First Color Commando screenshots, new details
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DSiWare, News, Podcast Stories | 0 comments
Color Commando is the next title from Goodbye Galaxy Games. We heard about the project briefly around a week ago. Since then, first screenshots and new details have surfaced. Look for the updated content below.
– New puzzle platformer
– Hunt for treasure
– Evil color monsters block your path
– Pick up color blobs and try to outsmart the monsters
– Can use a paint blob to paint a big paint-spot on the world
– If an monster of the same color comes into contact with the paint-spot, the monster will dissolve into the spot
– When this happens the monster cannot harm the player
– The monster also cannot follow normal physic laws anymore
– Ex: if you put a paint spot over a wall, the monster will be able to walk through it
– Starts out easy, but players will eventually be surrounded by many different types of color monsters in all different colors
– 5 worlds
– 4 normal levels each
– 1 star level each
– Unlock the star level by getting all the treasure in the other 4 levels
– Cost: likely 200 points
– 1.5 – 2 hours of gameplay
Gaijin Games explains why Charles Martinet is in Runner 2
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Charles Martinet, the voice of Mario, plays a role in Runner 2. That’s great and all, but why did developer Gaijin Games decide to bring him on board?
Founder Alex Neuse explained:
“We wanted to get Charles because obviously he’s recognizable. We like him, he’s funny, and silly, and great, and awesome. We wanted to have a whimsical character voice that’s reminiscent of old cartoons. You remember those old Looney Tunes when they would do ‘the car of the future!’ …I think that Mike [Roush, Gaijin Games co-founder] and I were both really excited about it, because our games have been on Nintendo platforms and it kind of felt like … it’s a home, the Nintendo stuff, and he’s part of that home, even though he was living in another room until now.”
Martinet plays himself in the game, rather than another character. Neuse talked about this decision:
“We wanted him to be ‘Charles Martinet’ and not just some no-name narrator for a few reasons. Primarily, because we loved Seaman. Do you remember when Leonard Nimoy introduced Seaman? I liked Seaman a lot and I thought the whole game was fun, but I thought that was almost the funnest part of the game. It was so out there.”
Martinet’s work pertains to narration of cut-scenes, interstitial videos, and fake product placements that appear during the beginning of Runner 2. Some of the ads were born out of input from Martinet himself. You can watch one of the ads – titled “Burger Mouth – in the video above.
