During a GDC Europe presentation, KnapNok Games’ Lau Korsgaard reflected on a few different topics including Spin the Bottle: Bumpie’s Party.
Korsgaard feels that the studio succeeded with its Wii U eShop game. However, he did admit that the “Spin the Bottle” name may have been a mistake.
Korsgaard said:
“It has been really hard figuring out how to frame [the game] right. For instance, it hasn’t been received that well in the States … it has been received okay but a lot of people thought it was too naughty. Spin the Bottle in America has all the sexual subtext of people kissing each other, so I don’t think parents would let their children buy this game and play it. So I actually think maybe we shouldn’t have called it Spin the Bottle but just Bumpie’s Party or something like that.”
Yesterday, a Kickstarter launched for “Night Trap ReVamped”. Night Trap, LLC opened the campaign in hopes of bringing back the classic game in a high-definition format.
Night Trap ReVamped is planned for a bunch of platforms like PlayStation, Xbox, PC, and Mac… but no release on Nintendo platforms is planned.
A console like Wii U could certainly handle Night Trap ReVamped from a technical standpoint. However, the game’s developers explained on Kickstarter that it won’t be coming to Nintendo platforms due to “bad blood” with the Big N that was created two decades ago.
Check out the explanation in full below:
Disney Interactive has announced that Donald Duck is joining the cast of characters set to appear in Disney Infinity 2.0.
Donald Duck isn’t getting his own Play Set, but he will be playable in the Toy Box. The character can toss objects and sweep up enemies with a broom.
A new Donald Duck themed Power Disc will also be available for players to use in the Toy Box mode to customize and enhance the experience. Players will be able to use the “All for One” Power Disc to change their Donald character into a Three Musketeers costume.
Update: This may be inaccurate…
There's a RUMOR in the www that #PES2015 is coming on #WiiU. I just called #Konami & they told me that this News is incorrect. NO WiiU ver.

It’s looking like all hope is not lost for soccer fans missing FIFA 15 on the Wii U, as it’s looking possible that another big name soccer title is heading to Nintendo’s home console. A couple of French websites have made mention of Nintendo’s platform and though the translation is a little rough, both sites clearly make mention of the Wii U as one of the platforms getting Konami’s FIFA rival, Pro Evolution Soccer 2015.
The first source comes by way of Jeuxvideo which has the following listed:
It took time, but PES 2015 is now officially announced by Konami. An episode which will be a first step towards the eighth generation of consoles, an eagerly awaited by many fans of the series forward. ‘s first news however, is that owners of PS3 and 360 will not be forgotten since PES 2015 will also be released on these media (therefore giving PS3, 360, PS4 , One and Wii U ). The bad news is that for now, the PC does not seem concerned.
Friend of the site Nintendo-town had this to say:
Pro Evolution Soccer 2015 arrives on Wii U
Konami takes advantage of the opportunity of this lack of competition and confirmed that Pro Evolution Soccer 2015 arrives on Wii U at the same time as the PS3 versions, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One. A very good news for the players of the Nintendo console. The editor also probably finding his account leaving the game on Wii U in Japan,
Though nothing concrete, definitely worth keeping an eye on for sports fans.
