I’m not calling this the final boxart just yet. Kid Icarus: Uprising isn’t due out in Europe until next year, so I’m not too sure that the retail art has been prepared yet.
Sometimes I wish that the 3DS’ cameras were’t so… terrible. Even a slightly higher resolution would have been nice!
Capcom has been pretty mum about the reason behind Mega Man Legends 3’s cancellation. On their official blog, it was only stated that “it was not felt that the Mega Man Legends 3 Project met the required criteria”.
A more concrete reason for the game’s cancellation might have something to do with fans. At least, that’s what Capcom Europe has indicated. The company hinted on their Twitter account that the game may have seen a different fate had fans been more active with the project and participated more on dev rooms.
“@kdawg3000 We weren’t asking people to do much but response to dev rooms was cool at best …@kdawg3000 it’s a shame the fans didn’t want to get more involved 🙁 if we saw there was an audience for MML3 people might change minds”
Thanks to Jake for the tip!
I’d say that Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions was pretty good considering the games we saw after Spider-Man 2. Beenox is taking somewhat of a safe approach with this “sequel” (yes, I’m aware it’s not truly a sequel), but at least this title shouldn’t be too shabby.
Mario received an anniversary compilation. Zelda is getting concerts, a special Wii MotionPlus accessory, two soundtracks, and three games. Metroid is the last of Nintendo’s “big three” to turn 25 this year, but Nintendo isn’t doing anything special as far as we know.
But, hey! At least there’s a hub site for you to explore over at Nintendo UK. You can access it right here.
Let’s pray that there’s more in store than just this website…
Wedbush’s Michael Pachter has offered a few thoughts about the Wii U’s price. The analyst believes that the console should be priced at $249.99 and he would personally be surprised if it costed more than $399.99.
Pachter’s full thoughts:
“It would surprise me a lot if the Wii U cost more than $399.99, and I think that the sweet spot is $249.99. Pricing really depends upon where the other console bundles (PS3 with Move and 360 with Kinect) are priced at the time the Wii U launches, because people who don’t yet have a console are likely going to choose among the three offerings, and the biggest driver in the purchase decision is usually price.
“I have repeatedly said I thought the next generation Wii should come out in 2009, then 2010, and when it was clear that it wasn’t happening, have repeatedly said that a later launch was too late, as it will come too close to next generation launches from the other console manufacturers. Thus, the question now about whether the Wii U can compete with the PS4 and Xbox 720 is just a set up for me to say ‘I was right’…”
I’d be shocked if Nintendo prices Wii U at $250. $299.99 sounds much more likely, but even $349.99 is possible.
