Visitors to the Nintendo stand will not only be able to get their hands on an exciting range of upcoming game titles – including The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Metroid: Other M, Donkey Kong CountryTM Returns, Wii Party and many others – but popular TV celebrity Tim Feldner will be on hand to provide fun and excitement.
The 3rd Birthday director impressed with Kingdom Hearts Re:coded
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 2 Comments
This information comes from The 3rd Birthday Director Hajime Tabata…
“KH Re:Coded is quite an amazing achievement. It’s developing into a very enjoyable game. The graphics and action are the highest level of DS. The gameplay is full of ideas and service. It’s a game that will give you the pure feeling of ‘Ah, this is fun.’ It fully realizes its concept. This is just the impression of someone watching the development from nearby, but I believe it’s a game that you can really look forward to.”
One of the things I find interesting about Re:coded is how it mixes three different games together. It features Birth by Sleep’s battle system, 358/2 Days’ growth system, and Coded’s fundamentals/story. That sounds like a fun game to me!
