Speaking about their upcoming game Aliens: Colonial Marines, Gearbox Software President Randy Pitchford had quite a few nice things to say about the Wii U gamepad…
“This is the best controller Nintendo’s ever made for making an FPS. This is the best controller Nintendo has ever given us for playing hardcore games. [It’s] perfect for Aliens.”
He went on to talk about how the Wii U is “similar” to Xbox’s SmartGlass and the Playstation 3 connection to Vita, but also how Nintendo committed much more thoroughly on the promise of asymmetrical gameplay…
“With the Wii U they committed themselves to this promise. So the link is direct, fast and immediate. Things like SmartGlass and Vita, they appreciate the value of the promise so they’re making the promise. But they’re not in with such commitment.”
We’ve been confused about three times now with Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed’s release date. Thankfully, SEGA has once and for all confirmed that the December 11 date listed on Amazon is incorrect. It should be out on November 18 – the game’s original release date.
“The amazon.com dates are not correct and we’re working to fix them. The console versions (360, PS3, and Wii U) are all being released on November 18th.”
Renegade Kid has big plans for the Mutant Mudds series. Following its success on the 3DS eShop, the game is seeing an update on the Wii U store. Mutant Mudds 2 is also in the works.
According to Renegade Kid co-founder Jools Watsham, fans can expect the sequel to be a 2D platformer, just like the original.
“Yes, we plan on releasing Mutant Mudds 2, and it will be a 2D platformer. We also have a Wii U version coming out, called Mutant Mudds Deluxe.”
