At least in the eyes of one Nintendo staffer, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze won’t be as tough as New Super Luigi U. Nintendo of Canada’s Matt Ryan was asked about which of the two he believes is more difficult based on his experience observing Treehouse play both titles. In his view, New Super Luigi U does indeed offer more of a challenge.
As far as we know, One Piece: Unlimited World Red lacks 3D support. The news comes from an official listing on Nintendo’s website, which simply states “None” under the 3D feature section. It’s unclear why One Piece: Unlimited World Red won’t make use of the 3D effect, but I suppose Namco Bandai has its reasons.
John Pleasants, co-president of Disney Interactive, has resigned from the company. His leave takes place on Monday, effective immediately. However, Pleasants intends to stay on as a consultant until at least January.
Pleasants said of his departure:
“It was a collaborative decision to do what’s right for the business at a time when we have clear momentum. It’s complicated to have co-presidents. It doesn’t seem to make sense as a long-term strategy.”
“I will tell you that it’s a bit of a mixed thing for me. I would have also been happy to stay on. I would be misleading you if I said I wanted to leave.”
Jimmy Pitaro, Disney Interactive’s other co-president, will now lead the entire division.
