Level-5 releases special wallpaper, is forced to include the airplane from AeroPorter due to poll results

Though I’m sure they don’t mind in the slightest, game developer/publisher Level-5 was recently forced to publish a special wallpaper with characters from many of their most popular franchises… as well as the airplane and the “porter” from AeroPorter! The 3DS download title apparently held a spot in the popularity poll that they put up to determine which characters would be drawn into the wallpaper, and so many people put down their vote for the non-living, metallic flight-body that Level-5 had to include it! The airplane managed to snag 46,263 votes, ahead of the second-place Inazuma character who pulled in 38,339, and the porter himself (a character with no face or personality, mind you) got ninth, with 17,889.

There’s pretty much nothing in that video except “Eggbsuters is returning on July 13th”, so you need not watch it. I just figured I’d toss it in with this post to flesh it out.
Six days!

Cho-Aniki. Yup.
Episode 48 sees the gang discussing all of their gaming for the week, including some talk about the art of game design relating to Fallout 3, the phallic eroticism of Cho-Aniki, and the grating sounds of Luke’s voice from Professor Layton. Listener questions and news make their return, and our wrapping-up discussion is about genres that we thought were under-represented last generation.

Posted on 10 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in Features | 0 comments
I know what my answer would be…
This is a survey that requires no signing up, accounts, clicking through ads, or anything. Just answer a required question, answer a non-required question (if you want) and make your voice heard in yet another NintendoEverything reader survey poll thing! Results will be read in the form of our top ten list on the next podcast, and if you opted to answer the written question your answer could be read on the show! So don’t say anything ridiculous.
Thanks very much. As stated above the topic for you guys this week is “Were any game genres underserved last generation?”.
Official ‘Earthworm Jim’ Facebook page abruptly talks about what a fourth game in the series might be called
Posted on 10 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in General Gaming, General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
The Earthworm Jim Facebook page is managed primarily by Doug TenNapel (creator), with some extra comments by MIke Dietz and Ed Schofield, all of whom worked on the series in some official capacity. Whether this means anything is hard to say… he could have just been thinking about the 3D entry in the series and pondering how fans don’t really think too highly of it!

Posted on 10 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in General Gaming, General Nintendo, News, Podcast Stories, Wii | 1 Comment

Super FX creator says the North American SNES almost shipped with it built in

Take a break. Listen to some of the SNES’ best tunes, courtesy of the Super FX chip.
– Super FX developer Jez San
The Super FX chip allowed for games like Star Fox and Yoshi’s Island to be conceived and executed, and having it installed inside cartridges– while it may have been more expensive for developers– certainly kept the SNES cost down far enough where Nintendo could manage to sell as many units as they did and further fund the development of such interesting gaming experiences! It definitely would have been cool to see what the SNES would have looked like if every game was able to use the chip though…
“The Atlus brand and consumer business will continue” amidst parent company bankruptcy, according to official statements
Posted on 10 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in 3DS, DS, General Gaming, General Nintendo, News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
– Official Statement from Atlus
As a big fan of Atlus’ work myself, this is great news. What will happen to the parent company (and where Atlus may end up after their rough patch) is still up in the air, but with any luck things will maintain their current scheduling at the developer themselves.
Sonic Lost World general producer says some bits are similar to Mario Galaxy

– Sonic series General Producer Takashi Iizuka
I must be the only one that didn’t instantly think of Super Mario Galaxy when I saw the trailer for Lost World… The connection is clear to me, but I didn’t think it was so obvious that it seemed as though the team blatantly ripped off the style. And it sure plays a heck of a lot differently.
