AirMech could come to Wii U, according to developer Carbon Games. It could become a reality “if Nintendo is interested.”
Carbon tweeted yesterday:
“We’re open to WiiU if Nintendo is interested. 🙂 It would work great for AirMech.”
Mass Effect 3: Special Edition won’t be making use of Miiverse’s features. Direct from developer Straight Right, founder Tom Crago noted that the team never truly considered implementing its features based on the context of the game.
Crago said:
“Miiverse functionality isn’t in Mass Effect 3. In the context of the game we never really talked about it. However, it’s something we’re interested in as a studio and with future titles that we might release we would love to look more into it.”
The quotes here are kind of long and boring, so here’s the bullet-point version, with quotes after the break:
– Research firm is “IHS Screen Digest”
– They predict 3.5 million Wii U sales this holiday, outselling Wii
– This is mostly due to Nintendo “evangelists”
– They expect long-term Wii U sales to be about 70% of Wii sales
Hit the break for the specific quotes.
I know a lot of people hate Ubisoft for their UPlay DRM baloney (among a few other things, I’m sure), but I can’t help liking them to some extent, and now I’m happy to hear that they’re at least considering purchasing slowly-dying game developer THQ.
“What happened to [THQ] is something that happens regularly when we have transition. They have good things. We are always interested in good brands. For sure, it’s something we can consider, but I can’t tell you more.” – Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot
I just want them to bring the Worms franchise back! That game has so much potential!
