Straight Right wants to keep making Wii U games, has 3DS interest
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 0 comments
Straight Right, the developer behind Mass Effect 3 on Wii U, would like to continue making games for the platform going forward. The studio also has interest in working with Nintendo’s other main system at the moment: the 3DS.
CEO Tom Crago said the following when discussing Straight Right’s future:
“We can’t talk about what we’re working on right now, but we certainly hope to be able to develop more titles for Wii U. On the subject of Nintendo platforms, we’re also really interested in the 3DS. It’d be fun to do something there in the next year or so too.”
We do know that Straight Right is porting a AAA Square Enix game to Wii U, which has long been rumored to be Deus Ex: Human Revolution. I wonder when the project will finally be announced…

Nintendo to release new Pikmin video shorts before Pikmin 3 launch
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
Nintendo is creating a number of new animated shorts based on the Pikmin franchise. Shigeru Miyamoto is personally overseeing the videos’ development, which are planned for release ahead of Pikmin 3’s arrival.
According to Miyamoto:
“They’ll be released sometime before the release of Pikmin 3. Possibly as a Nintendo video. If they’re popular we could consider selling them.”
Miyamoto developed a number of mock-ups with the 3DS’ Flipnote Studio app (why isn’t this out yet?!), and teamed up with an external animation studio to create the shorts. Some members of the press were given a sneak peak look at one of the clips which was directed by Miyamoto himself.

Rumor: New Crash Bandicoot in the works, heading to Wii U
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Podcast Stories, Rumors, Wii U | 0 comments
Let’s get this out of the way: take the rumor below with a huge grain of salt. Now that that’s out of the way, we can proceed!
Rumor has it that a countdown for a new Crash Bandicoot game launched preemptively before being pulled. Someone took a screenshot that is oddly low-quality and off-screen (already raising a red flag), which shows that the project is coming to “PlayStation”, Xbox 360, and Wii U.
Vicarious Visions is supposedly behind the new Crash Bandicoot. In January, a possible redesign for the character was spotted in an official photo from the studio, though there hasn’t been any official news concerning the IP.
Could there actually be a new Crash Bandicoot on the way? Or is this nothing more than a disappointing rumor?
