So I’ve been waiting on some interview answers from n-Space for a week or so that I was GOING to post soon, but since they haven’t gotten back to me I’m holding off on my ‘Heroes of Ruin’ review and the interview until I can post them both at the same time. In the meantime, we’re trying podcasts again! Seemed to go okay, but it’s currently fairly generic and “oh, here’s another podcast”, you know? Eventually we’ll get to being more unique and entertaining, but for the time being we’ll just feel our way through the stuff and try and offer some interesting opinions on things! Here’s the first episode, available for streaming or download:
According to Toki Tori 2 maker Two Tribes, the Wii U can output two different audio streams. Developers can send one sound to the television and another to the GamePad. This is somewhat similar to the Wii in that the controller’s built-in speaker can produce its own sound.
Two Tribes tweeted earlier today:
“We’ve got the first audio code running on Wii U. You can send separate audio to game pad and TV. Not sure yet if and how we can use that.”
While Two Tribes isn’t sure if they’ll be using this functionality, it’s possible that other studios will be incorporating it into their future projects.
The images above come from Nintendo’s latest annual report. Although they aren’t hugely important, they’re pretty interesting, and a few of them promote the upcoming launch of Wii U.
Nintendo’s annual report also contains a message from president Satoru Iwata. If you missed that, you can read it here.
Thanks to Carl O for the tip.
SEGA’s plans for Gamescom sure have changed over the past few months. Originally, the company was expected to miss out on the show. Last month though, SEGA confirmed that it would be making an appearance.
Now we’re hearing that in addition to its Gamescom appearance, SEGA will be holding a press conference at the show.
Strangely, there aren’t many outlets talking about the media event. Nothing is listed on the official conference sheet either.
In any case, if this does go down, it’ll be happening on August 17 at 11:30 AM. We’ll have any news that comes in on both sites.
No details on the game yet, but Activision is apparently bringing “The Trash Pack” to the 3DS and DS. If GameFly’s listings are correct, both versions will be out on October 30.
