Spyborgs dev speaks about how the game was rushed, pre-beta version shipped in the US, rough Bionic/Capcom relationship
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 1 Comment
Former Bionic Games creative director Mike Stout has shared some incredibly interesting insight into the development of Spyborgs.
For those who are unaware, Spyborgs is Capcom’s Wii-exclusive title developed by Bionic Games. After its initial reveal, the project underwent a major overhaul following feedback from fans.
Stout says that Bionic had just six months to recreate its game from scratch for Capcom. Amazingly, Capcom ended up shipping an incomplete, pre-beta build in North America as the final version. Unlike Europe, the US received a game with untuned difficulty and companion AI that “just didn’t work.”
Stout also touched on the relationship between Bionic Games and Capcom. Sadly, both companies ended up treating each other very poorly.
You can find all of Stout’s tweets after the break. Please note that some of the messages contain strong lanauge.

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate details
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 10 Comments
This week’s issue of Famitsu contains new information about Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. For a summary of what’s included in the magazine, read on below.
– Can send others flying on the back of monsters
– This gives a purpose to the move that’s used to send your buddies flying sky high
– When a monster sends you flying in the air, you won’t be able to take advantage of that and do the same thing
– The feature is being added due to the lack of ledges in some areas
– Capcom believes it will add a whole new way of cooperating with your fellow Hunters
– G-rank Guild Quests will be included
– Previous version only went up to seven stars in High Rank
– The G-rank will introduce tougher challenges and stronger monsters
– New sub-species for monsters like the Garara Ajara, Genel Serutas, Kechawacha, Tetsukabura, Zaboazagill,
– This will give them different characteristics and attacks from their normal counterparts
– The Old Desert area will also be making a return
– Will need Cold Drinks (and Hot Drinks during the night) to take on the likes of Cephadrome and Daimyo Hermitaur
– The trailer also teased a new monster at the end, which some feel that it may be related to Gore Magala
From Ryozo Tsujimoto:
“It has more of a slender body-type when compared with all the other monsters we’ve had up until now, and the distinct gap it has between its fingers will also be another focus. I’ll leave the rest up to your imagination for the time being.”
