A very small tease for Retro Studios’ next project
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 8 Comments
“I think you’ll be very excited when you find out what we’re working on.” – Retro Studios president Michael Kelbaugh
…And that quote alone is enough to get me hyped. According to IGN, Retro Studios began to work on their new project shortly after Corruption came out. That must mean that the new title has been in development somewhere around a year and a half. Hopefully we’ll hear about what they’re working on soon!
Metroid Prime producer would make Prime 2’s multiplayer mode Wi-Fi
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
“Even if I was given the funding and approval to make some changes, I don’t think there are many things I want to improve on those existing games. But if I had to pick one I would probably work on Metroid Prime 2’s multiplayer. I would like to improve that so that we could make it Wi-Fi compatible.” – Kensuke Tanabe, producer for all three Prime games
Unfortunately, the multiplayer mode in Metroid Prime 2 was never received well. Wi-Fi connectivity could be an interesting inclusion, though the developers would have to go back and correct a number of issues that plague the actual multiplayer aspect in order to make it the best it could be.

Ever wanted to get inside Bowser’s character? Now’s your chance (Europe)
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments
27 August 2009 – Mario and Luigi reunite for a role-playing adventure like nothing you’ve seen before. In Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story, coming to Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi across Europe on 9 October 2009, everyone’s favourite two brothers are not just exploring the pipes of a new world so much as the pipes of their biggest foe: Bowser himself!
That’s right – for the first time, you won’t just be dealing with Bowser’s fiery breath, you’ll be exploring his fiery innards! At the start of the game, Bowser inhales Mario and Luigi, which leads to the duo exploring organic environments inside the grumpy monster, such as his stomach, arms and legs. In another exciting first, you can control either Bowser on the top screen or Mario and Luigi on the Touch Screen, but can always switch between them.
