Ninja Pizza Girl Headed to Wii U eShop

Posted on February 15, 2016 by Jason Nason

Ninja Pizza Girl, another Kickstarter success story, is headed to the Wii U eShop. The game hit its funding goal in 2014 and has been released on Steam already, but the game has now popped up on Nintendo.com. While the game is currently listed as TBA, this does signal that the game may be headed to the eShop soon.

Ninja Pizza Girl is a serious game about self-esteem, bullying and resilience – and pizza delivering ninjas!

Its deeply-woven story follows Gemma, a sixteen-year-old girl working as a pizza delivery ninja for her father’s independent Pizzeria. In a world where slums teeter on top of skyscrapers, where powerful mega-corporations exploit the poor and where quality pizza is hard to come by, Gemma must fight to keep her ideals, her family and their business intact in face of the most merciless enemies known to any teenage girl – other teenagers.Read More

Did An Accidental Slip up Out Skate 4 For PS4 & Xbox One?

Posted on February 15, 2016 by Rae Michelle Richards

According to a now delisted item on Australian retailer JB Hi-Fi Electronic Arts could be poised to release the first current generation entry in their long-running Skate franchise – Skate 4- as soon as this August.

Alongside the supposed release date of August 23^rd 2016 the website entry also featured cover-art for the game that reveals that copies of Skate 4 will also include a downloadable copy of the Xbox 360 title Skate 3 bundled with the Xbox One version.

The Skate franchise has been going strong for 9 years now, with the first entry debuting on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 back in 2007. Skate titles are known for their unique control scheme which uses the twin sticks on the Xbox / PlayStation controller to represent the borders’ foot movements, providing an additional degree of control not found in competing titles like Tony Hawk’s Pro-Skater.

Do you think that EA will surprise the world with a Skate 4 reveal at GDC or E3 this year? After the failure that was Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 I’m sure skateboarding fanatics can give another publisher a go at recreating the thrill of riding on a board.

AMD Reveals Which CPUs They Recommend For Use With Oculus Rift

Posted on February 15, 2016 by Rae Michelle Richards

Owners of AMD hardware have been kept in the dark in terms of detailed specs for the upcoming Oculus Rift headset. Officially Oculus recommends that potential owners have a “Intel i5-4590 equivalent or greater” but that does very little except give the reader the exact processor that they might need if they were gaming on an intel based rig.

Thankfully AMD has stepped in with their own list of recommended processors for a smooth virtual reality experience. In general AMD is recommending that VR pioneers have at least a quad-core CPU running at 3.9GHZ minimum that is based upon the 2012 Piledriver architecture which continues to power the company’s existing high end desktop offerings.

Here’s the full list of recommended VR Ready processors according to Advanced Micro Devices:

FX-9590 (8 Core @ 4.7GHZ)
FX-9370 (8 Core @ 4.4 GHZ)
FX-8370 (8 Core @ 4.0 GHZ)
FX-8350 (8 Core @ 4.0GHZ)
FX-6350 (6 Core @ 3.9GHZ)
A10-7890 APU (4 Core @ 4.1 GHZ)
A10-7870 APU (4 Core @ 3.9 GHZ)
Athlon X4 880 (4 Core @ 4.0 GHZ)
Athlon X4 870 (4 Core @ 3.9GHZ)

Does your CPU meet the minimum recommended specs for VR as outlined by AMD? Thankfully Oculus’ official minimum specs do recommend an AMD graphics card – a Radeon 290 or greater.
