A rather large Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker interview has been posted over on Miiverse. “MariChan” chatted with Shinya Hiratake, the game’s director.
Hiratake talked about Captain Toad’s development, amiibo support, and more. You can find the interview in full after the break.
Ubisoft announced that it would publish a game based on the television series Heroes back in 2007. A year later, the project was cancelled. Unseen64 now shares details about the development process and why the plug was pulled.
The third-person action/adventure Heroes game was planned for Wii and other platforms, with High Voltage Software handling development. It appears that a new female character would be featured – as shown in the concept art above. Regarding the Wii version, Unseen64 states: “A version for Nintendo Wii was also outlined, but production on it was never started.”
High Voltage terminated the Heroes game after it was determined that the studio didn’t have enough resources to create versions for all platforms. Ubisoft ended up scrapping all plans pertaining to Heroes around October 2008. This was in part due to a drop in ratings for the TV show.
Unseen64 has updated its beta article for The Wonderful 101. In it, we get to see a few things, including first designs for Wonder Red.
One design has a large blade placed on Wonder Red’s back, and he’s wearing a white helmet with a green visor. A second design features a machine gun under his right arm. He has less hair in this piece of art as well.
Yet another Twitter update has landed on the Japanese Xenoblade Chronicles X Twitter account. This time around, we get to hear a tiny bit more about equipment.
Director Koh Kojima says that equipping things is mostly the same as in the original Xenoblade Chronicles – head, torso, legs, and feet. However, there is now separate equipment for your left and right arms. Kojima ends his messages by saying there’s more reflected in cut-scenes compared to the first Xenoblade Chronicles, and that’s great for players.
Last week, Mobot Studios shared first screenshots from its next Wii U title. We now have a name for the project plus first details.
Blocky Bot is a game that offers a “high score-driven” mini-game experience. It features a combination of various 2D/3D styles, tight controls, level variety, and plenty of characters to unlock. Mobot has also teased “a guest appearance from another well-known eShop character, and a couple of old school contra-type codes for unlockable items”.
Look forward to more information about Blocky Bot soon.
