Mutant Mudds comes one step closer to European release
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
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.”

Nnooo’s abandoned project, “Blast”
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
Nnooo’s first WiiWare project wasn’t Pop. Prior to this, the studio was considering an idea for a game titled “Blast”. Although it was up and running, Nnooo felt “it was proving too big a game for two people to achieve”.
Blast was shelved, but Nnooo’s Nic Watt told ONM that the studio would be interested in revisiting the project.
According to Watt:
“We were working on a title before Pop called Blast that we had running, but it was proving too big a game for two people to achieve, so we decided to focus on something smaller for the WiiWare launch. We hope to return to Blast sometime in the future.”
Miyamoto: 3D vision not as “extraordinary” as it once was
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
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.”

Miyamoto praises Vita hardware, says it needs games
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
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.”
Rabbids Rumble rated by the OFLC
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
More Rabbids action could be in our future. The Australian Clarification system has rated Rabbids Rumble, which could be a new game starring the odd creatures. Whatever the title turns out to be, some “very mild crude humour” will be included. It was given a “G” rating by the OFLC.
A number of Rabbids games have appeared on Nintendo platforms. The series has shown up on the Wii, DS, and 3DS. The latest entry was a Kinect exclusive called Rabbids: Alive & Kicking.
Ubisoft’s response to the rating was “no comment”, as expected.
