SEGA discusses its “3D Reproduction Project”, says future remakes/releases depend on the fans
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, General Nintendo, News | 4 Comments
SEGA brought over a whole bunch of classic games, redone with stereoscopic 3D, as part of its “3D Reproduction Project” for the eShop. We’re still waiting for these titles overseas, but SEGA made releases such as 3D Space Harrier and 3D Sonic the Hedgehog.
Sega’s third CS Research and Development producer, Yosuke Okunari, spoke about the 3D Reproduction Project in this week’s Famitsu. He told the magazine:
“For the Virtual Console, the concept was to recreate the games exactly the way they were originally made. Sega Ages Online presented new rules and functions, which brought a fresh new take on the way they’re played. However, the ‘3D Reproduction Project’ required further measures. That’s where we added a remake version exclusive ‘HAYA OH’ boss to 3D Space Harrier.”
According to Okunari, future remakes/re-releases will depend on the fans.
“We wanted to go after a stereoscopic vision that was unimaginable. For Sonic from the Sega Genesis, not only did we make it into 3D, but we also added the Spin Dash, which I believe made it easier to play. For 3D Galaxy Force II, the 3D added more depth to the screen, making it less common to get lost on the route. The things staff members wanted to express in the past but couldn’t, are now possible with today’s technology. And we’d like to share that joy. For our next lineup, it will depend on all of your voices, so please continue to support us.”

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 2 Comments
Jett Rocket II: The Wrath of Taikai takes up just a tiny amount of space on an SD card. Developer Shin’en has confirmed via Twitter that the game clocks in at only 70MB.
The tweet reads:
Don't forget to make space for around 70MB on your 3DS for "Jett Rocket 2: The Wrath of Taikai"!

For a game that’s as technically-impressive as Jett Rocket II, that’s incredibly small!

Defender’s Quest very likely for Wii U and 3DS, creator looking into cross-buy support
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Defender’s Quest is looking very likely for both 3DS and Wii U. A 3DS version is all but confirmed, and creator Lars Doucet also confirmed on Twitter that has a Wii U dev kit.
@GamefaMahdi Very good chance! Just not ready to publicly commit ourselves to it 100%. I have a WiiU Dev kit next to me right now.
— Lars Doucet (@larsiusprime) October 23, 2013
Doucet also said he’s looking into the possibility of cross-buy support between Wii U and 3DS:
@GamefaMahdi I'm also trying to reach @Dan_Adelman and see if Nintendo supports WiiU / 3DS cross-buy.
— Lars Doucet (@larsiusprime) October 23, 2013
As far as cross-buy between Wii U and PC goes, the chances of that happening aren’t so high. It’s not something that should be expected, understandably.
@GamefaMahdi Will have to get back to you on that, but *probably* not… console stuff is tricky.

Thanks to mahdi g for the tip.
