Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter says that his recent comments regarding Activision motivating Nintendo to make the Wii U Pro controller centered around nothing more than an “educated guess”.
Pachter said today:
“I am putting two and two together to conclude that Activision put pressure on them. I do not know this either first-hand or third-hand; nobody told me. I am merely deducing it from what we know, and it’s an educated guess.”
I actually thought this was understood based on the way Pachter’s comments were worded. He did say that Activision never told him anything, and he didn’t make it seem as though he received any inside information. Anyway, Pachter has now made it clear that he was just voicing his feelings, so hopefully we can put those quotes behind us.

Level-5 has been keeping quiet about another one of its 3DS titles, Fantasy Life, that’s been in the works for quite a long time. But the game has finally resurfaced in the latest issue of Famitsu, which confirms a 2012 launch for the game.
Brownie Brown is handling development. Level-5 is involved with planning and some development, Nobuo Uematsu is providing the title’s music, and Yoshitaka Amano is creating illustrations.
Local play is supported, as are SpotPass and StreetPass.
A release date will apparently be announced in next week’s issue.
