SEGA still not talking Aliens: Colonial Marines Wii U
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Aliens: Colonial Marines has officially been delayed on Wii U. April has arrived, and as some of you may remember, the game had been scheduled for March.
Meanwhile, SEGA continues to keep quiet regarding the status of Colonial Marines on Wii U. When pressed for an update, a representative said:
“Still no comment on ACM, sorry!”
I really wonder at this point: does anyone even care if the Wii U version of Aliens gets canned?

A complete rundown of Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director’s Cut new elements
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
Along with today’s Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director’s Cut trailer, Square Enix passed along a comprehensive listing of the game’s new elements. It’s quite extensive, covering featuring such as unique GamePad implementation and more.
We’ve posted the full rundown below.
Total Game Immersion
• You ARE Adam Jensen. The GamePad is Jensen’s Neural Hub, one of his implanted augmentations and possibly his most powerful tool.
• The “in-game” menus are now toolkits; they feel like part of the game flow and one of Adam Jensen’s augmentations.
• Tongs’s Rescue mission and the entire Missing Link chapter have been integrated seamlessly into the narrative flow of the Director’s Cut.
• Original pre-order and other bonus weapons are now at Jensen’s disposal.

GameStop believes in Wii U, says it will pick up with first-party arrivals
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
GameStop may be disappointed in the Wii U’s performance over the past few months, but that doesn’t mean the retailer has given up on Nintendo’s system.
Following GameStop’s latest earnings call, CEO J. Paul Raines chatted with GamesIndustry about a few topics including the Wii U. Raines noted that the company believes “Wii U is a real console that’s been disappointing for a couple months”, though said “there’s more there when the first-party titles come out.”
“This industry has a lot of cynicism and people love to say stuff isn’t going to work, but we think the Wii U is a real console that’s been disappointing for a couple months, but we think there’s more there when the first-party titles come out. Nintendo’s got a few up their sleeve.”
Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director’s Cut improvements staying on Wii U
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
We’ve already seen one instance in which a company created an improved version of an older game for Wii U, only to re-release it later on its original platforms (see Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge). Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director’s Cut is somewhat similar in that numerous changes and additions have made their way to the Wii U game.
But when it comes to the new Deus Ex version, it doesn’t sound like the Director’s Cut content will be coming to other platforms. Game designer Emile Pedneault told Penny Arcade Report recently that the title’s enhanced visuals, reworked bosses, and other elements aren’t planned for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC – for now, anyway.
