A special Nintendo Direct is being hosted in just a couple of hours from now to highlight ARMS. Yet ahead of that, a leak has come in showing new characters. Head past the break if that’s something you’re interested in seeing.
If you thought Konami would be slowing down on its TurboGrafx-16 games for the Wii U Virtual Console, think again. We do know that Blazing Stars is scheduled for tomorrow in North America. Six games have now been rated by the ESRB as well.
Neutopia II, Bonk III, Air Zonk, Alien Crush, Devil’s Crush, and Soldier Blade have classifications. It’s unclear when they were added to the ESRB site, but it seems to have taken place recently. We should be seeing these games on the Wii U eShop in the months ahead.
Following up on the comments Ubisoft made about Switch during its financial call yesterday, we now have the full statements made by CEO Yves Guillemot and CFO Alain Martinez.
The first remarks are from Guillemot. Speaking about Switch generally during during Ubisoft’s opening, he said:
“… And on top of this, as we have said for quite some time now, we will be delivering some great games for the Switch. The platform’s launch is going incredibly well and we believe the Switch has the potential to reach wide audience. As you know, Ubisoft has been the leading third-party publisher on Nintendo’s console over the past 10 years, and we intend to maintain that position.”
Ubisoft CFO Alain Martinez later tackled a question during the Q&A portion of the call. He shared the following about the system:
“… we have new guidance on the Switch. We have one new game not announced and we have also Just Dance that is coming on the machines plus one or two others.”
