Gearbox Software, the team behind Aliens: Colonial Marines, once again has high praise for Wii U. It’s certainly encouraging to read about positive feedback when E3 2012 is less than two weeks away.
Speaking about making Aliens: Colonial Marines for Wii U, Gearbox senior producer Brian Burleson told Eurogamer that it’s “been pretty easy”. He feels that Nintendo’s console is “a powerful, powerful machine” capable of performing “a lot of cool new things”.
He said:
D3Publisher is one of many companies planning announcements for this year’s E3. D3 opened a new teaser site today confirming that some sort of reveal will be taking place at the expo. The site doesn’t offer much in terms of hints, but it fortunately won’t be too long before we find out what the company has in store.
You can keep track of the site here.
Thanks to bitinfo for the tip.
The following deals were posted on VGSavings today:
Toys “R” Us deals (5/27 – 6/2)
Target: Mario Tennis Open for $30, free shipping included
You can find more deals daily on VGSavings, including offers for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.
The Order Up!! 3DS demo wasn’t on the eShop today for a reason. SuperVillain Studios co-founder Chris Rausch confirmed that the download was delayed a week because “Nintendo is apparently going to get behind it for a bit of a push”.
This should mean that the game will receive its own section on the store next week. Maybe Nintendo will even send out a SpotPass notification about the demo.
According to Rausch:
“We have just received word that the demo is being pushed back a week on the eShop, as Nintendo is apparently going to get behind it for a bit of a push, which would be awesome! No specifics, but either way, expect the demo next week, and the game is now approved, so it should be hitting the eShop in early June.”
Of course THQ wouldn’t skip out on its annual WWE game. The series is back once again on consoles this year. WWE ’13 is coming to all major platforms, including Wii.
Stone Cold Steve Austin, Undertaker, Mankind, Sheamus, Chris Jericho, Mark Henry, Big Show and CM Punk are some of the roster inclusions.
You can find a trailer for WWE ’13 above. The title will launch on November 1.
The Wii U doesn’t have a boxart “template” yet, but this is the image we’ll be seeing on the Metro: Last Light packaging.
Sometimes fans make really awesome things. “Project M” is one such creation that is really worth checking out. It’s a fan-made Super Smash Bros. Brawl mod capable of adding new levels, changes in settings, and more.
The best part about it? You don’t have to modify your Wii at all. It doesn’t use the Homebrew Channel or anything else. As long as you have a copy of the game and an SD card, you should be good to go.
A Skyloft stage is included in the Project M 2.1 demo, which apparently just came out yesterday. You can see a video of the level above.
If you’re interested in Project M, you can download the latest demo version here.
