Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 1 Comment

Last year, winterworks brought Bloo Kid 2 to 3DS. That might have seemed a bit strange to some given how the original game never came out on Nintendo platforms. However, this will be changing at some point in the future.

On Twitter, winterworks announced that we’ll be seeing the first Blood Kid game on the 3DS eShop. There’s no word on a release date yet, but it will have updated visuals.

winterworks’ tweet is as follows:

We'll be doing Bloo Kid 1 for #3DS, with updated gfx. May come to other platforms as well. #indiedev #gamersunite pic.twitter.com/R5pKUa2qV9

New Nintendo patent: object detection device / projector / controller

Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 15 Comments

Nintendo filed a Japanese patent a couple of years ago under the name “Information processing system, information processing program, information processing method and imaging device”. However, it was only just published yesterday. Essentially, it involves a device that features object detection using cameras and mirrors, and could theoretically be used as a controller, a projector, and more.

The patent is admittedly a bit convoluted and may make more sense to those who are familiar with the technical side of things. Still, you can find more information here if you’re interested.
