Grasshopper teases 3DS development

This information comes from Grasshopper Manufacture’s Facebook page…
“No, no information on a sequel to Contact now. We’re not working on any games for Nintendo’s older portable systems. ;-)… 3DS? What’s that? ;p”
Obviously, nothing was said explicitly. But it does seem as though they’re hinting at 3DS development! It wouldn’t be too surprising, as Suda51, the company’s CEO, has expressed interest in the platform.
THQ: First round of uDraw sales promising, more software until at least 2012

This information comes from Wayne Cline, director of product development for THQ’s Kids, Family and Casual division…
“Our early reports are looking very promising, and I know we’re doing very well at Walmart, Best Buy and Toys R Us — outlets like that. And we’re getting really good first-look feedback from a lot of things like parenting magazines and such. It’s looking very positive. We got a SKU plan going on through 2012 calendar. Our next batch of software we’ll be releasing in 2011. We haven’t announced anything yet, but rest assured we don’t intend this to be a one-holiday, one-trick pony.”
I honestly didn’t know if uDraw would perform well sales-wise. I wasn’t sure if consumers would embrace the idea, even though it is a unique peripheral. It’ll be interesting to see how the sales are over the long haul, but at least fans can look forward to more software next year, as well as 2010.

Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective – Playable flash demo
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments
There is a DS game coming up that I am personally looking forward to very much, because it is developed by the same people who made the fantastic Phoenix Wright series of games. That DS game is Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective, and now, the developer has released a flash demo of the game for people to try out before it releases early next year.
I highly recommend trying it out, because it’s certain to be a very charming game!

Retro knew they had to make Donkey Kong Country Returns difficult

“It’s a game with broad appeal that all sorts of people can play, so I thought we needed to keep that approachability. At the same time, I thought it’s important the game be a little difficult.” – Retro’s Kynan Pearson (senior designer)
“I thought it was extremely important that the game be challenging. When this project began, I played the Super NES version again and was a little irked at how hard it was. I only remembered that it was fun! I thought it’s really important to make the game tough, but in a good way. I wanted to make a game that was not simply difficult, but possessed a kind of difficulty that made players want to try it again. I thought it was important that, rather than make players angry, the game makes players feel that even if they fail, they will be able to jump better next time.” – Retro’s Mike Wikan (senior designer)
