Gamers may remember that, last month, NGamer said they would have the scoop on Red Steel 2. Well, the issue has made the rounds to subscribers and strangely, information on the title appears to be absent. It really is a mystery as to what happened since Red Steel 2 seemed to be the centerpiece for the magazine’s latest issue. Apparently the game wasn’t even mentioned in the latest NGamer at all. Looks like gamers will have to wait a little while longer for Ubisoft to pull back the curtain on the game.
Course: Waluigi Stadium
Objective: Go through gates in order
Tournament date: 4/1 – 4/10
“Code execution from SDROM we were not pre-briefed on (or at least I wasn’t). Arcade we’ve known about for a good while…I’ve got no news to share on this [Virtual Console Arcade]. Sorry.” – Christian Svensson, Corporate Officer/VP of Strategic Planning & Business Development
“I’m not commenting on specific titles at this time BUT…They’ve fixed something for consumers which is fantastic… the question is, does this change allow for a change in the filesize limitations that the Wiiware program has had. That was notably absent from Iwata’s keynote but is a question I will be following up on with our reps at Nintendo. I’m hopeful.” – Christian Svensson, Corporate Officer/VP of Strategic Planning & Business Development
