XSEED is on track for a spring release… so it should be out by June 19!


European 3DS owners are still waiting for one of the best eShop games, Mutant Mudds. The good news is that it could hit the digital store in the very near future.

Renegade Kid has sent material to PEGI/USK so that the game can receive a rating. Once the process is finished, Mutant Mudds will be submitted to Nintendo of Europe for approval. Company co-founder Jools Watsham speculates that the title could arrive in a month or so if all goes well.

He wrote on Twitter:

“Wow, that a process. Materials have FINALLY been sent off to PEGI and USK. Should hear back from them in about 10-ish days… … and THEN we get to submit to Nintendo of Europe for approval. Weeee! Mutant Mudds Europe, that is … It could take 10 days for PEGI/USK. And then take another 10 days for Nintendo to approve. Then released a week or 2 after that.”

When Nintendo unveiled the 3DS, the system’s 3D effect was all that anyone could talk about, including the Big N. It was the selling point for the system – the new, big feature.

More than a year later following the 3DS’ launch, Shigeru Miyamoto doesn’t see 3D vision as being “extraordinary” as it once was since it “is something more commonplace”.

Miyamoto said the following in a new EDGE interview:

“I think when we started off, we were focussing a lot on the 3D stereoscopic display, on using that effect. And I think [for that] both users who [were] playing the software and us creating the software, [it] was a very central point.

“Looking back one year, now we’ve realised that 3D vision is something more commonplace, not extraordinary; we’ve come to a more natural, easier approach to 3D vision.

“We’ve transitioned to use it when it’s appropriate and maybe not use it when it’s not necessary. In that respect, we’ve come to a move natural way of dealing with 3D.”

What does Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto think about Sony’s PlayStation Vita? Miyamoto was asked for this thoughts about the system recently, but only offered a succinct comment.

Nonetheless, Miyamoto did praise the hardware behind the Vita. Although he called it “a very hi-spec machine”, he believes it could use more quality games.

In an interview with EDGE, Miyamoto told the magazine:

“It’s obviously a very hi-spec machine, and you can do lots of things with it. But I don’t really see the combination of software and hardware that really makes a very strong product.”

Miyamoto later drew parallels to the launch of the 3DS, which lacked must-have software at launch:

“When we launched the 3DS hardware we didn’t have Super Mario 3D Land, we didn’t have Mario Kart 7, we didn’t have Kid Icarus: Uprising. We were striving to have all of these ready for the launch, but we weren’t able to deliver them at that time.

“We were kind of hoping that people would, nevertheless, buy into the product, find 3DS hardware promising, but looking back we have to say we realise the key software was missing when we launched the hardware.”
