Nintendo eShop (OFFICIAL TOPIC)

Ecco l'aggiornamento settimanale del Nintendo eShop di Wii U e 3DS, l’aggiornamento di giovedì 23 ottobre. Tutte le uscite di seguito:

Nintendo eShop (Wii U)

Bayonetta 2 (Nintendo, available October 24) - €49.99/£39.99 (Buy Bayonetta 2 for just €29.99/£24.99 if you have downloaded Bayonetta)
A few months after the events of Bayonetta... Something strange is happening. Angels suddenly appear on the streets and begin to attack. Bayonetta uses her powers and fights back, summoning the demon Gomorrah, but it turns against her. Jeanne dives in to save Bayonetta, taking a fatal blow in the process, and is dragged down to Inferno. With only a short time to save Jeanne's soul, Bayonetta heads for Fimbulventr: a legendary mountain said to house a gateway to the underworld. What lies ahead for Bayonetta?

Bayonetta (Nintendo, available October 24) - €29.99/£24.99 (Buy Bayonetta for just €9.99/£9.99 if you have downloaded Bayonetta 2)
Originally released in 2010, the unforgettable first chapter of the Bayonetta saga introduced the world to "climax action", an explosive blend of dynamic action and saucy style. Armed with a gun in each hand and one on each foot, Bayonetta destroys her opponents with combo attacks that are as beautiful as they are brutal. Dodge enemy attacks with perfect timing to activate Witch Time, leaving your slowed-down opponents defenceless against your barrage of kicks, blows and bullets, then finish them off with a devastating Torture Attack. No angel will stand in Bayonetta's way.

E alla fine sono arrivati i primi video, anche per l'ultima fatica di Wayforward, riguardante l'ultimo capitolo della sua serie più famosa e amata. Ovviamente parliamo della bella Shantae, nella sua ultima avventura in Shantae and the Pirate's Curse per l'eShop del Nintendo 3DS. Ricordiamo che il titolo sarà disponibile il 23 ottobre nell'eShop americano, mentre noi europei dovremmo aspettare come minimo fino a dopo il 15 di novembre, causa traduzioni, a cui Wayforward sta già lavorando assiduamente tutt'ora. Ricordiamo infine che il titolo non uscirà solo su 3DS eShop, ma uscirà anche questo inverno sull'eShop del Nintendo Wii U. Ecco il video dei primi minuti di gioco, di cui vi ho parlato sopra:

NexisGames, lo sviluppatore di due titoli attualmente in sviluppo per Wii U eShop, parliamo ovviamente di UCraft e di The Dance of the Damned, è pronta ad annunciare questa settimana una nuova ip, che arriverà sulle console Nintendo. Non si capisce ancora ne la console di riferimento e ovviamente di cosa si possa trattare, probabilmente il Wii U eShop visto i precedenti titoli, lo scopriremo prossimamente, nel frattempo ecco un tweet dagli sviluppatori:

Report: Nexis Games Community Revealing New 3rd Party IP This Week! | Give us your heart! http://t.co/9ikpE9SziU via @NexisGames

Vi ricordate l'annuncio di un nuovo titolo di Nexis Games, questa settimana, di cui vi avevamo parlato ieri in un nostro articolo? Ebbene oggi, dopo neanche un giorno, la stessa Nexis Games annuncia questo suo nuovo progetto, denominato Pilgrim, che arriverà presto su Nintendo Wii U. Ecco una descrizione e qualche screenshots riguardanti il gioco, direttamente da NexisGames:

Welcome Nintendo Gamers! Nexis Games is excited to launch here at home our new Community Coverage category targeting 3rd party news and promotions exclusively for the Nintendo Development Community at large connecting media and gamers collectively. Launching this service from Nexis Games are new details uncovering an upcoming gem confirmed for Wii U:

Understand: All New Material Shown Are Of Extremely Early Builds.

Pilgrim is a clever game coming to Nintendo Wii U that is unlike anything coming to the system. Nexis Community was quick to reach out to the studio behind it. A game about choices, consequence, and time. Pilgrim takes place over a 100 year period as you play out the lives of multiple characters related to another through lineage. The main objective is to successfully pave the way for future generations in a family by making the most out of your life today to a degree of lasting effect. Time isn’t always on your side however. Pilgrim on Wii U begins its adventure opening to Andrew Stewart a young Scottish immigrant being motivated by his parents to sail over seas to America in order to thrive. Once stateside, Andrew can find employment, mature into an adult and fall in love leading into a family before growing old and passing away. The main objective is to mature and pass your life experiences to your kin and live long enough to make a difference in their lives as they may learn and carry after you have passed on. The main antagonist fighting your chances of success is only time.

Pilgrim has various RPG elements that create a solid foundation holding up its unique gameplay. As players level up, they grow in age and increase max health. After a certain level your health caps. The more you increase in age afterwards the lower max health decreases leading to only one inevitability. Death. While growing up is a key objective element in Pilgrim systematically accomplishing goals ideally within key moments before players let opportunities slip away. it will also increasingly work against players challenging them to make the right decisions under multiple circumstances across various amounts of time. Levels equate to generations, and players have a bucket list of objectives to complete in a fixed amount of years, however some generations are allotted different amounts of time. One generation could expect a lifespan of 30 years and another only 15 before natural death sets in. It all depends on the player. Its an interesting balance that adds a deal of strategy and depth enticing multiple ways to experience Pilgrim encouraging players to return to the experience over and over.

Players will combat dangers that impede your ability to survive forcing you to make decisions in the game to better protect your safety but not in traditional formats you might come to expect. In Pilgrim players suffer from health conditions such as heart disease and polio but such inflictions can be prevented if players are properly vaccinated or actively maintain healthy eating habits. Interestingly there is no map directing players and Pilgrim doesn’t have a health bar displayed making things even more challenging forcing players to rely on visual clues and audible expressions to unlock their health status or preserve it by keeping an ear out avoiding a car coming from around corners dangerously.

Pilgrim’s intriguing concept in its gameplay mechanics promise much and those inside Disintegration Games have agreed to take the time to explore its complexity with Nexis Community today in a Nexis Community Developer Interview
