New 3D images: MadWorld
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Features, Wii | 6 Comments
Our 3D images section took a hiatus for a couple of months, but now it’s back with a bang. And what game could possibly be reviving this feature? We choose the Wii title MadWorld, which has been out for about a month now. The best aspect of converting screenshots of the game into 3D is that since the the visuals are already in black and white, the color doesn’t take a big hit during the transition.

Nintendo not limiting WiiWare developers

“They gave us the tools we needed and let us run with it. There’s no creative input from Nintendo, only technical input where the game must meet certain standards to ensure it doesn’t brick people’s Wiis. It’s just a godsend for developers who don’t want their ideas compromised. Plus, if the game doesn’t sell well, we can generally shrug it off and begin work on the next one.” – Medaverse lead designer Jesse Lowther
This is really great news to hear. Naturally, you would want ideas to flourish on WiiWare, so by not interfering with the creative process, developers can bring some truly unique content to the service.
