Skylanders Imaginators adds Ember
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 3 Comments
Skylanders Imaginators will feature a whole bunch of characters. One of these is Ember, the fire-based Sensei of the Sentinel class.
Here’s an overview:
Ember was raised inside the Dragonfire Dojo, having come from a long line of Fire Sentinels that were skilled in the art of Dual-Blades. It was the dream of her father that Ember would follow their tradition and take over the family training facility, and so she practiced every day. She was naturally gifted, and soon even the greatest Dual-Blade Masters were no match for Ember. When Kaos heard of this, he took over her village and banned martial arts entirely, for fear of an uprising. But Ember fought back, unleashing an impressive barrage of Samurai pyrotechnics that drove the invaders away. Even though her village was free, she knew then that there was greater evil out there that needed to be stopped, and so she joined the Skylanders to train others in the art of the Sentinel Battle Class. One day though, Ember plans to return to her homeland and reopen her family’s school, but not until Skylands is safe once and for all.
And a video:
It’s expected that Ember will be offered for the second wave of Skylanders Imaginators figures.

Inafune apologizes for Mighty No. 9 delays, anime and film still happening, thinking about a sequel
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U | 31 Comments
It’s taken awhile, but Mighty No. 9 will finally be launching this month. Things unfortunately did not go smooth for the game, as it was pushed back quite a few times.
Creator Keiji Inafune once again apologized for the delays while speaking with 4Gamer. He told the site:
“We deeply apologize to the fans and backers for having taken much longer than expected. I learned again how difficult it can be to make a game. (The reason of delay) was not because we were shorthanded, but due to how we were going to sell it, and then biting more than we can chew after declaring that it will be released for all the hardware. But it was a good [learning] experience.”
