December 18, 2009 – Beverly Hills, CA – EGM Media LLC, publisher of leading independent video game magazine “Electronic Gaming Monthly,” announced today that it has entered into an agreement with Time/Warner Retail Sales & Marketing to handle newsstand marketing and sales for the title when it returns to bookstores, newsstands, and other retailers in March 2010.
“Time Warner Retail is the preeminent player in the single-copy field so it should be no surprise that we have selected them to represent the print version of the publication,” said Steve Harris, publisher of Electronic Gaming Monthly and president of EGM Media, LLC. “The fact Time/Warner Retail’s relationship with the title goes back nearly twenty years made this an easy decision and one that will immediately benefit our efforts.”
Lack of local multiplayer in Excitebike: World Rally explained
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 1 Comment
This information comes from Monster Games president Richard Garcia and Nintendo’s Hiro Yamada…
“In Vs. Excitebike, you could play local two-player mode with horizontal split-screen. (You must know your games really well given that the game was launched only in Japan as a Famicom Disk System game!)
We wanted to add local multiplayer to this game as well. But as you can see by playing the game, the player can jump so high that they leave the screen for a while. If we split the screen horizontally, the player can jump off the screen for an even longer time whenever they do a big jump. We couldn’t split the screen vertically, since it is important in this game to see down the track to plan your moves. Instead of being fun, split-screen was just stressful. We finally decided that it would be best if multiplayer gaming was restricted to Wi-Fi mode.”
