Other than this rating from the German classification board, which says the game is “Jump ‘n Run,” we’ll have to wait for more details. I’d be happy if this plays more like the old Rayman games, though.

Thanks to Robert for the news tip!

High Voltage hopes to “wow” fans with future content released for The Grinder, assets and announcements coming soon

Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 32 Comments

This information comes from a High Voltage Software Ning account, who is a developer working on The Grinder…

“Lot of new stuff coming soon guys. New announcements, videos, screens, the whole 9 yards. Just hang tight, were busy making sure that anything you see will ‘wow’ your asses off!”

It’s been quite awhile since we last heard about The Grinder. In fact, the last time the team released a video was right around E3. I’m sure that the game has gone through a good amount of polish since then.

Thanks to Paul R for the news tip!

Nintendo calls Nikkei DSi article “speculative”

Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 1 Comment

“Our company isn’t doing any interviews [about this]. We think it’s a speculative article.” – Nintendo statement

This is pretty much a typical Nintendo statement. I don’t see why Nikkei would have any reason to publish a fake article about a new DSi anyway. Still, we’ll see what happens over the next few days/weeks.
