Ubisoft says they have Watch_Dogs on the way to Wii U in response to question about future support for the console
Posted on 12 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in General Gaming, News, Wii U | 5 Comments
“Ubisoft has a long-standing relationship with Nintendo. Most recently this has been reinforced by our varied and high-quality line-up for Wii U, with big titles including Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag, Just Dance 2014, Rayman Legends, Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Blacklist already released and Watch Dogs on the way.”
– Ubisoft representative
The above doesn’t seem indicative of either a lack of support or a plethora of it coming forward– it’s just a standard PR response with very little going on under the hood.

Child of Light details
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Polygon recently published a new Child of Light preview with new details about the upcoming downloadable game. Read on below for the information, plus comments from writer Jeffrey Yohalem.
– Combat system has traditional elements but has a twist
– Game rewards clever thinking over button-pushing dexterity
– One level takes place in a subterranean network of caves back with big spiders and three-legged archers
– One player can play as Aurora while another controls the floating spark sidekick Igniculus
– Head through the caves and battle enemies
– Combat system based largely on the system from Grandia 2
– Sneak up on enemies in order to gain an advantage in battle
– Can attack first if you drop on enemies from above or behind
– Battles are set on several raised platforms
– Platforms were inspired by the designs of opera sets
– Bar at the bottom screen tracks the amount of time between each combatant’s attack
– Small pictures of each combatant will move along the bar as they prepare to attack
– At the end of the bar is a smaller bar colored red
– Characters that are attacked while their picture is in the red zone will have their attack “interrupted”
– This resets their charging time and starting them over from the beginning of the bar
– Dialogue is structured like an epic ballad
– Every second and fourth line in its poem-like structure rhyme
– Yohalem wrote the first 10 pages of the script before he realized it “had to be a poem”
– He then decided to write the script directly into poem format

Michel Ancel thinks of himself as an “apprentice”, Shigeru Miyamoto as a “master”
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 2 Comments
Michel Ancel may be the creator of Rayman, but he doesn’t consider himself to be on the same level as Shigeru Miyamoto.
Ancel spoke briefly about how he views himself in comparison to Miyamoto while speaking with ONM recently. Ancel feels he’s more of an “apprentice” whereas “Miyamoto is a master” – or perhaps an “advanced apprentice”.
He said:
“It’s very kind of you to have me with such talented people, but I really consider myself to be an apprentice, where Miyamoto is a master. Well, maybe an advanced apprentice!”
