Asda drops Wii U price for a second time
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Update: Just to be clear, reader Craig tells us that after contacting the retailer, they explained that the price reduction was initiated due to a lack of profit from the stock and needing to make back some money. So this wasn’t so much a move to boost Wii U sales as it was to help out Asda.
Just as it did in May, Asda has dropped the Wii U’s price for a second time. It’s a pretty major cut – the Premium Set is now available for £199. The Basic Set, on the other hand, is just £149.99.
This isn’t a universal official price drop, but it goes to show that retailers are more than willing to host a big sale for the Wii U in light of struggling sales.

Splinter Cell: Blacklist puts an emphasis on stealth
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Splinter Cell: Conviction, the last game in the series, didn’t emphasize stealth as much as previous titles. Longtime players won’t have to worry about a dearth of stealth elements with Splinter Cell: Blacklist, however.
Speaking with VideoGamer, creative director Maxime Béland assured fans that Blacklist primary focus is indeed stealth, stating:
“The [game’s] economy system is balanced to push you towards [playing stealth]. If you play Assault, or if you play clumsy, you’re going to make some money and if you play Panther, you’re going to be making more and be rewarded more.” Béland said.
“If you play Ghost, it’s harder: not being detected is really hard. You need to be conscious of the environment, you need to listen well… but you’re going to be making a shit load more money if you’re playing [that way]. I’m hoping regardless what your play style you’ll come in and [start] gravitating towards Ghost.”
