French magazine Jeux Video has delivered the first review for Watch Dogs. The publication holds Ubisoft’s new open-world title in high regard, having handed out a 19 / 20 score.
One of the folks over on Reddit translated the following information from the review:
Nintendo could be cooking up a new color variation for the 2DS. The image above, coming from the Tomodachi Life website’s source code, reveals a new blueish/white system. Nintendo hasn’t made an announcement about this color yet, though it certainly seems legitimate.
Armikrog is tentatively scheduled to hit PC, Mac, and Linux in July. A Wii U version is also planned, but it’ll launch at a later date.
When exactly? At the moment, Pencil Test Studios seems to be targeting a fall release.
Producer Luis Gigliotti has also shared a few (vague) words about what Armikrog will offer on Wii U. The team will be implementing “some really cool” features “designed only for that version”.
I cannot say about the specifics [sic] but i can confirm that the WiiU version will have some really cool, WiiU specific features designed only for that version
Also worth mentioning, Gigliotti said the following when asked about a possible 3DS version:
We do want to eventually port the game over to portable consoles, mobile and tablets as well… But we want to make sure we get the PC, Mac, Linux [sic] and WiiU skus done first
Chris Seavor on The Unlikely Legend of Rusty Pup, voicing Slippy Toad, and more
ONM has published a new interview with former Rare staffer and Gory Detail founder Chris Seavor. Seavor discussed his background, the indie project The Unlikely Legend of Rusty Pup for Wii U/3DS, and voicing Slippy Toad.
You can find a few excerpts from the interview below. ONM’s full piece is located here.
“Sadness” is a game that should sound familiar to many Nintendo fans. Nibris announced the project as a Wii exclusive way back in 2006 before ultimately pulling the plug in 2010, which was accompanied by news of the studio’s closure.
In a bit of odd and unexpected news, HullBreach Studios and Cthulhi Games have announced plans to revive Sadness as a Wii U exclusive. The title is tentatively targeted for a 2016 release.
Here’s what you should know:
– Nibris struggled with development with their Gamebryo engine programmers at Frontline and their graphics partner Digital Amigos
– Will stick to the game’s original idea
– Could be some changes and there with regard to characters, mechanics, setting
– Will keep the Gothic noir visual style with a few exceptions
– Will likely be made in Unity
– Starting from scratch
– New elements will be introduced including RPG and puzzle-based mechanics
– There’s also a shift to 2D
– Cthulhi and HullBreach are working as equal partners on the project
– More news at “Indie Sanctum 2014” in October
You can find more quotes from HullBreach Studios and Cthulhi Games over at Nintendo Life.
Tomodachi Life is launching on June 6th. On the same day, Nintendo will distribute a new item through SpotPass.
Players can get their hands on the item by enabling SpotPass in the “Options” menu, found at Town Hall. A notification will appear confirming its arrival. Once there, you can find it at the Import Wear shop the next time you visit.
Forbidden Manga is due out in Japan in October, the latest Famitsu leaks confirm. The game will cost somewhere in the neighborhood of 5,000 yen.
Famitsu introduces a character and two new spirits. There’s also a look at the battle and inn parts.
Much of the information is unclear at present, so we’ll make another post if/when concrete details arrive.
