Headline RePLAY – 12.22.11

Today on Headline RePLAY: conflicting accounts about The Last Guardian’s fate, players are unable to log into Star Wars: The Old Republic and an entire channel on the Wii is dedicated to fixing Zelda: The Skyward Sword.


In a classic case of “he said, she said,” GameStop customers that reserved The Last Guardian received automated calls today by the retail chain stating that the game was cancelled.

Sony’s director of corporate communications, Patrick Seybold, denies the cancellation: “This is not true,” he told Kotaku.  

Additionally, Sony Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida also denies the cancellation reports via his Twitter account.

Star Wars: The Old Republic can’t seem to handle the high-volume of players entering the galaxy before or after launch— so much that even the website had to institute a queue for players to access their accounts.

The problem is exacerbated considering that the “grace period” (a 2-day period for Early Access players to enter their game’s registration code and submit billing information in order to continue playing) ended and now a lot of players cannot access the game at all because player accounts are tied onto the site.

BioWare acknowledges the problem and assures players that this was intentional on their part: “Due to the high volume of new game codes being redeemed on SWTOR.com, some users may currently be seeing a waiting page. We are intentionally controlling the flow of traffic and letting as many people through as possible.”

Remember how last week Nintendo of Japan offered solutions to Skyward Sword players that encountered the game-breaking glitch that made it impossible to progress? The solutions were similar to Metroid: Other M’s resolutions, like the tedious process of shipping the Wii or SD card to Nintendo.

Today, Nintendo has presented an alternative: an entire channel dedicated to patching the game. All players have to do is download the channel from the Wii Channel section of the Wii Shopping Channel and follow the instructions on the screen.
