Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments
Monday 1st September/… Eidos Interactive Ltd., creators of some of the world’s leading videogame properties, has today confirmed that Gauntlet™, a modern reworking of the classic fantasy hack and slash arcade game from Midway, will be released on Nintendo DS this October.
Gauntlet is set in a fantasy-themed universe where evil cloaks the world from the high clouds of Ascendia to the depths of the lava-ridden Abyss. Players can choose from the four classic heroes, Elf, Warrior, Wizard, and Valkyrie, each with their own strengths, weaknesses and special abilities. Throughout the journey, the heroes will slash their way through demonic foes and gain up to four power move abilities to aid them in their battle with evil.
“With Gauntlet we’ve revitalised all of the action and fun of the original 1980s arcade classic, whilst updating the visuals and gameplay for today’s DS gamer,” said Ray Livingston, Brand Manager at Eidos. “With four-player Wi-Fi cooperative mode, one of the most memorable multiplayer gaming experiences of all time is back with a bang.”

“I have not left the gaming industry for good. I love it.” – Perrin Kaplan, former Vice President, Marketing & Corporate Affairs for NOA
Everyone remembers Perrin Kaplan, right? You know, back when Nintendo’s E3 conferences weren’t completely terrible? I’m just kidding, Nintendo! But in all seriousness, Kaplan was great at what she did and I’m personally glad to hear that she may be interested in coming back soon.

The Conduit to support Wii MotionPlus?
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
Take a look at this excerpt from GameSpot’s most recent preview of The Conduit…
“High Voltage does plan to support Wii Motion Plus add-on so we will have to see later how that will work.”
This comes from the build at PAX 2008. I don’t know if GameSpot has their information mixed up, but I would be a bit surprised if the developers wished to incorporate that technology at this point. As far as I know, most developers just recently got their hands on MotionPlus. However, The Conduit does have about six or so months before it launches if the game releases in March 2009.
