Factor 5 being sued, Rogue Squadron game was in development for Wii
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 2 Comments
Factor 5, which closed down their San Rafael studio just a few weeks ago, is now being sued by its former employees. The employees claim that Factor 5 deceitfully transferring assets to a seperate company in order to avoid handing out payment.
James Smith, a San Francisco lawyer representing the employees, issued a statement.
“We allege in the suit that Factor 5 and its three founders fraudulently transferred assets, including source code and other intellectual property to Blue Harvest, which is now known as White Harvest. We believe and have alleged in the complaint that Factor 5 and White Harvest are essentially the same company, being run by the same people, being represented by the same sets of lawyers, with all the same management and ownership and control, performing all the same work that they were doing at Factor 5, just now with a new name and a new address.”
The worst part of this all? Apparently a new Star Wars Rogue Squadron was in development for Wii and all progress was transferred to White Harvest. Unfortunately, the fate of the title does not seem to be too promising at the moment.

Sakamoto on more Prime games, Metroid DS titles
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 1 Comment
“With regards to the Prime series, if the team at Retro comes up with an idea that does bring a sequel to the series to fruition, I by all means encourage them to do that. But I’m not directly involved with the Prime games. In terms of the Metroid series stories that I’ve told, the games that I’ve been involved in, I started with the NES Metroid and took it through Fusion. I’m hoping to tie the Super Metroid and Fusion stories together, and until I do that I can’t think about what happens after Fusion, but if the concept does come to me I’d like to continue the story and see how far it can go.” – Yoshio Sakamoto
Sometime in the future, I would be interested in seeing a new game in the Prime series. Additionally, I would love to play another Metroid title on the DS. What about you guys?
Miyamoto confirms no online play for Wii Sports Resort
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 5 Comments
Were you hoping to battle a friend in a game of basketball or golf in Wii Sports Resort over the Internet? Well, unfortunately Shigeru Miyamoto has confirmed that there is no online support for the title. Miyamoto stated in a video interview with GameSpot that Wii Sports Resort is the type of game in which “you want to see your opponents face.”
“I think that there are different types of competition, different ways that people compete with each other and I think we can look at different titles and how they apply themselves to that face-to-face competition and maybe say that online competition. I think games like Wii Sports Resort, New Super Mario Bros. for Wii, are games that you want to see your opponents face, you want to play with them right there. And I think because it does allow for players of various experience levels to play together, we really haven’t thought of that being something we want to put online. We want people to be playing it together physically…”
