Dragon Book Fantasy I’s 3DS ESRB rating explained, is a possibility for the eShop
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
A 3DS rating of Dragon Book Fantasy I popped up on the ESRB about a week ago, which seemed to hint that the digital game would be coming to the eShop. This isn’t necessarily so, according to the game’s developer.
Muteki Corporation explained to IGN that the 3DS (and Xbox 360) was included due to an earlier way in which the ESRB handled downloadable ratings.
But while Dragon Book Fantasy I isn’t in development for the 3DS, there’s “a possibility” that the game could eventually make its way to the handheld system.
We’ve had the game rated for a number of platforms based on [an] earlier system of ESRB ratings. It used to be even downloadable games had to pay for ratings, so when we did our initial submission we just checked every box we thought we may want to release on
A release on 3DS is a possibility in the future (though not verified!) – we’ve talked about it but it’s not something actively in development.

Former Nintendo designer discusses Famicom coloring and naming
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
The Famicom possessed an interesting color scheme. These days, we typically don’t see hardware that is covered in red, gold, and white colors.
Masayuki Uemura, a former Nintendo hardware designer, cleared up some misconceptions as to why the color scheme was chosen while speaking with Weekly Playboy:
“Originally, the inexpensive steel body we planned to use was too fragile, so we changed it to a highly durable plastic.”

If you want to play along and discuss during the week, check out our forum thread here. If you missed out on the first week but you still want to participate, you’re looking at a total of about 11 hours of game-time this week to catch up!
Deadline for email submissions this week: May 4th
Since last week we obtained the fourth and fifth Stars (out of seven!) in the game, this week we’re just going to gather up the last of the seven stars! Don’t beat the final boss yet though– we’ll do that last section and a post-mortem on the game next week!
Also, please do not send us emails discussing portions of the game beyond where the book club is. We want to avoid spoilers and we don’t want to feel unable to answer your questions/respond to your comments, so if you’ve gotten ahead of everyone (which is fine!) do your best to only talk about the parts that we’ve all agreed upon. :]

Jett Rocket II moved to Q3 as Shin’en uses extra time to add “real” 3D levels
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
Jett Rocket II: The Wrath of Taikai was originally scheduled for Q1 2013. But lately, we’ve heard rumblings that the 3DS eShop game has been pushed back to Q3. This is indeed the case, Shin’en has confirmed to us.
What we have seen from Jett Rocket II thus far mostly encompasses 2.5D gameplay as well as levels that are slightly reminiscent of Super Mario 3D Land. But thanks to the extra time provided by Jett Rocket II’s delay, Shin’en will now be able to add in “real” 3D levels that are just like the ones featured in the original Jett Rocket for WiiWare.
Shin’en’s Manfred Linzner told us that it “was quite a challenge to make that in 60fps”, but the folks at the studio “like a good challenge.” Linzner believes that Jett Rocket II “is the only game that has free roaming 3D levels in 60fps/stereo on 3DS.”
Shin’en provided Nintendo Everything with a first look at one of Jett Rocket II’s true 3D levels – you can find the image above.
