Miiverse Updated in Preparation for Launch on 3DS

Miiverse received yet another update today. All in all, it did not change much. The biggest change included a redesign of the communities page. Now, all communities are shown in one list, but you can filter them using a menu. Also, you can no longer view the number of “yeahs” you have received on your profile. Instead, you will see the ones you have given. Another feature changes the default display of a community to now show “player posts” instead of recent posts. One more we noticed was that game communities have the console listed under the title of the game. All of this is in preparation for the launch of Miiverse on 3DS, which is supposed to happen in December 2013.

Below is a message explaining the update, straight from Miiverse Tom, himself:

—————

Hi everyone, it’s Tom at Nintendo.

You may have already found out that we made a change to Miiverse today.

We’re getting ready for the Nintendo 3DS version of Miiverse coming in December, and this update prepares Miiverse so we can accommodate all the new 3DS users who will be joining us once the service begins. To prepare for the large number of new users that we’re anticipating, we worked on cleaning up a lot of things behind the doors, and made some changes on how Miiverse works on the outside. When the 3DS version service begins, you’ll notice newly created communities for 3DS games will show up right by the existing communities on Wii U.

Here are the key changes that were made to both Wii U and web versions with today’s update:

1. We put a fresh coat of paint on the community list screen. It now displays more communities, and on the Wii U version there’s a filter button that shows the communities by their categories like before. You can also press the “Favorite Communities” button on the top right of the screen to show a list of communities that you marked as your favorites.

2. Instead of showing the total number of Yeahs you received, the profile screen now show the total number of Yeahs you gave to others. Like with the spirit of Thanksgiving, we made this change so everyone can focus on giving Yeahs to posts and users they like and respect. The number of Yeahs will still be displayed on each individual posts, so good posts and drawings will still get a lot of Yeahs. Beginning this Thanksgiving and beyond the holidays, I hope people can give Yeahs and be thankful to others.

3. We also changed the default display setting when you enter a community. It now displays posts made by people who played the game first. You can always press the “All Posts” button to display posts from everyone.

The announcement that Miiverse will be coming to Nintendo 3DS was made in the Nintendo Direct last month, and everyone at Nintendo are excited and looking forward to the change. If you already have a Nintendo Network ID, you can use that to log right in on your 3DS. Please visit the official Nintendo website to find out more.

Happy Thanksgiving!

[X1] Forza 5 will require a one time internet connection at launch

[X1] Forza 5 will require a one time internet connection at launch

Forza 5 is basically selling itself with the intriguing new Drivatar approach to AI, wherein the game features no pre-programmed AI and instead a ghost version of you will race on your behalf, making use of their repeated behavior to mimic how you'd race if you were actually in control. The Drivatars of random racers from around the world will be what you find yourself racing against in the single-player campaign.

It is certainly an ambitious idea and it will lean heavily on the use of the Xbox One's cloud and online features. As a result it has been confirmed in an interview with IGN that Forza 5 will require a one time internet connection.

"So when you first boot up the game, we're going to ask you to log in," explained Dan Greenawalt, studio head at Turn 10 Studios. "And when you log in you're going to get the Drivatars and you're also going to get a whole bunch of content: tracks and cars. Our production schedule is such that we are putting them in as late as possible and that means making them free as downloadable content on Day One."

It seems that Turn 10 will be cramming as much content into this game as possible, so I'm happy to hear the extra content will be made available as a day one download. However, I'll be interested to see what content is actually included on the disc. When you pick up the disc from the store it will only contain a portion of the game, the rest will download when you start it up. Thankfully the recently confirmed feature that allows gamers to play while they download should come in handy here.

Greenawalt comapres Forza 5 to a fridge, claiming that you'll have to "fill it up with food the first time" but afterwards you'll only have to connect when you feel like updating your "fridge". Of course, he warns that your Drivatars will also only update when you connect to the internet, so if you want fresh challenges then you'll need to keep your connection status pretty steady.

"We're not making a launch game. We're making Forza 5, at launch," said Greenawalt.

I am actually okay with this, but that is partially because the Drivatar concept intrigues me. If it is a success I look forward to seeing it implemented somewhat in other racing franchises.

Are you disappointed to hear this? Or will your internet connection prevent this from being an issue?

Trends of launch game review scores across generations

by JC Fletcher on Dec 14th 2012 1:30PM

It can be really interesting to look through a bunch of well-organized data even (especially) if there are no easy conclusions to be drawn from it. Gamasutra's gathering of historical Metacritic/Gamerankings review data for home console launch games is just such a collection of interesting, difficult to interpret numbers.

Aggregated looks at review scores for the launches of systems from the PlayStation to the Wii U show that the PS3, Wii, and Wii U's launch games had the widest spread of review scores – a phenomenon we might attribute to the larger number of reviewing press outlets that were present for those launches.

The average review score was highest for GameCube, and lowest for PlayStation. And surprisingly, the Wii U has almost as many US launch games as the most populated platform, the PS2. That's at least one auspicious statistic for the Wii U's launch lineup, even if many of the games in it are ports.

Okay, it's probably not that memorable but that headline is definitely forgettable. Capcom's intriguing action game, Remember Me, is available today for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Here's the launch trailer; just in case you forgot.

Just don't forget to remember that it isn't connected to that 2010 Robert Pattinson film that goes by the same name.

[PC, PS3] Square Enix confirms Final Fantasy XIV A Realm Reborn for Summer launch

Final Fantasy XIV turned out to be a wake up call to Square Enix; the Japanese developer and publisher has been putting a lot of effort into restoring the game prior to its disappointing launch.

Today the company confirmed that the re-launched Final Fantasy XIV will be made available sometime this Summer for PC and PlayStation 3.

Additionally, they also confirmed that the game will be entering the third phase of its closed beta test this June. The third phase will allow PlayStation 3 users to jump on board and get their first taste of Final Fantasy XIV action and experience the world of Eorzea alongside PC players. It will also introduce participants to new content, including the introduction of two new city states: Ul'dah and Limsa Lominsa.

If you haven't applied for beta entry yet then head over here or here to register your interest.

You can probably expect a release date announcement at E3.

[Wii U] Oxford Street HMV store will host official Wii U launch event in the UK

[Wii U] Oxford Street HMV store will host official Wii U launch event in the UK

America has the Wii U, but Europe isn't far behind. Nintendo has sent out an press release detailing plans for the Wii U's launch in the UK. Specifically they have detailed a official Wii U launch event, which will be hosted by HMV at their flagship Oxford Street store.

Get out your pen and paper (or make an event on your fancy smartphone, people of the future) and take down the following details.

WHAT: Wii U Official Launch Event.
WHERE: HMV, 150 Oxford Street, London.
WHEN: Thursday 29th of November, 2012 from 22:00 until the first official sale at 00:01 on Friday 30th of November.

Be prepared to brave the lines if you are turning up to this event because Nintendo has added an extra twist into the mix, the first 100 customers who queue for the Wii U's launch at the Oxford Street store will also receive a free copy of New Super Mario Bros. U and another game of their choice. Two free games.

If that doesn't draw lines then I'm not sure what will. Who among us is planning to gamble on this launch event?

[Wii, Wii U, DS, 3DS] 400,000 Wii U consoles sold during launch week in US

[Wii, Wii U, DS, 3DS] 400,000 Wii U consoles sold during launch week in US

Last week was a heck of week for the Big N. Speaking with CNET, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime confirmed that over 1.2 million Nintendo consoles were sold in the United States over the last week, 400,000 of which were sales for the brand new Wii U. Thanks to Black Friday deals and the general holiday shopping rush, the original Wii sold 300,000 units of its own while the DS and 3DS moved 275,000 and 250,000 units respectively.

Speaking specifically of the Wii U launch, Fils-Aime says that stores sold out quickly and the company is doing its best to re-stock shelves quickly. "Wii U is essentially sold out of retail and we are doing our best to continually replenish stock," he said. "Retailers are also doing their best to get the product to store shelves. But as soon as product hits retail, they're selling out immediately."

Whether by design or not will be up for debate, but the number is still shy of the Wii's launch week which saw 475,000 consoles fly off shelves in November of 2006. "Wii was a unique phenomenon," Fils-Aime explained. "You couldn't walk into a retailer and buy a Wii until spring of 2009. We've certainly learned many lessons from that and we are replenishing retailers more quickly this time around. We are looking to have as much product into retail as possible. It's driven by consumer response."

Meanwhile, although the original DS somewhat surprisingly outsold the 3DS last week, Fils-Aime explained that the 3DS "continues on record-setting pace" with more than 6 million units sold in the US during its first 21 months, out-pacing the DS which sold about a million less than that during the same length of time beginning in 2004.

[PS3, X360] Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance poised to get post launch DLC

[PS3, X360] Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance poised to get post launch DLC

It looks like Platinum Games' Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance's will be receiving some post launch DLC according to a filmed roundtable with producer Yuji Kurekado from this year's E3.

“We do have plans for some download content after the release from the game that will allow you to play maybe as a different character or some new missions.

Sounds good, but unfortunately the news came hot on the heels of confirmation that we won’t be taking Raiden’s sword into head-to-head battles with other players.

We don’t have any plans for competitive online play or anything like that."

No further details were provided, so from here I suppose it is time to start the fan speculation. Personally, I'll be happy to play as Gray Fox in a Metal Gear Rex fight, but that could be a dream. Originally, the nugget managed to sneak under the radar but was bought to everyone's attention by Gamerzines.

[PS3, X360] Ubisoft celebrates Rayman 3 HD's release with a launch trailer
Remember Rayman before the existence of those cursed Rabbids? Well, I do. Rayman Origins was a nice throw-back title, and now you can get an even more enjoyable throwback with the release of a high definition remaster of Rayman 3 for PSN and XBLA.
It'll set you back $9.99 / £7.99 / 800 MSP if you are eager, and I'd say it is pretty worthwhile.

[Wii U] Darksiders II is a Wii U Launch Title

[Wii U] Darksiders II is a Wii U Launch Title

Darksiders II will be available on the Wii U from "day one" Hayden Dalton, lead designer at developer Vigil Games, told Digital Spy in a recent interview. Moreover, the developer has committed a small team dedicated solely to making use of the Wii U's unique controller capabilities.

"That's been very interesting to see what those guys are doing, and they're making efforts to make sure we do use it in more than a slapdash way," said Dalton. "It's basically the core game, but then with added abilities to do certain things that you can't do on the other consoles."

"One of the things that we did, when we were originally going to show it off, was that you could equip stuff directly. So, for instance, I could be running along and I could click on another piece and I could put it on as I'm running through the game," he explained. "That's huge, it's not breaking up the game in a way, I'm not going into a menu and assigning it, I'm literally just tapping as I'm playing. We're not basically heavily changing the core game to support the control system, but the control system will be an enhancement of the core game."

Darksiders II will also launch on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 this June. Make sure to check out the game's latest trailer here.

[PC, PS3, X360] Breaking News: Game UK not stocking Mass Effect 3 at launch

[PC, PS3, X360] Breaking News: Game UK not stocking Mass Effect 3 at launch

It's spreading all across the internet like wildfire, but it looks like GAME UK isn't going to be stocking Mass Effect 3 at launch. Or SSX. Or any Electronic Arts titles until they can come to an agreement with GAME regarding certain aspects of their business model.

Everything is a bit hazy right now, GAME is claiming that they are making a stance and are deciding not to stock EA's games due for "commercial reasons", they had the following to say in a statement:

Quote:We currently have a supply issue with regards to Mass Effect 3, which means that GAME and gamestation will not be able to fulfil orders for Mass Effect 3 at this time. We want to give customers as much notice about this as possible and provide them with a range of options ahead of launch.

We appreciate that this is disappointing for our customers, and we apologise sincerely for the inconvenience that this will cause. We value the loyalty of our customers very highly and as a gesture of goodwill we are providing the following: Customers who have pre-ordered in store*, will have the opportunity to add £5 worth of Reward points to their card if they visit us from 1st March through to 16th March 2012.Customers who have placed a deposit for the title* will receive a refund as well as the £5 worth of Reward points between 1st - 16th March 2012.Customers who have pre-ordered online, will be provided with an online voucher to the value of £5 to be spent on any purchase on our sites.

Meanwhile, EA has pointed fans towards other options in an attempt to keep us all updated on the current situation. They point gamers towards alternative options (which will also now be offering the N7 Collector's Edition) including Amazon.co.uk, Play.com, Zavvi.com and ShopTo.net.

So anyone who is being experiencing difficulty because of this development should definitely check out those sites to secure yourself an N7 addition.

We'll keep our ears to the ground to see what exactly transpires here.

The above e-mail describes a possible problem between EA and GAME UK that could have contributed to this scenario, you can click it the image for a larger version
