Shigeru Miyamoto received his Prince of Asturias Award earlier today. Here’s a snapshot:
Congratulations, Miyamoto!
It took EA awhile, but the company has finally confirmed that Need for Speed: Most Wanted is heading to Wii U. The game won’t be ready for some time, however: it’s expected sometime next year.
An EA representative said:
“We are very excited to deliver Need for Speed: Most Wanted on more platforms and to more gamers. Starting Oct. 30, Most Wanted will be available on X360, PS3, PS Vita, Android and iOS. Then in 2013, Nintendo fans will be able to experience what it means to be Most Wanted amongst their friends on the Wii U.”
It’s currently unclear if the Wii U version will be cross-platform compatible. So we don’t know if it will make use of the Cloudcompete feature, nor do we know if players will be able to complete against users on other platforms.
A report surfaced on Kotaku today that paints a pretty bad picture of Silicon Knights, the studio behind Eternal Darkness.
One former employee told the site that the company suffered because of Denis Dyack’s authoritative control. Once ties with Nintendo were basically broken, Dyack was completely in charge of all operations and the Big N wasn’t there to provide any support.
A source said:
“This is the reason for the extremely high quality games that SK built a reputation on. Nintendo was going to put their name on the game, so it had to be ‘Nintendo quality.'”
