The Amazing Spider-Man 2 heading to Wii U, 3DS next year
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
Beenox is working on The Amazing Spider-Man 2, it has been revealed. Activision will publish the game in May 2014 for Wii U, 3DS, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC. The launch will tie in with next year’s film.
Beenox’s François Taddei says The Amazing Spider-Man 2 will offer “more challenges”, an improved and more realistic web-swing mechanic, and a battle system with more depth. The story will apparently encompass more than just the film in order to delve deeper into Peter Parker’s personality.
Fans can expect new villains as well as familiar faces. Thanks to a new “Hero” system, Manhattan will feel more lively, and there will be consequences for letting chaos happens.
More details should be revealed at Comic Con later today.

Nintendo says message about end of Wii production was specific to Japan
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii | 4 Comments
Last week, news surfaced of Nintendo’s plans to end production of the Wii in Japan. It doesn’t sound like there are similar plans in the west.
Eurogamer was told by Nintendo that the message was specific to Japan. The company also said, “We have made no specific announcements for Europe regarding Wii production.” That’s the same situation in the states as well.
Nintendo’s statement in full reads:
“Yes, NCL did update their website on 29th August with a small notice to state that Wii hardware production will stop in the near future. This specific message was referring to the Japanese market. No specific time frame has been stated yet. We have made no specific announcements for Europe regarding Wii production.”

Yet despite the frequent launches of LEGO titles, there is “absolutely no fatigue at all and there is actually a demand for different experiences.”
