Antipole developer on publishing on Wii U, new content in Antipole DX
Posted on 8 years ago by Zack in 3DS eShop, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
In a recent interview with Real Otaku Gamer, Antipole developer Edward Di Geronimo spoke about why they decided to publish their game on the Wii U, and how much has changed between the original Antipole, a DSiWare title, and the new Antipole DX.
When asked about what kind of additional content can be expected in Antipole DX, Geronimo said this:
There’s not a lot left that’s the same! The code is largely the same, but we’ve replaced all the assets. The graphics are all new, with a pixel art style that feels like a 16-bit era game. Last time around the audio side of the game suffered due to the tight space restrictions of DSiWare. The music and sound effects are all new this time around, and are much higher quality now that we don’t have to worry about space restrictions. Players familiar with the original game will still find plenty of surprises in the DX version. The levels have all been recreated from scratch. I usually tried to stay faithful to the original designs, but there are plenty of cases where I removed or changed sections that I wasn’t happy with. I made sure to add new sections to every level, and also included several all new levels. The DX version is on track to have about 50% more rooms than the original game did.
On publishing Antipole DX on the Wii U, Geronimo had this to say:
Nintendo has been developing high quality platformer games for decades. I think their audience is highly receptive to them. They also have a core audience that’s been gaming on their systems for decades. This crowd grew up playing pixel art platformers. I think the audience is going to be very receptive toward games like Antipole DX.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice costume DLC will be free for the first week
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 9 Comments
Just like in Japan, Capcom will make DLC available for Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice overseas. Part of this encompasses costumes, and fans will have an opportunity to acquire them for free.
Capcom says that there will be “free DLC costumes for the first week”. We’ve seen alternate outfits for Phoenix Wright (Furio Tigre), Athena Cykes (Trés Bien), and Apollo Justice (old high school uniform). Sengoku Basara costumes were also released in Japan a little after launch, but it’s unknown what their status is in the west.
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice launches on Thursday.
Thanks to Anthony for the tip.
