin’s Creed IV game director Ashraf Ismail told Eurogamer:
“We have multiple development teams, then we have the brand team that sits on top and is filled with writers and designers concerned with the series’ overall arc. So there is an overall arc, and each iteration has its place inside this. We have an idea of where the end is, what the end is. But of course Yves [Guillemot, Ubisoft’s overall boss] announced we are a yearly title, we ship one game a year. So depending on the setting, depending on what fans want, we’ve given ourselves room to fit more in this arc. But there is an end.”
Ismail also spoke about how letting different Ubisoft teams handle the for hints to be placed in the different Assassin’s Creed releases:
“We’re now able to seed stuff earlier and earlier in our games. So for example in [AC4] we have Edward, who was seeded in AC3. But there’s a lot more stuff in our game that is hinting at other possibilities.”
Batman: Arkham Origins dated for Japan, Blackgate 3DS not coming over
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 3 Comments
It’s been a strange week for Batman: Arkham Origins on Nintendo platforms. First we heard that the Wii U version wouldn’t include multiplayer. Now we’ve learned that Batman: Arkham Origins – Blackgate 3DS (the handheld companion to Origins on consoles) won’t be releasing in Japan.
To be clear, Blackgate is still coming to Japan. But for some unknown reason, Warner Bros. is only bringing the PS Vita version over. The 3DS game is nowhere to be found in any of the recent Japanese announcements.
In other news, all versions of Batman: Arkham Origins (console and portable) have been dated for Japan. The title will be out on December 5. Warner Bros. will be making Deathstroke DLC available to players on Wii U, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 as a limited bonus.
