Mass Effect writer confirms he’s writing for the new game in the series, says most folks probably didn’t mind the ending to ME3

– Mass Effect series writer Mac Walters
Walters also shared that he believed most players did not have a problem with the ending to Mass Effect 3, but rather a smaller group of very loud individuals took to the internet and caused something of a ruckus about it. I think some folks might disagree with that, but who knows… maybe those folks are part of the minority he’s talking about!?

You can’t make new posts through Miiverse’s web interface, can grab screenshots
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 0 comments
Miiverse launched for the PC (and some mobile devices) today. It does offer a number of functions made available through Wii U, but there are some drawbacks.
You can make posts through Miiverse’s newly-launched browser interface. The thing is, you can’t actually create new ones. It’s only possible to make comments by replying to others.
On the bright side, Miiverse now allows you to view and grab screenshots posted in communities and save them to your PC – a convenient function.
Nintendo president Satoru Iwata said during a financial results briefing today that Miiverse is in beta for PC and mobile devices. Over time, we’ll likely see additional features added to the interface.
Iwata discusses Wii U’s poor momentum
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
The Wii U has not been able to maintain any momentum. This is most apparent in the marketplace, where the console has struggled to sell worldwide.
Nintendo president Satoru Iwata discussed the Wii U’s lack of momentum during the company’s investors meeting earlier today. Iwata pointed to a few key issues like extended development of important first-party titles, consumer confusion, and slow release pace of games.
Iwata’s comments in full:
Nintendo to focus on Wii U’s 2013 games at E3
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 0 comments
Update: To clarify – Nintendo isn’t ditching E3 as a whole. It sounds like there won’t be a traditional conference, but they’ll still have a presence at the trade show. The media and analysts will be given a chance to try out upcoming games, for example.
A good portion of Nintendo’s Wii U titles confirmed for E3 are already known to the public. Mario’s 3D debut, Mario Kart, and Smash Bros. are among the games to be featured in some fashion.
Satoru Iwata commented briefly on Nintendo’s E3 plans during an investors meeting earlier today. Along with statements suggesting that a traditional press conference won’t be held, Iwata told attendees that the expo will be used as an opportunity to reveal details about Wii U games coming this year. Additionally, he cryptically said that Nintendo “will attempt to use this year’s E3 to make announcements in a new way that we have not tried before.”
“At this years E3 we will not be announcing a new hardware system, so E3’s primary mission will be to have [press, analysts] experience our software. Many people would like to know more about the titles for Wii U that will be announced. We will use the timing of E3 to focus on providing details about our Wii U titles for release this year, and intend to create opportunities for guests to the conference to experience them immediately. We will attempt to use this year’s E3 to make announcements in a new way that we have not tried before.”
