New details about the cancelled Pilotwings game for Wii, including head tracking glasses peripheral
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 5 Comments
Factor 5 almost delivered a new Pilotwings game on two separate occasions. The first instance was during the GameCube era, when the studio imagined a title that would have taken place in the real world during the height of the Cold War.
The second time a partnership with Nintendo almost emerged was following Factor 5’s relationship with Sony and after the release of Wii. In contrast to what had been planned for the GameCube, the Wii project had a lighter tone. Factor 5 was interested in creating an open world loosely based on Earth with various aircraft and missions.

Inside, which has received much praise from both the media and players, is heading to Switch. Director Arnt Jensen revealed the news to Famitsu. That’s all the information we have at present, but the announcement itself is huge.

Here’s a trailer:

Attack on Titan 2 announced for Switch
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 21 Comments
Attack on Titan 2 is coming to Switch, Koei Tecmo has announced. The news was shared during an event at the Tokyo Game Show. Along with Switch, Koei Tecmo will be releasing the game on PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, and Steam.
We won’t have to wait on a localization announcement for this one, thankfully. The game was already confirmed for North America and Europe earlier in the year when the original reveal took place. Switch isn’t officially set for the west since today’s news was only just shared for Japan, but given how the major games for the platform are being localized thus far (Atelier, Nights of Azure 2), we expect Koei Tecmo to have an update for the west soon.
Here’s the original teaser for Attack on Titan 2:
Attack on Titan 2 will release in early 2018.
