Project CARS Will Showcase The Hidden Power of the Wii U – Slightly Mad Studios

While Project CARS has been the subject of much hype following the announcement of PS4 and Xbox One versions, developer Slightly Mad Studios isn’t ignoring the other formats. In fact, when GamingBolt spoke creative director Andy Tudor, he believed that Project CARS would serve to demonstrate the Wii U’s true capabilities.

Asked if the Wii U’s lesser specs would undermine the game’s key selling point, the visuals, Tudor responded, “No, if anything I think it’ll showcase the hidden power that the Wii U has. There’s no equivalent of Project CARS on Wii U, yet we hear the shouts from Nintendo fans loud and clear that they can’t wait to get their hands on this kind of experience so we hope to make them proud with the quality of the visuals.

“Sure there are maybe more stringent technical constraints but the same core experience will remain, plus additional features that take advantage of the controller’s unique second screen and touch interface.”

He is right about the console having no equivalent to Project CARS, what with major third party developers skipping the Wii U for one reason or another. We’ll find out how Project CARS performs when it releases in Q3/Q4 of 2014.

Nintendo acquires former plaintiff's patents at sheriff's sale

Nintendo acquired IA Labs' entire patent portfolio at a Maryland sheriff's sale, Nintendo announced today.
IA Labs filed suit against Nintendo in 2010, claiming that the company violated two IA patents by developing Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus. IA Labs filed the patent in question, US7121982 B2, Dec. 4, 2002. It was granted Oct. 17, 2006 and covered a "computer interactive isometric exercise system" that would "measure a force applied by a user to the effector."
A lower court ruled in favor of Nintendo in 2012, while a federal appeals court upheld the ruling in June 2013.
IA Labs was also ordered to pay Nintendo for a portion of the legal costs incurred. According to a statement from Nintendo, IA failed to do so, and the sheriff's sale was held to sell IA Labs' remaining assets. Nintendo's patent portfolio acquisition will serve "as partial repayment for litigation costs."
"Nintendo's track record demonstrates that we vigorously defend patent lawsuits, like the IA Labs lawsuit, when we believe we have not infringed another party's patent," said Richard Medway, Nintendo of America's vice president and deputy general counsel. "This includes holding those who sue Nintendo responsible for the costs and expenses incurred in patent litigation. Nintendo has a long history of developing innovative products while respecting the intellectual property rights of others."

Anyone hear of a 3ds eshop game called SteamWorld dig? Is considered a mix of Dig Dug, Metroid, and Terrerria. It has gotten amazing reviews, it's $8.99 I'm downloading it.

They eventually also released the game on Steam, I'm sure it's like half the price probably.
 
Off Topic: New Like system on the forum ?

I feel like they should give a western the license to make a cheap spin-off where all the anime teenagers are douchebags and the evil adults are trying to hold them down by teaching them life lessons.

My local Target had Ninja Gaiden 3 clearanced at $28 a couple weeks ago, now it's down to $18. I'm thinking next time I go it'll be about $10, and I'll bite. It's gotta be worth that, plus I need a little blood and violence mixed in with these Nintendo games.
