Goodbye Galaxy Games planning new 3DS FPS, may work with Wii U this year
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
Goodbye Galaxy Games appears to have plans for a first-person shooter on the 3DS.
Studio head Hugo Smits started out by first asking fans the following on Twitter:
who would like fast paced FPS with a twist on 3DS?
— Hugo Smits (@HugoSmits) March 30, 2014
Smits then wrote soon after:
@Trev_G1 @df2506 I got some cool ideas for one… so if there are enough people wanting it…
— Hugo Smits (@HugoSmits) March 30, 2014
@df2506 @Trev_G1 Yeah Moon looks amazing! Can't wait to play! But I'm more talking classic FPS like Wolfenstein 3D or Doom for my project 🙂
— Hugo Smits (@HugoSmits) March 30, 2014
All of this culminated with the following tweet:
Okay pretty sure I will work on a FPS game for 3DS this year then.. haha busy year this is going to be!
— Hugo Smits (@HugoSmits) March 31, 2014
In addition to the new 3DS shooter, Smits is trying to wrap up two more projects for the handheld, and may even bring a title over to Wii U – like a Tappingo port.
@GoldMetalSonic Might start with WiiU this year. it will be something 'easy' like a port of Tappingo, need focus on tech-side first!
— Hugo Smits (@HugoSmits) March 31, 2014
@Samus2008 hope I don't die 😀 Trying to finish 2 3DS projects in next 2 months, Gomba in the summer, FPS game for xmas? and maybe some wiiU

Walmart, Nintendo World will be selling a Mickey Edition 3DS XL system
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Last week we heard about a Peach Pink 2DS system coming to GameStop for the launch of Disney Magical World. And today, Nintendo has confirmed a special 3DS XL system based on the same game.
Walmart and Nintendo World will both be selling the “Mickey Edition” 3DS XL model. We don’t have any clear photos of the system yet, but the system is featured in snapshots of an upcoming commercial for Disney Magical World that Nintendo just passed out. It looks pretty similar to the Japanese console released a few months back.

Hyrule Warriors dev interested in working with Disney, Star Wars, Mario
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 18 Comments
Tecmo Koei is using the Zelda series for Nintendo’s upcoming Dynasty Warriors-styled Wii U game, Hyrule Warriors. But Zelda isn’t the only prominent IP the company has interest in utilizing.
“Disney, Star Wars and Mario are just a few of the various franchises we’d like to work with,” Tecmo Koei vice president Hibashi Kinuma told ONM this month.
Before Tecmo Koei can even begin considering other partnerships and crossovers, work on Hyrule Warriors will need to be completed first. That game is scheduled to arrive later this year.
Thanks to joclo for the tip.
Free DLC on Wii/DS won’t be accessible after Wi-Fi Connection shutdown
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 2 Comments
There are a number of Wii and DS games that offer free downloadable content. For instance, players can download a bunch of additional puzzles for Picross 3D and Professor Layton at no extra costs.
If this DLC interests you, you’ll need to grab it before the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection closes on May 20. While paid DLC will still be accessible, free content will be good for good.
A Nintendo representative told NintendoWorldReport:
“The bonus Layton puzzles and such will no longer be available. So you need to get them before the service shuts down. Paid stuff will still be available, though (Wii Shop Channel, etc.).”

2D platformer Twisted Fusion heading to the Wii U eShop
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
Twisted Fusion, a new open-world action platformer coming from one-man developer Leuvision, is heading to the Wii U eShop.
Twisted Fusion stars Cora, a girl who is stranded on a new world with strange creatures. She’s trying to find her way home, but an enemy shrouded in darkness won’t make things easy.
The game features a day/night system and weather system. Furthermore, environments change based on what the time of day/weather is.
Bigger enemies will appear at night. Also, enemies become much angrier when it’s raining. Cora will wield dual water pistols to take down foes.
“The whole world is connected without level select, but you don’t need to backtrack to progress,” creator Lewis Pugh told NintendoWorldReport. “Certain areas of the game can also be completed out of order.”
Twisted Fusion will be available in Q4 2014.
