Keep your quarters ready for next month.
Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara is being aimed for an August release on Wii U. Capcom told Nintendo World Report that the game had experienced some "unexpected dev issues." The game, which released on competing platforms last June, is an arcade two-pack featuring late-era Capcom arcade beat-em-ups. We wrote about the game in the ramp up to the original June 18 release date.
While the development issues were not specified, rumors have circulated that they were related to the "drop-in" online multiplayer mode.
Paladinrja, if you are implying that we are somehow late to this story, or trying to sweep it under the rug, you are wrong. I personally have emailed Capcom's PR rep about 6 times trying to figure out what the problem is, and our site director Neal Ronaghan has been bombarding them on twitter ever since June 18th passed without any sign of the game.
So before you call out the media for lack of information, understand that we're trying. Developers and publishers are not always willing to give out the information that we're asking for, and that you're interested in.
I've also emailed the PR rep about 5 times asking about the presence of Off-TV play on the Wii U version of D&D, and have yet to hear anything substantial back.
So I heard a rumor that this game released on other platforms with some significant bugs, and Capcom failed the Wii U test so Nintendo is making them fix some issues.
It's the reason Bethesda doesn't do WiiU stuff.
[size=78%]These constant doom'n'gloom articles most sites are writing up don't make me worry about Nintendo as much as they make me concerned for the industry as a whole.[/size]
