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.
