A look at the cancelled DJ Hero: After Party
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
Zoë Mode, in partnership with Activision, was once working on DJ Hero: After Party. The game was slated for Wii, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.
DJ Hero: After Party was intended to be “an alternative approach to the formula”, according to Unseen64. A developer who worked on the project said that it “had a very different vibe to it than the other games”, with a more ” relaxed and laid back” vibe.
For whatever reason, Activision did not go further with DJ Hero: After Party and rejected the pitch in October 2009. However, the publisher held on to their concepts – some of which were used in DJ Hero 2.

PEGI rates Shiftlings for Wii U
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
Shiftlings from Rock Pocket Games and Activision/Sierra could be coming to Wii U, assuming a listing from PEGI is accurate. The classification board added an entry into its database for the apparent Wii U version on February 10.
Check out an overview and trailer for Shiftlings below. We’ll try to find out if Sierra can confirm PEGI’s listing.
In this physics based, puzzle platformer you control two, not so bright but lovable, alien space janitors which are the main attraction in an intergalactic reality tv-show without their knowing. While we watch over their shoulders, they are supposed to solve different small tasks on five themed worlds with ten levels each and they are ready to do pretty much everything, from jumping on each-other, to dragging and dropping and using that tube till it bursts.
The fun twist is that those two are connected by an air hose through which they can shift their size which is crucial to survive the hazardous challenges the two get thrown into. As helpful as the tube can be it will also provide additional challenges.

Skylanders has continued to perform well since the original game – Spyro’s Adventure – launched in 2011. Activision confirmed in its financial results today that more than 240 million toys have been sold.
It’s worth mentioning that sales have dipped slightly over the past few years. Activision sold only 20 million toys in 2011, but moved 80 million units in 2012. That number then decreased to 75 million in 2013, and 65 million in 2014.
