Wii

Has anyone seen any Smash Bros. Wii U ads on TV? I've yet to see one.

It certainly won't be coming from Ubisoft that's for sure. As it happens Ubisoft have just announced a new Monopoly game and guess what platform it's skipping?

Quotes from Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot. http://www.polygon.com/2014/6/9/5793660/ubisoft-unreleased-wii-u-games So I don't think it is a mature title. Zombi U trademark was abandoned on March 24th, 2014. http://trademarks.justia.com/857/61/...-85761502.html That's not really long enough for Bandai Namco to have it in development. Maybe Nintendo are funding this with Bandai Namco publishing it. October 2015. Maybe. This is strange.

It doesn't make any sense. Namco Bandai publishing an Ubisoft game. Why? Where did they pluck that info about it being set in New York though? Ubisoft are finished with the Wii U, mature titles at least and have said so. I would like to know what this finished game is that they're sitting on until Wii U sales had picked up. Wii U should see a boost this Christmas so maybe early in the New Year they might release it.

That was exactly my thinking too. The majority of the time the items are really sh1tty or the very good items have hugely inflated star points requirements and sell out quickly. I've given up on ever getting something decent from them. I'm not doing survey after survey to register any more points. It's not worth it.

Watch Dogs well and truly flopped on Wii U. It placed at number 14 on the Wii U specific chart. http://www.chart-track.co.uk/index.jsp?c=p/software/uk/latest/index_test.jsp&ct=110039

Just read that on mynintendonews. That's a brilliant start. Half a million already. I think it'll break the million mark easily in the States.

I'm going to hit the bricks and mortar on Friday. I want this day 1 so couldn't trust any site to get it here on time. I should really pre order just to be safe, kept hoping to find it cheaper elsewhere but the best I can find it for is a €50 note. And the adapter is way overpriced for all it does at the minute. €70 is the best deal for that that I can find.

A couple of other things they could do is stop prostituting the franchise out to external developers and stop rushing the games out to meet certain deadlines. I think Sonic Boom was doomed from the get go but other games could have been better if they'd more time in development. Dimps were involved in the day time levels of Unleashed, widely regarded as the best aspect of that game. They were then hired to do all of Sonic Colours. Again, a very good game though Jim doesn't like it. What happened after that? And there should be some input from Sonic Team. There was none in Sonic Boom as far as I know. With so much chopping and changing they'll never have a base for a AAA Sonic game. The comparison with Nintendo was very apt.

Pic of the day. The Orbital Gate, which was shown in yesterday's post, looks like a space station, as you can see in this picture. There was also a pic of the day where the fighters are going through the center gate. …By the way, this model is actually a trophy. Diorama style. The Orbital Gate Assault stage actually took a whole year to complete. http://numbers.kotaku.com/total-hours-of-smash-bros-for-wii-u-played-so-far-and-1662648576

That's quackers. Ducky Kong confirmed.

Got a problem with some Nintendo hardware? Well now would not be a good time to send it for repair. http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/warehouse-fire-hits-nintendo-s-uk-customer-repair-company I'd want some amount of free eShop credit if my save files were destroyed.

There's also a rumour that Bayonetta 2 sold 68,000 copies last month in the U.S. We'll have to wait for official NPD figures to release to confirm this.

I thought I was looking at Rosalina's amiibo.
