You may not be aware of the fact that Shin’en has created games exclusively for Nintendo platforms since the company started in 1999. They’ve worked on titles for the Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, DS, and most recently WiiWare. Art of Balance was released on the Wii Shop Channel just a few weeks ago, but the company is continuing to work on other downloadable titles for the service. One such project is Jett Rocket, which looks very promising. Shin’en CEO/Jett Rocket director Manfred Linzner was able to answer a few questions about the game for us, as well as a few other things about Shin’en in a recent interview.

Nintendo Everything: In a few sentences, can you please describe the style of gameplay in Jett Rocket?

Manfred Linzner: “3D Jump’n’Run” desribes JR’s gameplay best. You know, free exploration, no invisible walls, free camera control. You have a great amount of moves and you can interact with many vehicles and machines. One of the coolest things JR can do is to fly to higher grounds with his Jet Pack.

Man, I can’t even begin to tell you guys how much I’ve been waiting to hear/see more of Okamiden. It’s one of my most anticipated titles right now, even though it hasn’t been confirmed for North America yet. The scan isn’t the best quality, but it’s better than nothing!

“[GPS and 3G tech would enable gamers to] play online wherever you are. We would also be able to add location-based features to games.” – Nic Watt, Nnooo Games Creative Director

I wouldn’t be opposed to 3G support, but I’m not so sure about GPS. Overall, though, I would definitely like to see the DS successor be more online-friendly.

GDC/PlayStation Move

– Sony going after the Wii market
– Sony congratulated Nintendo at the beginning of their presentation for getting a new demographic, establishing motion control, etc.
– They they showed it, and it was basically just Wii motion
– The functions in game are identical
– The way Sony was pitching Move on stage was also pretty similar to the Wii
– Seems like a blatant copy, but it should have been expected
– Sony wants to attract the Wii audience when they are ready to move to the HD market
– Sony said that developing for the Move will be very similar to developing for Wii
– There are already some Wii ports, like Brunswick Bowling
– Capcom is huge on ports, Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles and Umbrella Chronicles could possibly head to the PS3
– Sony had copied what works before, like the PS2 controller was like the SNES controller with extra shoulder buttons
