No Need for Speed: Rivals for Wii U due to poor sales of Most Wanted
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 8 Comments
Last year’s Need for Speed game, Most Wanted, landed on Wii U earlier this year as a late (but impressive) port. The same can’t be said of this year’s release, Rivals.
Rivals’ non-appearance on Wii U can be attributed to one reason: sales. Creative director Craig Sullivan provided the TSA with the following explanation regarding the decision to leave the platform out of the mix this year:

2DS screen repair costs more than $65
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 6 Comments
You could argue that it’d be tougher to break a 2DS than a 3DS or 3DS XL. After all, unlike its counterparts, Nintendo’s latest handheld iteration lacks a hinge.
Still, the 2DS’ screens are a bit vulnerable. There is no clamshell design, so they’re always exposed.
Let’s say you were to break the system’s screens. How much would a fix cost?
One unlucky girl recently found her system destroyed after dropping it down a flight of concrete stairs, causing the screens to break entirely. Nintendo offered to provide a fix for $65 (not to mention a shipping and handling fee).
So remember: be extra careful with the 2DS… or you may end up having to pay of the system’s cost for Nintendo to fix/replace the screens!

Knite & The Ghost Lights Kickstarter promises Wii U version
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 3 Comments
Last month, Mobot Studios opened a Kickstarter for “Knite & The Ghost Lights” – a new side-scrolling adventure game. It promises “a mixture of adventure, storytelling, and action from games we know and love like Metroid and Castlevania, but with a completely fresh feel for today’s gamer.”
Mobot Studios added in support for a Wii U version of a couple of weeks ago, but the news kind of went under the radar. If Knite & The Ghost Lights is funded, you can expect to see it on the console “close” to the game’s launch.
Now here’s the thing: Knite & The Ghost Lights only has about six days left to reach its Kickstarter goal. A little over $18,000 has been raised out of the required $35,000 total.
You can show your support for Knite & The Ghost Lights by checking out the official Kickstarter and donating here.
