Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News | 2 Comments
– Price will be 1.000 or 1.500, Nintendo decides.
– First, it was a wax environment, referring to Icarian’s wings. Then they got to the Chirico style, great for story and WW limitations.
– Fragility is the main idea to tell. It’s in Nyx, and she needs player’s help.
– 20K downloads will be a fine number to cover game’s development costs.
– Focus on finishing Icarian. They’re open to sequels or bigger Icarian games with old ideas.
– First video in below link is Steven Gutheinz’s music: 3 samples
– Second video in link is In-game footage, you may already have this.
– “Family” aids: aside from the 4 guys at Over the Top games, people around them tried the game. Nyx voice is from one of the member’s girlfriend. Animations refined by another friend. Free physics system.
– One day gameplay: as the night nears, the end approaches.
– They hope Nintendo helps them to get to the Japanese market, same as with World of Goo. They already have the game localized into 6 languages for Eur/US markets.

Nintendo reconfirms exclusive DSi retail games, discusses DSi Enhanced Game Cards
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 2 Comments
Nintendo’s Matato Kuwahara took the stage at GDC 2009 today and revealed a few more details about how DSi titles will be distributed. As has been known for quite some time, companies will be able to release titles through DSiWare. Retail-wise, two options will be available. Developers can decide to use DSi Enhanced Game Cards which will allow DSi-specific functions to be included. These cards will work on the regular DS system, but will take advantage of the DSi features when played on a DSi. Lastly, DSi Game Cards can be used for exclusive DSi games. This means that these cards will work only on a DSi. For now, DSi Enhanced Game Cards and DSi Game Cards are still under development, but both will be available soon.
