Project Happiness now known as Hometown Story, new trailer and details
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Right around last year’s E3, Natsume and Rising Star Games announced “Project Happiness”. It’s a game from TOYBOX – led by Yasuhiro Wada, the creator of Harvest Moon.
As a reminder, Atsuko Nishida is providing character designs. Nobuo Uematsu is handling Hometown Story’s music.
A new trailer for the game finally surfaced today, along with a new name: “Hometown Story”. Development is currently 50-60% complete.
In Hometown Story, players run a shop, although increasing sales and shop expansion aren’t the game’s central elements. Users will instead be encouraged to enjoy the story and encounters by earning more customers, which also ties into the store’s growth. You’ll encounter characters will all sorts of different tales, and Hometown Story’s primary enjoyment results from fulfilling customers’ dreams and resolving their worries.
Hometown Story was previously confirmed for the 3DS at last year’s E3. It should be out later in 2013.
Rumor: Monster Games making new 3DS project
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Rumors | 1 Comment

Prior to Pilotwings Resort, Monster Games never made a game for one of Nintendo’s portables. Now the studio may be sticking with the 3DS for its next project.
One staffer from Nintendo’s QA department lists “Nintendo 3DS Software Testing directly with developers (Monster Games)” on his LinkedIn profile. That seems to suggest that Monster’s next project is indeed for the 3DS.
We’re having a bit of a tough time tracking down the profile for this one, so take this update with a grain of salt for now. Nintendo has yet to unveil Monster Games’ new game in any case.

RARE on Banjo-Kazooie remake for 3DS: “Anything’s possible, even if it’s not very likely”

One fan recently asked RARE on Twitter about the possibility of a Banjo-Kazooie remake – you know, something like Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D. Such a project isn’t likely based on the company’s response, but RARE did say that “anything’s possible”.
@evan_is_nr1 Anything’s possible, even if it’s not very likely 🙂

Even if a Banjo-Kazooie remake probably won’t be happening, is it something you’d like to see?
