According to the LinkedIn profile of games director Armando Soto, WayForward has a new multiplatform title in the works. An unannounced project is on the way to the Wii U, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.

This doesn’t seem to be Mighty Switch Force HD. I also wouldn’t bet any money on the possibility of it being a new Shantae.

Guess we’ll just have to wait this one out…

Pixel Entertainment clarifies Starbeast project, has 3DS eShop game in the works

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments

Pixel Entertainment has sent us some information clarifying the development of Starbeast and the studio’s other projects.

Starbeast is said to be in a “very early stage in development.” Its slow creation process allowed the team “to fine tune every detail.”

At one point, the game was indeed coming to Wii. But when Pixel Entertainment heard about Wii U, the team decided to switch Starbeast to the new console.

The information we posted over the weekend is outdated. It’s “very different now, due to the extra time.”

Pixel put the project on hold in January. This allowed for the development of a simpler, unannounced 3DS eShop game. Once this new title is done – and we should be hearing about it within a month – development will switch back to Starbeast and a formal announcement will be made before year’s end.

GameStop “very excited” for Wii U launch

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments

With video game sales declining in the US, the Wii U will breathe fresh air in a market that some would say is suffering from a stagnating console generation. The system signals the beginning of a new cycle with brand new hardware, games, and the possibility for lots of sales.

Naturally, the prospects of a new console launch would entice retailers – especially GameStop. The retailer has expressed great excitement about the release of Wii U.

GameStop President Tony Bartel said:

“We’re very excited about the Wii U launch. We’re looking forward to that release, we’re looking forward to taking pre-orders. What we’re really excited about is it’s really the first part of the next console launch.”

Sakurai on next Smash Bros.: “It’s fun making new skills for new characters”

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 0 comments

Masahiro Sakurai delivered a speech at this year’s CEDEC developers conference today. The session, called “Why Do You Make Games?”, lacked Smash Bros. news for the most part. Although, Sakurai did share one small nugget.

Famitsu transcribed the following quote from Sakurai:

“It’s fun making new skills for new characters.”

Well then… Geno confirmed for the next Smash Bros,! Ah, just kidding.

First Star Beast art, details

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments

Thanks to the game’s Facebook page, we have the first art and details for Star Beast.

We should preface this by saying that it’s not entirely clear how much of this information is still relevant. Most of the gameplay ideas are probably still intact, but the page does mention that the Wii and 3DS are targeted platforms. That’s no longer the case as a LinkedIn profile states that the game will be released on the Wii U, PC, and mobile devices.

In any case, you can find all of the content below.
