Ubisoft pleased with Wii U software sales relative to install base, thinks Rayman Legends will “be a huge system seller”
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
Wii U console sales may be slumping a bit, but Ubisoft – one of the system’s biggest supporters – doesn’t seem to be worried about the performance of its own software. Relative to the Wii U’s install base, Ubisoft France head Xavier Poix said that the company is not disappointed.
The next big Wii U game from Ubisoft will be Rayman Legends, which is due out in September. It may not be an exclusive any longer, but Poix and Ubisoft as a whole “expect Rayman to be a huge system seller on the console.”
“We don’t have any disappointments compared to the installed base. We are just hoping that Nintendo’s results for Wii U will be a bit bigger, like Iwata-san said. Selling a new way of playing can take some time, and we know the power of the brands from Nintendo and we know from the fans that the majority of what will be the system sellers are not yet available. And on our side, Rayman will be one of them for sure. We really expect Rayman to be a huge system seller on the console.”
Young Justice: Legacy coming to Wii U and 3DS, boxart
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 0 comments
A small Wii U announcement slipped under the radar earlier this month. In its latest financial results, Majesco Entertainment confirmed that Young Justice: Legacy will be heading to the console. It’ll joins the previously revealed PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions. A 3DS edition is on the way, too, according to the Little Orbit’s Facebook page.
Young Justice: Legacy was originally announced for Wii and DS with a release planned for September. Little Orbit now says that the title is officially set for the Xbox 360, PS3, 3DS, Wii U, and PC. Legacy has been pushed back to an unspecified date, but the studio claims that the delay is not at all related to theĀ cancellationĀ of the animated series.
The change in the street date has nothing to do with the current status of the show, this decision was made by Little Orbit. We realize this sounds like a long way off, and we would like to apologize for the long wait. We take the game very seriously, and the decision to push the title back was difficult.
We didn’t know it when we named the title, but as the show airs its final episodes, “Young Justice: Legacy” has taken on an entirely new meaning for the fans.
Many of fans have also asked about the hardware platforms, which have shifted around a little. At launch the game will be available on Microsoft X360, Sony PS3, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo Wii-U, and PC on Steam.
Little Orbit has also given a look at Young Justice: Legacy’s box shot. Take a look at the art below:
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate UK sales: 45% on Wii U, 55% on 3DS
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 0 comments
An interesting stat from Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate’s debut sales in the UK: 45% of sales were generated from the Wii U version while 55% were collected from the 3DS release. Combined, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate reached the 7th spot on the latest UK charts. Not bad at all, given that some view the series as niche and more Japanese-centric.

Shovel Knight dev would love to have local multiplayer, but says we shouldn’t get our hopes up
Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
It may just be a pipe dream for now, but Shovel Knight developer Yacht Club Games’ Sean Valesco would love to have some form of local multiplayer in their upcoming sidescroller. After the The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords was mentioned to Valesco at PAX East this week by Destructoid editor Jonathan Holmes, he got pretty excited:
– Yacht Club Games’ Sean Valesco
Yacht Club Games probably wants to make it clear that this isn’t a hint at anything, nor is there any real chance this could make it in at this point. It’s just a dream that they may try, and may put into Shovel Knight down the line. Or they might not, and we’ll never hear of it again.
Keep your hopes in check!
Fez would only happen on Wii U if Nintendo paid for and ported the game
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
Fez won’t be coming to the 3DS. You can count the game out for Wii U as well.
Creator Phil Fish is still tweeting away, and wrote on his page a few hours ago that a Wii U port of Fez would only happen “if Nintendo paid for and handled the port themselves.”
Fish’s tweet:
the only way a FEZ WII U port could happen is if nintendo paid for and handled the port themselves. which i highly doubt will ever happen.

Miyamoto a Ghostbusters fan, 3D vs. HD, secret Facebook page, theme-park “not an impossibility”, more
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
ABC has published a series of interviews with Shigeru Miyamoto, but this may be one of the most interesting discussions we’ve seen over the past few weeks. Miyamoto talked about Ghostbusters (he’s a fan, but it didn’t lead to Luigi’s Mansion), how Nintendo decides between putting a game on the 3DS (3D) or Wii U (HD), his secret Facebook page, and the possibility of a theme-park (it could happen one day, maybe).
As always, you can find all of Miyamoto’s responses below.
