Update: Retracted – Creator claims How to Survive rips off Kickstarter project Roam
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 5 Comments
Update: Sharr has since retracted his original Kickstarter update – you can find the latest post here.
Earlier this year, a small indie team launched a Kickstarter for “Roam”. The survival simulator draws quite a few similarities to the recently-released How to Survive. Creator Ryan Sharr now claims in a Kickstarter update that 505 Games and Eko Software carried out ‘blatant theft’ for use in their own project.
It’s true that Roam and How to Survive share many of the same ideas, but Sharr isn’t making accusations out of the blue. Games do tend to share similar concepts from time to time, but 505 Games actually contacted Sharr during the Kickstarter campaign in hopes of arranging a publishing deal. It was refused, and 505 Games ended up announcing – and launching – How to Survive just a few months later.
Sharr has not yet determined how he will proceed. You can find his full notice after the break, which should give you better insight into the situation.

Rayman Legends sells under 1,500 copies in its first week in Japan
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 20 Comments
Rayman Legends was the second best-selling Wii U title in Japan during the week of October 14th. Sadly, that’s not saying much. Dengeki Online reports (via ASCII Media Works) Rayman Legends sold just 1,435 copies in its debut week at retail.
Nintendo published Rayman Legends as a Japanese Wii U exclusive on October 17th. Dengeki’s data period ended on the 20th, so the site’s figure accounts for less than a full week of sales. Still, we can’t help but be disappointed, even though the game’s slow start is far from surprising.

Batman: Arkham Origins cuts down on GamePad features, but apparently runs best on Wii U
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 10 Comments
Warner Bros. never managed to share any concrete details about the GamePad features implemented for Batman: Arkham Origins’ Wii U release. It wasn’t until players started getting their hands on the title over the past couple of days that we started to learn how Origins takes advantage the controller.
As it turns out, there are fewer GamePad features compared to last year’s Batman release on Wii U, Arkham City. It’s mainly limited to map usage and communications with Alfred. Origins doesn’t support weapon select and leveling up on the GamePad, and the same goes for decryption sequences previously present in Arkham City.
Perhaps the dip in GamePad functionality was worth it, though. Reports relayed through player experiences indicate Batman: Arkham Origins runs the best on Wii U with fewer framerate drops than the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions. There’s also no screen tearing, fewer glitches, and apparently better lighting as well.
Batman: Arkham Origins may not be as fully-featured as Arkham City from a GamePad perspective, but it sounds like it turned out rather well on Wii U. Although you won’t get the multiplayer mode found in the other versions, it’s $10 less, supports off-TV play, and even allows for achievement posts to be distributed through Miiverse.

Little Orbit has announced through an official Facebook page that Young Justice: Legacy has been cancelled for Wii U and Wii.
The decision to pull the plug on both versions was “based on several factors.” For one thing, there were concerns about Young Justice’s quality on Wii U and Wii, not to mention a lack of support from retailers. Little Orbit still intends to ship the 3DS version of Young Justice: Legacy.
The official cancellation notice reads:
