Avalanche (Just Cause) - Wii U dev kits collecting dust, Nintendo is hard to reach

SAN FRANCISCO (PressFire.no): Avalanche is a game studio that readily admits that they get extra high pulse of the idea of ​​new consoles.

The first "Just Cause" came in 2006, around the turn of the previous console generation. The sequel has evolved to become more of a game than just a technology demo.

Just as described the three bosses in Avalanche difference between the first in the series and "Just Cause 2".

As for Nintendo's Wii U console, it is not particularly enthusiasm to track with the Swedish trio we met in conjunction with the Game Developers Conference.
- It's a bit sad
Avalanche has no plans for Wii U, they say bluntly.

- No. Not at the moment. My kids play "Skylanders Giants" on Wii U. It's pretty much the only dealings I have with the console, says Christofer Sundberg, founder of the studio.

- We actually had some develop consoles that just collected dust. It's a little sad, because we were wanted to do something. I think it is a cool platform, but right now it's not just up to us. We want the game to release an as wide as possible.

- Is it that there are too few Wii U owners?

- Yes, it actually does it, says Sundberg to press four[/b]

[...]
- Nintendo difficult to obtain
User base is therefore too small to Avalanche will take the risk of making a game for the Wii U. There are several examples of this kind of skepticism among developers.

[...]
Christofer Sundberg talks about some of the challenges they have had in trying to achieve cooperation. It is not only the number of console owners who give them little appetite:

- Nintendo have from our point of view has always been difficult to get in. You never quite know where to turn. Now, however, we have managed to get through, via the publisher we work with.

- I think Nintendo has much to gain by going the same way as Sony, by stretching out a hand to the developers so as to include even more, says Sundberg.

- If it happened, would be developing felt more enthusiasm, and perhaps had wanted to make something cool and good. In Nintendo's case, it could have acted on the use of GamePad controller for the Wii U.

Well, after the whole hype of casual family gaming died out, it was inevitable that Nintendo would collect the dust.

Dunno where to post this so I 'll just leave it here!

GameCenter CX NC17 - Balloon Fight (with Satoru Iwata) - YouTube

S. Iwata shows up as guest on one of my fav. Jap shows, GameCenter CX. The show is about retro gaming!

Anywhozzle, he interviews The Chief & shares some really interesting info. about how he started in Nintendo, his early career & shit. In the end they challenge each other in a game Iwata made himself. After watching this, I kinda respect him now .. slightly, lol!

@DarkLordMalik moving the discussion here as it's mostly Wii U-centric :)

So....?
Killzone: Mercenary. Uncharted: Golden Abyss. Gravity Rush. Persona 4 Golden. Tearaway. Little Big Planet VITA. Wipeout 2048. That's a lot of games. Bonus, some of them are actually out. ;)
I've already played Persona 4 in HD via emulation on PC. Gravity Rush is great, I agree there. UC: Golden Abyss is nothing like ND's UC games. Both KZ: Mercenary and Tearaway are titles that I'm looking forward to with great interest. If they deliver, then maybe I'll consider a Vita. For now, however, Gravity Rush alone isn't going to make a good case in favor of it.

Pretty damn sure that almost every developer starts working on the next iteration or work after they are done with their previous one. You aren't assuming that they were just sitting on their ass after finishing Xenoblade :p
They do, but they don't announce it a generation in advance and get people's hopes up, only to crush them with mediocre-looking corridor-esque gameplay :p

Have they produced a game in recent times that was actually good? Nope. Definitely not fixed then. :p

They will but they have essentially left any motivation for a Wii U. Super Mario 3D World seems to be straight out of a 3DS concept and doesn't look as big or ambitious. Bayonetta 2 and X are all slated for 2014 release along with Mario Kart 8.
That just tells me that 2014 is the right time to get one. I'm in no gravity rush. Got the PS4 coming this year, remember? ;)

Persona 4 the Golden is the highest rated game on the VITA right now, and it happens to be an HD remaster of a PS2 game with some extra contenet. That is just sad.

Don't worry, I'm not getting the Wii U this year. ;)

Already have my hands full with getting a PS4 and trying to re-build a decent gaming PC.

Wii U + X + price drop in 2014 = instant win!

Lets hope ur X is released in the west next year. I think if in the holidays Wii U performs poorly expect Nintendo to panic and i can see them dropping the basic Wii U down to 220$ around that. A 400$ nexr gen console vs 350$ Wii U murder ho ga aur kuch nhi

    Alan wake 2 is yet to recover it's development costs. Due to no physical release and no steam launch.
    You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.
