Two Tribes thinking about RUSH on Wii U
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
A few years back, Toki Tori-maker Two Tribes brought the puzzle game “RUSH” to WiiWare. While some fans may have forgotten about it, the IP could reappear on the Wii U.
Okay, that’s not even close to being confirmed. Two Tribes is thinking about the possibility, however.
The company wrote on Twitter earlier today:
“Think along: if we were to bring RUSH to Wii U, how would the controls work? So many options!”
Nintendo pulls away from Wii U/3DS unified accounts
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 0 comments
Recent comments from a Nintendo customer service representative indicated that the Wii U and 3DS would eventually get unified accounts. In other words, the two systems would be tied together in some ways through the technology.
Now Nintendo is backing away from these remarks. Charlie Scibetta, Sr. Director of Corporate Communications at Nintendo of America, has attempted to clarify the situation.
Scibetta said:
“Nintendo has already announced the Nintendo Network as a unified ‘network platform’ that delivers current and future online services to the Nintendo 3DS system and the upcoming Wii U console. These services include, but are not limited to, multiplayer online game play and the ability to download both add-on content and full games that are also available as packaged software. Further details on these services will be revealed at a later date.
“However, there is no current announcement concerning a unified online ‘account system’ between Wii U and Nintendo 3DS, which suggests payment implications that Nintendo is not ready to confirm at this time. We hope this clarifies any misunderstanding.”

Epic doesn’t plan on bringing Unreal Engine 4 to Wii U, but ports are possible
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 2 Comments
Epic Games has finally clarified its stance with Unreal Engine 4 on Wii U once and for all.
According to vice-president Mark Rein, the technology isn’t intended for the console. But Rein said that it “is going to be supremely scalable”, making third-party ports possible.
He concluded by noting how “Unreal Engine 3 is a really good fit for that platform.”
Rein said:
“We have Unreal Engine 3 running on Wii U. You saw games at the Nintendo press conference again this year – a fantastic demo by our friends at Warner Bros. showing Arkham City running on Wii U. And Aliens: Colonial Marines is coming on Wii U, that’s also Unreal. There’s, I’m sure, several others. Mass Effect was announced for it as well. So we’re certainly playing a role there with Unreal Engine 3. I’ll state that I don’t think it’s our intention to bring Unreal Engine 4 to Wii U, but Unreal Engine 4 is going to be supremely scalable. We’ll run on mobile phones and on a wide variety of things, so if a customer decides they want to port an Unreal Engine 4 game to Wii U, they could. But Unreal Engine 3 is a really good fit for that platform.”
Epic Games’ senior PR manager Dana Cowley added, “beyond the PC, we haven’t confirmed any other platforms for Unreal Engine 4.”
