The birds are chirping, except for the flappy ones... oh and I heard them mention something about Nintendo & EA... DICE!

Did you read that right? I think you did... the little birdies came back with updates, so I hope you're hungry.

One is furthering talks with Nintendo for a new IP (the one I think would be freaking awesome), while another provided us with a confirmation that another game will be in the works for the 3DS (that I should be able to talk about sooner than later)... i'm revving up at the red light. (So at least i'd be able to provide something on one of those.)


I can't forget about the bird that provided me info out of left field (today), Nintendo was at Dice this past week... but why? We shall see (and if I wasn't supposed to say anything... i'm really sorry, but it isn't exactly exposing anything other than a trip i'm extremely curious about). Has EA learned their lesson... and plans on capitalizing on Nintendo's growing methods in business? (Again) We shall see.




I was playing Company of Heroes on Saturday, and felt that games like this... would be great for the Wii U. I don't care for the limited camera (since I like to zoom out the way you can in the RUSE game) but the gamepad immediately came to mind. That could be used for the overall map, and the AI can be optimized for the format and allow for decisions to be made using the screen (in addition to buttons being used for commands).

You could get the PC version for $4 or less at the link below, so if they were to do one for the Wii U, it should definitely be GOTY+. There are advantages to having the second screen and games like this are perfect examples for me. I could even see games like DOTA 2 working with the gamepad based on the screen, it could provide various actions to select, and the UI could be customized based on the players preference.


By the way, if you don't know what happened with Flappy Bird to make the developer want to pull the game from iOS & Android (regardless of its success)... the game says enough. He can still revise it though to avoid his game resembling other IPs (i.e. Super Mario Bros).
