Iizuka on why Sonic Lost World 3DS is a 3D game instead of a side-scroller
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 0 comments
For a number of years, all of Sonic’s handheld outings were comprised of side-scrolling gameplay. This is changing with Sonic Lost World, which is the first 3D Sonic title on a Nintendo portable.
Sonic Team boss Takashi Iizuka explained ton ONM that a side-scroller “didn’t make sense” because Sonic Lost World’s main idea is a cylindrical world. Because of the 3DS’ added power, 3D worlds are now more possible than before.
“In Colours and Generations the focus was a side-scrolling game. If you look at Lost World, the main concept is a cylindrical world, so it didn’t make sense to do a side view. The 3DS’s extra power makes it the sort of place 3D can be used really well.”
“Even though it’s power powerful than a DS, it still has its limits. It wasn’t easy to get the same levels, but we kept cutting things back until we could get it so that if you looked at it – in a trailer, say – you couldn’t tell which was which. We tried to get the same feel for Wii U and 3DS.”
Scribblenauts Unmasked won’t have Nintendo characters
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 1 Comment
Last year, 5th Cell included Nintendo characters and items in Scribblenauts Unlimited. Players could add characters such as Mario and Link to their game, as well as objects like the Super Mushroom and ocarina.
Scribblenauts Unmasked, unfortunately, won’t allow for similar functionality. According to senior producer Caleb Arseneaux, the game lacks Nintendo characters. Nintendo items likely won’t be included either.
Arseneaux said:
“No Nintendo characters made it in this version, mostly because we had so much work to do in order to get over 2,000 objects from the DC Universe into the game!”
