Staying true to the original
The original NES version of DuckTales was an entirely single player experience, however as anyone who's played the game will know, there's plenty of room for multiplayer considering all those nephews Scrooge McDuck has. Now that the classic title is being remade, everyone wants to know if Capcom or WayForward...
The remastered version won't be coming to 3DS either
The gaming world has been buzzing since Capcom announced DuckTales: Remastered and as expected people have been clamoring for information on the upcoming release. Thankfully, senior vice president Christian Svensson has been on hand to give us a few answers to our neverending questions. Earlier...
"Frankly, you guys asked for it"

Ch-Ch-Chip n' Dale!
Gamers got a huge injection of nostalgia today with the news that Duck Tales: Remastered will be coming to Wii U and other platforms this summer. Back in the 1980s and '90s Capcom released a series of Disney games on the NES and SNES, each of them with their own charm. In an interview with Polygon, Rey Jimenez, the producer of...

We kid you not
PAX East is underway, and we can expect some tasty new reveals over the coming weekend.

Heavy Hitter
Boxing is a fascinating sport. Two human beings enter the ring, then skilfully and tactfully beat the tar out of one another using nothing but their own gloved fists. It’s the perfect fodder for a video game, and that’s exactly why the Punch-Out!! series is such a classic. Originally released in North America as Mike Tyson's...
Barring any approval disasters
Toki Tori 2 was one of the first games announced for the Wii U eShop, before we even knew how the platform would look. An original launch day release target shifted to December, but was then pushed back to an unspecified date due to a late decision that the game wasn't ready. As the developer's main man Collin van...
Adults, now you can browse whenever you want
It seems that the restriction on 18+ content on the Nintendo Wii U eShop — and 3DS eShop, it should be noted — has finally been lifted. Games rated PEGI 18 (USK 18 in Germany) were only accessible during certain hours each day, from 11pm in some European countries until 3am — only giving four hours...

Former Call of Duty dev announces Blood of the Werewolf for the Wii U eShop
Scientifically Proven Entertainment is a studio which has its fingers in many pies. It produces award-winning apps, content for TV and — possibly most importantly — video games. Speaking of which, it gives us great pleasure to exclusively confirm that the company's...
Not picked up F-Zero yet? Hurry!
It feels like it was only yesterday when Nintendo announced it would be offering seven classic NES and SNES titles for the budget price of just 30c/30p as part of its celebration of the 30th anniversary of the Famicom. Since then we've had Balloon Fight and F-Zero made available for pennies, and now that time has...
The game's engine doesn't support the handheld
Last month we exclusively revealed that retro-styled platformer Another Castle would be coming to the Wii U eShop. The colourful 2D platformer is the pride and joy of David Byers, who has developed the game under the guise of Uncade. Uncade has released games for mobile platforms in the past, and...
Nintendo's digital strategy continues to evolve

Could Strider Hiryu be coming to the Wii U eShop?
Capcom's Strider is one of the seminal arcade titles of the '80s, thanks to its balletic gameplay, amazing visuals and fantastic setting. Given the amazing potential of the premise (who doesn't want to be a futuristic ninja?), it's surprising that Capcom hasn't done more to exploit the character...
