Nintendo Power has pulled back the curtain on Renegade Kid’s first 3DS title. Actually, some of you may remember that the title was originally going to be a 3D platformer for the DS. Now it’s in 2D, and for the 3DS’ eShop. You can check out a bunch of details on the revitalized project below.

– Heading to the eShop
– 2D side-scrolling platformer
– Renegade Kid publishing the game themselves
– This is the first time Renegade Kid is publishing
– Jools Watsham said that he was toying around with a pixel version of Max when he discovered that a 2D version of the game could work
– Game was redesigned when they found out about the 3DS
– Plot is the same
– Max needs to use his water cannon/water-powered jet pack to defeat monsters that come from the ground
– Go to the foreground and background
– Variety of environments
– Levels include “a dark, wintery land; a fiery temple; a space cosmos; and a fluffy cloudville”
– Collect “Water Sprites” in each level
– Water Sprites unlock new levels
– Secrets and power-ups
– Being made for on-the-go gamers
– Game doesn’t require large chunks of play
– DLC through SpotPass
– Late 2011 release

As indicated in our Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D review summary from Nintendo Power, the magazine didn’t sound too happy with Navi. That’s understandable, as the fairy had a reputation of being a bother in the original game due to her constant chants of “hey, listen” and “watch out” (just a few examples). But according to Nintendo Power, she’s now more annoying than ever.

It sounds like the developers added some additional comments for Navi. Now she’ll often tell you that you should take a break from playing or watch a hint movie (a new feature in the 3DS version).

Nintendo Power explained:

“…There are so many clear improvements in the 3DS release that it’s tough to quibble, but I could do without the extra comments from Link’s fairy companion Navi, whose distracting alerts were already borderline annoying in the original game. While she does sometimes give useful hints, more often then not she interrupts the game to repeatedly suggest that you take a break from playing or go watch a hint movie. Turning to her for advice when I’m hopelessly stuck only to get great tips like ‘Keep Moving!’ or ‘The barrier is blocking the door, there must be some way of opening it’ is like pouring salt into a wound.”
