Super Smash Bros. for 3DS screenshots (3/18/14) – full overview of Super Mario 3D Land stage
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Screenshots | 0 comments
Along with today’s screenshots, Sakurai passed along the following information on Miiverse:
Here’s some info on the Nintendo 3DS stage called Super Mario 3D Land! First, it advances by side-scrolling…
Then you continue into the valley–it’s in 3D Land, after all. The protruding stone blocks change the angles of the platforms.
After that, back to side-scrolling. Now it gets you moving–you’ll have to trot downhill here.
And finally, you get back on rails to go farther into the stage. It takes roughly two minutes to complete a lap, and at the end you go into a giant pipe that takes you back to the beginning. …I know this sequence goes above and beyond a traditional Pic of the Day, so consider this a little something extra on the side from me.

New Oddworld entry could happen if New ‘n’ Tasty sells 500K, game will cost $30
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 3 Comments
Care to see a remake of Oddworld: Abe’s Exoddus? Then buy the upcoming remake of Abe’s Odyssey, otherwise known as Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty.
Lorne Lanning confirmed to Eurogamer at GDC today that selling 250,000 copies of New ‘n’ Tasty will secure funding for an Abe’s Exoddus remake. And at 500,000 copies, a brand new Oddworld game will be possible.
He said:
“I don’t think it’s anything less than a $5 million title. So to Kickstart it I think would be a little deceptive and a risk. But if we sell half a million copies [of New ‘n’ Tasty], that’s not going to be a problem.”
“If I’m doing a new Oddworld game, I’m not going to do it for $2 million. I might do it for five or six. People keep asking me, ‘Why don’t you Kickstart Oddworld? You could get at least $1 or $2 million.’ And I’m like ‘What would I do with a couple million on Kickstarter? On a new Oddworld title?’ Not much. I could redo Exoddus for a couple million. I could do that. But a new title, which means new characters doing new things and controls that are great – that’s where the real time and expenses come from.”
“If you already have the game and you’re just doing a conversion, it’s easier. From scratch, I don’t think we could do an Oddworld title for a couple million dollars.”
