Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Screenshots, Wii | 0 comments
New Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure characters have landed at retailers. The new characters include Hex, Dino-Rang and Wrecking Ball.
Kids can bring the new characters to life in the Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure video game or at the Skylanders Spyro’s Universe web world available at the following URL: http://universe.skylanders.com/.
Hex adds to the female roster and is from the undead elemental class. Her Wall of Bones upgrade keeps her safe when baddies come after her. She’s also really good at evading enemies with her ranged attacks.
Dino-rang, a funny looking green dude from the earth elemental class, hurls boomerangs at his enemies. His boomerangs start out as stone but can quickly turn into volcanic glass when kids upgrade him. His Obsidian Armor is the ultimate in fashion-meets-function.
Finally, Wrecking Ball is a hungry blue party animal from the magic elemental class. He enjoys taking down villains by using his Tongue Whap to do some quick damage. He also has a Power Belch, allowing him to release the ultimate burp attack.
Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure is now available at retailers for Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PC and 3DS.

Clarification on Retro Studio’s involvement with Mario Kart 7
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
There has been some confusion as to how much Retro Studios has contributed to Mario Kart 7. Initial reports stated that the company was simply making one track while other sites claimed that they were essentially involved with all areas of the creation process.
Thanks to producer Hideki Konno, the situation has been cleared up. According to Konno, the studio participated in both course and character design. He told Nintendo Power that “The course designers and artists at both EAD and Retro Studios worked closely together to create what I consider to be very prolific and high-quality work.”
“Knowing that Retro Studios had a strong track record and a long history of creating quality products with Nintendo, I asked them to collaborate with us on aspects like course and character design. The course designers and artists at both EAD and Retro Studios worked closely together to create what I consider to be very prolific and high-quality work.”
