Nintendo of America vice president of sales and marketing Scott Moffitt has delievered new commentary on all things Nintendo. He discussed why the company won’t be releasing specific Wii U hardware specs, “thinks” that first-party games will run in 1080p, and expressed that core gamers are very important.
We’ve posted the full Q&A below.
When Square Enix and n-Space Heroes of Ruin, the companies promised that the game would feature daily and weekly challenges. The two have already made good on their commitment, as these challenges have been made available starting on June 15.
There are more tasks planned throughout the month, and n-Space is giving European players a sneak peak as to what’s in store. You can find the full list below. And remember: challenges will show up automatically in the Quest log.
We have a couple of extra bits on Kirby’s Dream Collection Special Edition.
First up, the Japanese price. Most Wii games cost 5,800 yen (approximately $74), but the new Kirby collection will cost 3,800 yen (approximately $48). This is a pretty good sign that it’ll cost $40 or less when it arrives in the states.
Along with pricing details, it’s been made clear that players can experience Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards by holding the Wii Remote horizontally. It’s unknown which control scheme(s) the other games will use.
These videos were taken directly from the Wii version of LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes. As you can see, it features open-world gameplay much like the other console editions.

We’ve seen the Nintendo community accomplish amazing things with the Wii hardware and some of its games. The latest fan effort focuses on Super Mario Galaxy 2, which has been a given Mario and Luigi split-screen co-op mod through game patcher Riivolution.
The video above emphasizes that the project is still very much a work in progress. Even with the kinks, though, this is pretty impressive.
While the mod isn’t available to the public yet, it should be up for download sometime in the future.
Namco Bandai has updated the Lost Heroes site with some new images from the game. You can find a few screenshots in the gallery above.
Gearbox Software has some ideas in store for a possible Aliens: Colonial Marines sequel. Senior producer Brian Burleson recently said that the studio is “imagining things” for another game in the series.
According to Burleson:
“We’re imagining things – there’s a distinct possibility. We are making the game in such a way that could support certain possibilities, but nothing is certain so we have to leave lots of ground.
“I think when people finish playing the game, they’ll definitely want more. We’re not just tagging off the end of the game and saying, ‘That’s the end of the Aliens chronology for this sort of thing’. We want to continue it…”
Before fans can even begin to think about a sequel, they’ll have to wait for Aliens: Colonial Marines to actually hit store shelves. This won’t be happening until next year, of course. Surely SEGA will be looking at the reception the game receives both critically and financially.
