Reggie: Nintendo loves indies
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, General Nintendo, News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
Indies have become a prominent force in the gaming industry, especially over the past few months. On Nintendo’s end, the company is recognizing smaller developers more than ever on Wii U and 3DS.
Speaking with IGN, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime discussed how working with indies is a big priority for Nintendo:
“The independent developer, especially those developers who have experience, who’ve shown real capabilities, we love those independent developers. And what we’re doing is creating even more of an infrastructure for a brand-new independent developer, someone who’s never created content before, to be effective on our platform. So it’s an area that we’re spending a lot more time and a lot more energy to create the infrastructure to help these developers publish their content and be effective. It’s something that we have had to learn how to do. Because our systems aren’t straightforward for a developer who hasn’t had a lot of experience.”

Big John Games bringing “Ohno Odyssey” to the 3DS eShop
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
Big John Games, developer of the 3DS eShop releases Coaster Creator 3D, Big Bass Arcade No Limit, and Smash Bowling 3D, is working on another title for Nintendo’s digital store. The studio has shared details with us regarding its latest project, “Ohno Odyssey”.
Ohno Odyssey is a new action-puzzle game inspired by The Incredible Machine. Players guide round alien characters through a number of 2D levels made up of rails. They’ll need to place objects including mud, crates, magnets and fans to keep the character rolling in the right direction and ultimately reach the goal. It won’t be easy, as players will also have to jump over obstacles as well as other power-up enhanced interactivity.
The story is simple enough. The Ohnos aliens race are relaxing in space when, one day, an accident occurs. All of the aliens quickly leave except for the head engineer.
The aliens eventually wind up on Earth, but send distress beacons after realizing they can’t get home. In addition to fixing a ship, the engineer will need to work his way through mountain levels, jungle, and cities to rescue his friends.
And here’s a little tidbit for you: “Oh no” is a common phrase the aliens often use due to their clumsiness.
Players will be able to tackle around 35 different levels in Ohno Odyssey. The game’s story mode is where players will be tasked with collecting all of the Ohnos.
Ohno Odyssey will be out this fall. You can find some storyboard art above.
