Shin’en: If devs have issues making great looking Wii U games, it’s not because of the hardware
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 4 Comments
Shin’en has already put out one visually-impressive game on Wii U, Nano Assault Neo. The studio always has a knack of producing titles with high-quality graphics on Nintendo hardware even though some may claim that the Big N’s platforms are underpowered.
Wii U is Nintendo’s latest system to have been blasted by some as lacking in the specs department. But according to Shin’en’s Manfred Linzner, those who have trouble making “great looking” titles on the console only have themselves to blame – “it’s not a problem of the hardware,” he believes.

Arc System Works is debuting its new 3DS eShop game, Swords & Darkness, at the Tokyo Game Show. The action RPG involves knights attempting to save the kingdom of Athelstern.
Swords & Darkness features 2D side-scrolling gameplay. You’ll be able to perform a directional block with your shield, and extra chain damage can be dished out to enemies by moving above downed foes and performing downward slashes. As far as the RPG elements go, players can level up, swap out equipment and magic, and learn special moves.

It wasn’t mentioned in yesterday’s Nintendo Download report, but Cut the Rope is now available on the 3DS eShop. The game can be purchased for $9.99. Seems rather pricey given how much it costs on iOS, but the price may be worth it for some!

Shigeru Miyamoto sounded off on a number of topics in the latest issue of Official Nintendo Magazine, including one of Nintendo’s most important developers: Retro Studios.
Miyamoto first spoke generally about the company, noting that the team is “very capable” and has the ability to “design a lot of different types of games”. He now feels that Retro “has really come to a point at which it’s possible for it to have multiple lines running at the same time and having different projects in development.”
Miyamoto’s comments in full, as transcribed by Nintendo Insider:

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment
Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call doesn’t just allow for touchscreen-based controls. Players will have a second option at their disposal: physical controls.
All of Curtain Call’s menus and game modes are playable with buttons. When going through a song in Battle Music Stages and Event Music Stages, you’ll use the A or B buttons. In Field Music Stages, the Circle Pad must be moved slightly up and down to match what’s appearing on screen. The d-pad is required when directional cues appear.
