Watch_Dogs has been a long time coming from Ubisoft. In a recent interview, senior producer Dominic Guay confirmed that the project has been in the works since 2009.
Guay shared the development tidbit when asked about connections to the TV series “Person of Interest”.
He said:
“Actually we were many years into development when we heard of that show [Person of Interest] for the first time. Making a new IP like WATCH_DOGS is a long process and we started to craft our vision in early 2009.”
Because Ubisoft has been making Watch_Dogs since 2009, it has been in development for around four years.
Mario Kart 8 is slated for spring of 2014. When exactly the game will be hitting Wii U is unclear, as Nintendo has yet to share a specific date. However, in a recent newsletter from Nintendo of Europe, it’s mentioned that Mario Kart 8 is coming in April of next year.
You may remember that Mario Kart Wii launched in April way back in 2008. Of course, that doesn’t necessarily mean that Mario Kart 8 will arrive during the same month.
As always, take this rumor with a grain of salt until Nintendo makes an official announcement.
Thanks to Ken P for the tip.
Two more titles are scheduled for the Japanese Wii U Virtual Console service next week. Shin Megami Tensei and Ghosts ‘n Goblins will be released on July 3. The former is priced at 900 yen while the latter will cost 500 yen.
Sayonara Umihara Kawase was… somewhere at E3 2013. What does that mean exactly?
For now, Sayonara Umihara Kawase is only for the Japanese market. But developer Agatsuma Entertainment is interested in bringing it to the west, and may have used E3 as an opportunity to show the title to publishers.
Atlus brought over Agatsuma’s previous 3DS game, Code of Princess, to North America. It “exceeded expectations”.
Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma answered a few fan questions on the series’ official Facebook page a few weeks ago.
Aonuma commented on what he’s most excited about with Wind Waker HD, who his favorite character is in the game, and which feature he’s most looking forward to in A Link Between Worlds.
Something I wasn’t actually aware of: Aonuma wrote all of the text for the King of Hyrule.
F… Falco?
