“This is our big last hurrah for DS games. That’s it for original stuff. We’re now going to move on to consoles in the next year. We might still do DS; I’m not saying we’re not going to [develop DS games]. But our focus is definitely going to be on console.” – 5TH Cell cofounder and creative director Jeremiah Slaczka

Mr. Slaczka also commented on how he would turn Scribblenauts into a franchise…

“[There are] all kinds of cool things we could do with it…We’re definitely keeping it in-house for a while. I really like Scribblenauts and think there’s a lot of potential there, so we’ll see what happens.”

I do hope that 5th Cell will produce more DS titles sometime in the future. The company has provided the handheld with some fantastic games in Drawn to Life, Lock’s Quest, and the soon-to-be-released Scribblenauts.

We already know about a few of the changes in Metroid Prime 1/2 for Metroid Prime Trilogy, but the developers of the series provided a full rundown in a recent developer’s voice interview.

“Just a tremendous upgrade as far as the fluidity of the controls, the HUD’s a little bit different,
the reticule is different as it relates to how you target your enemies now, lock-on’s a little bit different.” – Michael Kelbaugh, Executive Producer/President & CEO

“The biggest impact is that player’s see more of the art and intricate design that we put into the levels.” – Mike Wikan, Senior Designer

“We’ve gone in and surgically repaired textures with higher resolution versions.” – Mike Wikan, Senior Designer

“There were some parts where it was a bit slow…” – Risa Tabata, Assistant Producer

“…And where before you would have to wait for doors to open, the wait time is a lot shorter.” – Kensuke Tanabe, Producer

“We looked at a few of the bosses and made small refinements to those encounters.” – Mike Wikan, Senior Designer
