Jett Rocket II development done; Shin’en says it was “one of the most fun games we ever made”
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
Shin’en has confirmed to Nintendo Everything that development on Jett Rocket II: The Wrath of Taikai is complete. The team is now involved with final bug fixing.
According to Shin’en CEO Manfred Linzer, Jett Rocket II “is one of the most fun games we ever made.” In order to make it stand out among other eShop games, the studio “pulled every trick” learned on the 3DS.
Nailing down a smooth 60 frames-per-second count in conjunction with 3D was a big goal for the game’s developers. This was “an enormous task to achieve” – even more so when the action switches to free roaming 3D levels. However, creating an action jump’n’run without 60 FPS “simply felt wrong” to the team.
Jett Rocket II will offer platforming and action elements. In addition, there is a sense of exploration because there is “so much to discover” and “so many secrets to find”. Even after completing the adventure, “a new big challenge is waiting for you.”
Jett Rocket II: The Wrath of Taikai remains on track for release in Q3 2013. If you’re interested in the game, be on the lookout for new media that will be shared sometime within the next few days.

Bike Rider DX out later this summer on the North American, European 3DS eShops
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
Last year, Spicysoft released a new platform action title on the Japanese 3DS eShop known as “Chariso DX”. This was originally a project developed for smartphones in Japan – stemming from the popular “Chariso” series, which has surpassed 20 million downloads in total.
Spicysoft has now confirmed to us that Chariso DX will be making its way to the North American and European 3DS eShops as “Bike Rider DX”.
Here’s a useful overview that the company passed along:
The player travels many stages set in several places around the world, dodging obstacles, collecting coins and trying to reach the goal. There is also a bunch of hidden bonus stages and an endless mode where a random endless stage is created, and the player can test his skills and race for a highscore.
The gameplay in the localized version will not differ from the original, so you should get a pretty good impression of what the game is like – a platform action game with really simple controls but challenging stages, fun to play and easy to understand for basically everyone.
Localization for Bike Rider DX is more or less finished. A release is planned for the summer, and you’ll probably be seeing it “sooner than later”. Spicysoft also promises that the game “won’t be too expensive.”
