Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News | 0 comments

V-Jump reveals a pair of Digimon and new area in Re:Digitize Decode
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Included in the pages of the latest issue of V-Jump is new information about Digimon World Re:Digitize Decode.
First, the magazine has confirmed two new Digimon: DORUmon and RustTyrannomon.
DORUmon will be taking center stage in one of the brand new scenarios introduced in the 3DS version of Digimon World Re:Digitize. Siliconera, a site that translated details from the magazine, says that its evolution line is DORUgamon, DORUgremon, and Alphamon. Digimon fans should know Alphamon as a Holy Knight, who, in this game, can deter anyone’s attack.
RustTyrannomon, a brand new Digimon never seen in the franchise previously, is also mentioned in the magazine. It features a red-brown rust-covered body and acts as the final evolution of the Tyrannomon line. It seems as though RustTyrannomon is an ally of the protagonist based on screenshots show in V-Jump.
Regarding the new area, players will encounter “DoReMiFa Manor” in Decode. The mansion can be upgraded as more Digimon are recruited from the city or field. Some Digimon living in the mansion may ask for favors, and players will receive rewards upon completion.
Zero Escape creator on console interest, sequel, working with 3DS compared to DS
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 0 comments
The Zero Escape series has appeared on handheld systems twice now. The first, 999, launched on the DS. And Zero Escape: Virtue’s Last Reward made its way to the 3DS and PlayStation Vita last year.
Could Zero Escape ever make an appearance on consoles? Creator Kotaro Uchikoshi commented on the possibility to IGN, who seemed to show some interest in Wii U:
“If it’s possible, I would like to do something on a home console, especially for VLR. But for 999, that would be hard, just because the core of the game is that dual screen. I think that would be hard to do on a console. I just realized, though, that it might be possible on the Wii U.”
Uchikoshi went on to talk about Virtue’s Last Reward’s sequel, which has been in development for some time. Uchikoshi hopes to share something soon with fans, he said:
“The sequel is in my head at the moment. I hope to be able to announce something in the near future, and I hope that fans are looking forward to it. One of the biggest things pushing that is the fact that I was invited to GDC to speak, and the award there. IGN also gave VLR the ‘Best Story’ award. Thank you for that, first of all. But all these things are what’s propelling it. Players are expecting a sequel. Spike Chunsoft as a company, they feel like they need to answer those requests. So I do hope I can announce something soon and I hope people are looking forward to it. As far as the platform, that’s still undecided.”
Also of interest, Uchikoshi talked about the comparisons between working with the 3DS and DS:
“I think anyone developing for the 3DS would probably feel the same, but there were lots of challenges behind creating for the 3DS. Just making it 3D – sometimes the depth is too much, or it’s not enough. Making those kinds of adjustments was one of the challenges we faced. As far as similarities, the dual screen is the same, but I think there are more differences when it comes to working in 2D versus 3D. That was the main focus, overcoming the challenge of 3D.”

Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D does require two game cards for co-op
Posted on 12 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in 3DS, News | 0 comments

As expected, the 3DS port of Donkey Kong Country Returns (named the with “3D” moniker tagged onto the end) will require the use of two separate game cards to play co-operatively. This isn’t a shock by any stretch of the imagination, as transferring more or less the entire game (as you play) to another play via the 3DS’ wireless capabilities would be both very difficult to do, and incredibly time consuming while playing.
