Pre-order Watch Dogs at GameStop, get an exclusive poster
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 1 Comment
GameStop is providing consumers with a new Watch Dogs pre-order incentive starting today. Those who reserve the game will receive an exclusive poster made by comic-book artist Alex Ross. Ubisoft says that the design “is the inspiration behind the game’s box art and captures the essence of Aiden Pearce, a modern-day vigilante who must rely as much on brains as brawn to take down threats in our increasingly connected world.”
You can get a first look at the Watch Dogs pre-order art above.

Kamiya: Wonderful 101 more about fun than game length, hopes people play it over and over
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
Looking for a 20 hour gaming experience on Wii U? Then you may not be too interested in The Wonderful 101.
Based on a recent tweet from director Hideki Kamiya, the Wii U title will be more about entertainment rather than length.
If u hate to finish a game the next day u buy it, u better not play TW101. I focus on how it is fun, not how long it lasts till the ending.
— ???? Hideki Kamiya (@PG_kamiya) April 27, 2013
Kamiya followed up his remark with a related fan question. When asked if The Wonderful is meant to be played a few times like Devil May Cry, he said: “I hope you enjoy it like that.”
I hope you enjoy it like that. RT @asmodeus77: So is TW101 meant to be played over and over like DMC?

Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in Features, Wii U | 0 comments
So many great games… but most of them aren’t out yet!

Just answer a required question, answer a non-required question (if you want) and make your voice heard in yet another NintendoEverything reader survey poll thing! Results will be read in the form of our top ten list on the next podcast, and if you opted to answer the written question your answer could be read on the show! So don’t say anything ridiculous.
Thanks very much. As stated above the question for you guys this week is “Which game(s) is your Wii U “system seller”?”
Batman: Arkham Origins details, Kevin Conroy apparently not reprising role as Batman
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Publications GamesMaster, Videogame, and NAG Magazine have revealed a new round of details about Batman: Arkham Origins. You can find a summary of their information below.
– Origins’ Batman is version 0.9 as opposed to Arkham City’s 5.0 Batman
– Warner Bros. Montreal feels it has made the coolest version of Deathstroke we’ve seen in media
– Important to make Batman scary again
– Thugs will show that they’re in awe of Batman and debate whether or not he’s human
– The team considered implementing robotic drones, but were cut since they didn’t want players involved with having to be defensive at all times during predator sections
– Gusts of wind from the dynamic weather system was considered as well, which saw thugs standing still and covering their eyes
– Idea was cut since it was difficult to control Batman
– Batman is impulsive, overconfident as he still has to encounter an opponent on par with his strength
– Batman is also clever, but doesn’t think of everything
– Ex: when interrogating a thug he can be dominated by violence and stun the thug before getting the information he wanted
– Batman will be affected psychologically by major difficulties he encounters during the game
– This changes him into the more realist and stoic Batman from the previous games
– Rupert Thorne is mentioned (as well as Falcone)
– Some of the 8 assassins will be side missions, and we will not be finished with them from the first encounter
– Unlock the location for the Batwing through an entire side mission
– For the mission, an unknown hacker has jammed the radio system and Batman needs to restore it
– New combat move: Batman can rush toward an enemy while knocking another one on his path
– Freeze boss fight from Arkham City is the main model for Origins boss fights
– According to NAG, Kevin Conroy will not be reprising his role as the Dark Knight in order to fit this younger version
