Miyamoto’s Project Robot for Wii U could release in a matter of weeks

Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto is working on some unique projects for the Wii U. We heard about a few of them at E3 last year, and they include a new Star Fox as well as titles called Project Robot and Project Guard.

Project Robot showed up around the time of the convention, and then it sort of fell off the map, only mentioned in passing a few times here and there. Now, thanks to more information coming from Nintendo’s Earnings Release document for the fiscal year ending March 31 2015, we might have a release window.

Even stranger, the release window expires in a matter of weeks. In the” Launch Schedule of Primary Nintendo Products by Region” section of the release, Nintendo lists Project Robot with its temporary title. For its launch date in both the United States and Europe, the line reads “1st Half 2015.”

This section of the release doesn’t read in fiscal years, it reads in calendar years. That puts Project Robot in a narrow release window between now and towards the end of June.

Here’s how Nintendo described Project Robot last year:

This game lets players use the Wii U GamePad controller’s touch screen to build a giant robot. A variety of parts are available to choose from, and you can adjust the size of each part. Once the robot is complete, the GamePad screen will show you the cockpit view, and you’ll battle against giant enemy robots. Players can move the robot’s upper body using the GamePad controller’s gyro sensor, and use the left and right control sticks to move its arms. The game is scheduled for 2015.

My bet? Nintendo talks about the game during its E3 presentation, and then it ends with their now standard “this game will be available on the Wii U’s eShop as soon as the Direct is over.”

How’s that for little fanfare?

Exec behind “Next Big Thing” campaign has departed Samsung

Samsung Mobile CMO, Todd Pendleton, has reportedly departed the company, according to CNET . Pendleton is credited with creating Samsung’s famous “Next Big Thing” campaign, which took aim at the company’s rivals while highlighting the benefits of its own mobile lineup. The ads were smart, terse, and ultimately helped raise the awareness of Samsung’s brand as a major smartphone maker here in the U.S. It’s unclear why Pendleton left, but it’s being reported that Samsung executives became dissatisfied with the campaign’s recent success, even going so far as auditing the mobile division’s Dallas headquarters. It seems you can only use the Next Big Thing tagline so many times; the commercials have taken a decidedly different turn over the past few months, focusing on design, functionality and features rather than bashing Samsung competitors. The timing, I suppose, seems appropriate given that Samsung has just unveiled two new flagships, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. Samsung is clearly

You can now control PowerPoint for iPhone with your Apple Watch

Want to master the CMO role? Join us for GrowthBeat Summit on June 1-2 in Boston , where we'll discuss how to merge creativity with technology to drive growth. Space is limited and we're limiting attendance to CMOs and top marketing execs. Request your personal invitation here ! Microsoft today updated its PowerPoint for iOS app with a rather bizarre update: remote Apple Watch support. You can download the new version now directly from Apple’s App Store . We say this addition is “bizarre” because, well, why would anyone want to control PowerPoint on their iPhone from their Apple Watch? This PowerPoint app also works on the iPad , and we would argue it makes more sense to control a presentation on your tablet from your wrist than one that is on your smartphone. Here is the changelog so you can try to make sense of it yourself: PowerPoint Remote for Apple Watch: control your slide show on iPhone with a beautifully simple app. Start your slide show and easily navigate to

Pirate Bay co-founder won’t be playing NES in his jail cell

Fredrik Neij, a co-founder of The Pirate Bay, the massive torrent site, was arrested last year for copyright infringement. That’s okay, though. He knew how he was going to spend his free time. Really, it’s not too different from what most gamers might as for: Nintendo. All day, every day. Unfortunately for Neij, prison authorities had some issues with the request. It’s not that video games are against the rules in Swedish prisons, though. That’s actually not too uncommon. To get a piece of hardware into the prison, though, it needs to be opened up so that it can be checked for contraband items (let’s just assume Nintendo-themed shivs) hidden inside. With a DVD player or something like that, it’s not too tough, but the NES uses special security screws to prevent people from tampering with the system or getting at the hardware for piracy purposes. For this reason, the Swedish authorities chose to deny his request. Their explanation is that getting into the console without destroying i
