LEGO City: Undercover are two very different games on the Wii U and 3DS, but that doesn’t mean we can’t compare them, right?
Was a game cancelled for Wii U’s launch?
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii U | 0 comments
Hot on the heels of speculation regarding new functionality for the eShop and Virtual Console, Emily Rogers has posted a rumor about a cancelled Wii U title.
Rogers tweeted:
I may even talk about a game that got cancelled for Wii U’s launch.I’ll get Eatchildren and another Gaf mod on board with this.

Emily Rogers has had a fairly reliable track record, so it wouldn’t be surprising if this was the real deal. Hopefully we’ll learn more about the situation soon.

A.N.N.E could come to Wii U if stretch goal is reached
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Today, Gamesbymo launched a Kickstarter for a new game known as “A.N.N.E”.
The Metroidvania-esque platformer could make its way to the Wii U eShop if a stretch goal is reached. Gamesbymo is seeking $180,000 in funding, which is quite significant, but perhaps possible with enough support.
There’s an overview of A.N.N.E. in the video above. You can find more information on the Kickstarter page here.
Nintendo to bring back gifting, 3DS/Wii U VC sharing?
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
Update: Our guess was correct, somewhat. Rogers has now clarified:
Nintendo looking at possibly to bring back gifting, do a feature where some of your Wii U VC games can be playable on 3DS, and vice versa.
— Emily Rogers (@Emi1yRogers) April 22, 2013
The ever-reliable Emily Rogers has tweeted a couple of interesting notes regarding future features for the eShop and Virtual Console. Rogers wouldn’t say much, but did tease that “There may come a time in the future when owning both a Wii U and 3DS will become beneficial.”
When it comes to eShop/VC, I think you’ll see some features in future firmware updates that people really want before end of this year.

Here’s a hint without giving anything away. There may come a time in the future when owning both a Wii U and 3DS will become beneficial.
— Emily Rogers (@Emi1yRogers) April 22, 2013
Perhaps Nintendo could be working on a cross-buy option for Virtual Console titles? As in, if you buy one VC game on the Wii U, you’d get its counterpart for free (or at a reduced price) on the 3DS and vice versa? Just a guess!
CVG teases positive Wii U news
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
CVG published an article earlier today talking about how the positive performance of the 3DS as of late may be a sign of better things to come for the Wii U. Towards the end of the piece, Rob Crossley teases something… interesting for the console.
He wrote:
“Which brings me to the Wii U. Regulars at CVG might be aware that I talk down the console’s chances in the most definitive language possible whenever asked. Well, from the things I’m hearing, there’s a chance I’ll soon be added to the reject bin of crazy talking twitter twonks pretty soon.
“Hopefully, if we obtain further details from our sources, we’ll be in a position to explain more to you soon. But, for now, put it this way: In the past two years there have been moments of disquiet regarding the 3DS and – like an instant magic trick – Nintendo has put an end to this with sudden reveals of significant games that went on to become star performers at Christmas.”
Hmm… what could Crossley be talking about here? You have my attention, CVG!
Thanks to Paul S.T.L for the tip.
