Activision Blizzard’s first quarter 2012 financial report is in, and it isn’t too shabby. They have announced “better-than-expected” results.
The company’s net revenues were $1.17 billion. Last year, this figure was at $1.45 billion. Net revenues from digital channels have taken up 27% of Activision Blizzard’s total revenues for the quarter ending March 31, 2012.
In a blog post detailing Timbletot’s inclusion in Bit.Trip Runner 2, Gaijin Games included one tidbit that we can only assume is a tease for Wii U.
Mike Roush wrote the following to close out his update:
“Wii have a few fun little updates coming for U, so keep your EYES out!!!”
Gaijin Games has hinted at a Wii U version of Bit.Trip Runner 2 many times before. The company may finally be able to announce something for the console during E3, which will take place in less than a month.
Timbletot originally appeared in the first Bit.Trip Runner title as a boss. You can find a two pieces of enemy art here.
It won’t be much longer before the next Tales game is unveiled. That’s because Namco Bandai is gearing up for a reveal at the Tales of Festival.
While the latest issue of Jump has technically announced the new Tales game, the magazine only confirmed that it’s a completely original project. It features a new world that acts as the next generation of the franchise.
The Tales of Festival will take place at the Yokohama Arena in Yokohama on June 2 and June 3.
Square Enix’s Tetsuya Nomura has basically been a weekly guest in Famitsu as of late. He spoke with the magazine once again this week.
We’re aware that Nomura said a couple of things in particular. He’s working on an unannounced title that is more of a lighter offering compared to his other games. He also joked about Kingdom Hearts III being a major curve ball.
More information from the interview will surely appear over the next few days.
