So the title of this sounds like I could be making some sort of crack at how great Skyward Sword is and how it “stole” 80 hours of my life. I’m not. I’m finally, legitimately upset at Nintendo because of how they handled the development of the Wii and its basic hardware structure. It took 5 years, but one small issue on top of another small issue on top of another has finally taken it’s toll, and I’m ready to say it: The Wii is an outdated piece of crap with fantastic games. Unfortunately, despite the fantastic games, the first part has now become inexcusable.
Capcom usually has at least one Nintendo game announcement or update to share at Captivate. In 2011, for instance, we received a new trailer and screenshots for Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D.
It looks like things will be no different this year.
When asked if some of tomorrow’s “Capcom goodness” will be Nintendo-related, IGN editor Rich George said,
“There will be something that interests you, I think.”
You know what would be nice? A Monster Hunter Tri G localization announcement.
We’ll be here tomorrow morning at 11 AM of course, so stay tuned for any announcements – assuming there are any! We’ll definitely have a huge update on Gaming Everything as well.
Gamers Digital and Big John Games debuted Coaster Creator 3D at GDC 2012 last month. It should be noted that the video above is representative of an unfinished project, as the game is currently in the pre-alpha concept stages.
We’ll have more details on this shortly…
Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two is in development for a number of different platforms. However, the game won’t be coming to the Wii U.
There had been a rumor about a Wii U version/Wii U tablet support back in February, but based on recent comments from Junction Point’s Warren Spector, fans shouldn’t count on any Epic Mickey 2 action on the new console.
When asked if he had given any thought to a Wii U version in the latest issue of Nintendo Power, Spector said:
“We’ve certainly thought about it. It’s a really interesting piece of hardware. Unfortunately, we were already too far into development by the time it was announced. So there’s just no way we could get it out by the time Wii U launches. I mean, who knows what’s going to happen in the future? But for right now, there are no plans. There is all sorts of fun stuff we could do with that controller, though.”
Nintendo fans can get their Epic Mickey 2 fix on the Wii. It’ll also be made available on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, and Mac. A 3DS spinoff is in the works as well.
