Will Reggie yell at Geoff again or will he check all the boxes and leave the competition in the dust? Find out live! Plus, the legend himself SHIGERU MIYAMOTO joins Geoff as well for a special chat about what’s new at Nintendo. Finally our friends from MEGA64 join us to discuss their thoughts on E3 so far and we show the first E3 demo of SONIC LOST WORLDS for the Wii-U.”

Slighty Mad Studios thinks it can cut into the racer audience on Wii U

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments

There is a distinct lack of racing simulators on the Wii U – or any racers for that matter. Aside from Need for Speed: Most Wanted U and Fast & Furious: Showdown, there isn’t much to choose from.

And Project Cars creative director Andy Tudor, while curious about whether the team can “cut into that audience”, believes “there’s a space to fill”.

Tudor told EDGE this month:

“You see the passion people have for Forza and Gran Turismo, and if you’re a publisher you wonder, ‘Are we really gonna cut into that audience?’ But we believe we can, especially on Wii U and PC, where there’s a space to fill.”

Ubisoft still believes in Wii U, says a single game can turn things around

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments

While Wii U support from third-parties dwindle, there’s one publisher that continues to take an active approach. Ubisoft has supported the console since launch and continues to put out some of its most-important games.

Much has been made about poor Wii U sales in recent months. However, Ubisoft EMEA exec director Alain Corre told MCV that just one game could turn the system around.

Corre said:

“It takes time for a machine to establish itself. We’ve seen in the past that when more games come, the console picks up. That is what we believe will happen for Wii U. There is a place in the market for each console, and with the right games Wii U will find its public and sell in the long-term.”
“One single game can change a platform’s fortunes – it happened for the DS, it happened for the Super Nintendo. I believe it can be the same for Wii U.”
