Level-5 released the first game in the Guild02 series of titles on the Japanese 3DS eShop today. Those who purchase the game and have access to the Guild01 releases can gain access to a small bonus of sorts.
When playing Monsters Come Out on Friday, if it detects any usage of Guild01 on the 3DS, players will be rewarded with a digital, mini art book. Pretty neat, aye?
Geisler says he would make another ‘Road Rash’ via Kickstarter, if fans would support it
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Road Rash is an old game. So old, in fact, that its first iteration released back in 1991, and it had 12 subsequent releases including one on the 3DO, one on the SEGA Master System, and one on the Gameboy Advance. Since the GBA version, however, we haven’t seen a single entry in the series despite its success, which prompted one Reddit user to ask game-creator Dan Geisler whether we’d see the franchise return in the future:
– Programmer and co-designer of Road Rash, Dan Geisler
The systems this would come out for and what gameplay mechanics it might use (technology has improved somewhat since the GBA release) remain a secret, but if you see a kickstarter for Road Rash pop up in the near future, don’t be surprised.

Assassin’s Creed III contains a reference teasing what would be the next entry in the series, Black Flag. At one point in the game, Connor mentions that sailing runs in his family and how Edward Kenway – the star of Assassin’s Creed IV and Connor’s grandfather – “sailed with a rough crew”. Take a look at the video above for the pertinent scene.

Jury rules against Nintendo in glasses-free 3D patent lawsuit
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Podcast Stories | 0 comments
Seijiro Tomita took Nintendo to court over a glasses-free 3D patent last month after filing a lawsuit back in 2011. Today, a New York federal jury ruled against the company, which will be forced to pay $30.2 million in damages.
Tomita was granted a patent in 2008 for technology that allows users to see 3D content without special glasses. While Nintendo did meet with Tomita in 2003, the hardware manufacturer argued that he was one of many providers it met with and, as The Verge notes, “avoided key aspects of his patent.” The jury sided with Tomita in the end, resulting in the guilty verdict for Nintendo.
Two Tribes has interest in making a classic Star Fox game

Toki Tori 2 developer Two Tribes has some interest in working on Nintendo’s legendary Star Fox series. Taking things further, studio co-founder Collin van Ginkel told Nintendo Chronicle that the studio “could make a damn fine Star Fox game for Wii U.”
van Ginkel said:
“I think we could make a damn fine Star fox game for Wii U. Yes, a classic Star fox game would be awesome to work on.”
Nintendo has been more open to letting other studios touch their IPs over the past few years… while I don’t think it’s likely that Two Tribes would ever work on a Star Fox project, you never know!
