Gearbox says ‘Aliens’ lawsuit claiming false advertising is “beyond meritless”

– Gearbox Statement
They’re sort of obligated to say this because they’re being sued and they don’t want to lose the case, but I wonder if they have a point. They should definitely be allowed to share a work in progress… but if the work in progress looks so much better than the final product? I don’t know! Maybe, maybe not. I’m not much for legalese.
A few, official Shadow of the Eternals details, footage next week
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Since Shadow of the Eternals’ leak, Precursor Games has shared a few, official details about its game.
The crowdfunding campaign will officially begin on Monday. Precursor will be looking to raise $1.5 million – not $1.1 million as originally thought – for a total of 12 episodes. Numerous stretch goals will be included.
Precursor’s “primary goal for Shadow of the Eternals is to raise 1.5M dollars. Any money raised beyond this will contribute to stretch goals that go beyond the first episode, including future episodes, additional characters, additional platforms and in-game perks. The more money that we raise, the more we can deliver, which is a win for everyone.”
Wii Fit U trademark abandoned, but probably doesn’t mean much
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
In news that probably doesn’t matter, the Wii Fit U trademark was abandoned in the US late last month. Nintendo failed to response/had a late response with the USPTO. The new response deadline should be set around late May.
Honestly, this isn’t something to get worked up about. While it’s an interesting discovery, I think we all know that Wii Fit U won’t be ditched.

Following up on his article published on CVG earlier today, Rob Crossley added on Twitter a short while ago that “there are some really special things lined up for Wii U.” Christmas will be an “interesting” time for the console, Crossley says.
But genuinely, there are some really special things lined up for Wii U. Really interesting Xmas for all

What we’re referring to, of course, is CVG’s report that Mario’s new 3D adventure for Wii U will be available by October. The site also claims that Nintendo is getting ready to promote its console through a big and global marketing campaign.
Rumor: Mario 3D hitting Wii U by October, Nintendo gearing up for big global marketing campaign
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Podcast Stories, Rumors, Wii U | 0 comments
CVG has posted a smattering of Wii U rumors today, led by speculation that Mario’s debut 3D outing for the console will be available by October.
The site says that it has had talks “with retail chains at the executive level”. One of its sources claims that Nintendo has been intentionally holding back on some of its games such as Pikmin 3, The Wonderful 101, and Wii Fit U, so that it can come out strong in the second half of 2013. However, a separate source denies this to be the case.

EA won’t say if FIFA is coming to Wii U or not
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
EA recently said that there are no plans to bring Madden NFL 14 to Wii U. But what of FIFA 14, which also has yet to be confirmed for the system?
When asked by Eurogamer about the company’s plans, EA Sports said:
“We are only showcasing features for X360, PS3 and PC now. News about other platforms will be revealed in the months ahead.”
Well… FIFA 14 hasn’t been ruled out for Wii U, technically. That’s at least semi-positive…
