No battle mode for Shantae: Risky’s Revenge, game coming soon
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 1 Comment
“As it is, Shantae: Risky’s Revenge is packed to the point where there isn’t any space for the battle mode to be added, unfortunately…Shantae will be available soon” – WayForward Twitter
When the Shantae title for GBA was announced, the title was going to have a four player battle mode. As we know now, however, the it never saw the light of day. But I suppose DSiWare’s limits are just to small to cram in the unreleased multiplayer into Risky’s Revenge.

The world’s greatest detective, Sherlock Holmes, stars in his first original game on Nintendo DS: Sherlock Holmes and the Mystery of Osborne House. Below you can download the very first screenshots of this game of puzzles and investigation being developed by Frogwares and published by Focus Home Interactive.
In this brand new grand adventure, custom-designed for Nintendo’s handheld system, you play as the famous detective Sherlock Holmes and you will have to shed light on curious events. When Queen Victoria’s genealogical records are stolen, the Royal Family decides to put you in charge of the case and asks you to solve this strange mystery.
Capcom working on new downloadable title, pleased with Dark Void Zero sales
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
“We have something we’re in the process of lighting up right now that I can’t talk about but I’m super excited about. I don’t want to be too nebulous here, but fans of a certain franchise will be very happy.”
“And [Dark Void Zero is] selling, just for the record, very, very well. We’re actually really pleased. In some ways, it’s actually exceeding my expectations as to how it did, so we’ll actually be looking at some other opportunities. I’m not saying necessarily 8-bit focused, not even necessarily DSiWare-focused, but there’s some gained from learning that we take from Dark Void Zero and from Other Ocean in particular that turned out great.”
Mr. Svensson would not say anything about the mysterious downloadable title. The game may (or may not) be for WiiWare/DSiWare, but we’ll just have to wait and see.
Monster Hunter Tri getting one of the biggest marketing pushes for a third-party Wii game
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 1 Comment
“…I mean, we’re a very big country. Traveling to see friends just to play a game head-to-head, where both people have to have their own hardware, is not something I think that has lent itself to broad appeal. The fact that Tri will have both split-screen and online play, I think will allow for some interesting dynamics in terms of community generation that we previously haven’t been.
The other part of this is a massive marketing push, the likes of which I’m not sure anyone has seen on a Wii title from a third party, that we’ll be seeing across the West when it ships. So, big marketing push. Online play.
The other part of this is Monster Hunter, as a series, is a hard series to learn. It is unforgiving and very, very complex to learn. Very complex systems. Tri is a little bit easier to get into. There’s a much gentler learning curve in Tri than there’s ever been in any of the other Monster Hunters. That’s not to say it’s dumbed down, but it’s much more accessible.” – Christian Svensson, VP of Strategic Planning & Business Development at Capcom U.S.
I’m really glad to see that Monster Hunter 3 will be heavily advertised. I’m also happy that Nintendo is starting to take more of a helpful role with third-parties. Hopefully Monster Hunter 3’s marketing will make the game a huge hit for Capcom. We know that the game is good, now we just need it to sell!
