Wii U Developers Licensed To Use Havok Physics, Animations

Havok, creators of one of the most popular physics engines in the industry, has entered into a global licensing agreement to allow all developers working on Wii U projects to use their physics engine and animation technologies. With well-known games and franchises like Assassin's Creed, BioShock, Half-Life, Uncharted, The Elder Scrolls, and L.A. Noire using Havok technologies, this could be a big step for Nintendo in reestablishing themselves in the third party market.

Freaking awesome. It looks like Nintendo is going all out with the Wii U. I'm so glad.

Fishy Fingers4429d ago

Havok is available on basically any device that could play a game (including Gamecube, Wii)so hardly shocking to see the Wii U support it.

Get to use them for "free" (or they'll get a massive discounted price). It's a big deal - believe me.

Wii U games that still haven't been ported to Switch

The Nintendo Switch is potentially nearing its lifespan, and several Wii U games haven't found their way over as ports yet.

I think it's better to leave games like AC: Amiibo Festival and Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash forgotten on the Wii U. Best case, they are mediocre games; worse case, they are very bad. It was a dark time for the Wii U, and the first only exists to sell Amiibo cards, whereas the second was put together in a couple of months with a shoestring budget, and it shows.

The rest of the list does have some really cool games, though. I would love to see a remake of Star Fox Zero with decent controls, and Xenoblade X doesn't require that much modification to work.

How would XCX work without dual screens functionality?

Cacabunga2d ago

Same as Paper Mario color splash. One of the best wiiu games and getting even better with dual screen. Same reason why i prefer Splatoon 1

This article leaves out Nintendo's most controversial game to date devils Third.
I personally found the cover system really fun in that one compared to at the time most fps games completely lacking one.

Stevonidas2d ago

Devil's Third is HIGHLY underrated.

They should remake Starfox to the switch 2. Very beautiful game during gamecube days.

Kirby is always ignored or forgotten by people, so good to see it mentioned here.
Play Kirby Canvas Curse on DS, and then play Rainbow Curse on Wii U, they're really fun and unique 'platformers' without any actual jumping.

Telltale shares new images from The Wolf Among Us 2, release 2024

The long-awaited sequel to the 2013 narrative adventure is currently expected out sometime in 2024.

BlackOni2d ago

Oh hell yeah! I feel like this was one hell of an underrated game, and I'm glad to see that a part 2 is coming.

jznrpg2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

This was my favorite Telltale game. I’m definitely going to play this. Hopefully it has less jank than the Telltale games had. I didn’t think it would happen but I’m happy it’s coming

gold_drake2d ago

right? it was sooo good, cant wait for part 2

BlackCountryBob2d ago

Great, loved the first game and happy a sequel is coming but after such a lengthy development, are Telltale gonna be releasing it episodic with non specific time delays between episodes? If it is episodic, they need to have a full set of dates laid out for every episode so we know what we are getting & when like Resident Evil Revelations 2 did, buying episode 1 and not knowing when the rest will come is just unacceptable in 2024.

I always loved Telltale games. They were like those old choose your own adventures books.
