Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 4 Comments
– Donkey Kong can climb grassy textured surfaces
– Do this by holding B on the Wiimote
– DK can go vertical, climb across rock surfaces like monkey bars
– Sunset Shores level demoed
– This level features the “silhouette” visual effect seen in the E3 trailer
– Hidden goodies in the level, discover them by paying attention to the background
– Sunset Shores has staggered rock formations moving in perspective, at one point they converge to make a giant banana, if you notice it and stop you’ll receive banana coins
– Use banana coins on extras outside of the level
– Can also get coins when there is a sunset with a foreground cavern
– Another level: Stormy Shore
– Need to leap across platforms in the ocean, waves moving about
– Crazy Cart mine cart level
– Jumping will pull the cart up with you
– Cart can leap off its rails and skid along dirt paths before going back on track
– Somewhat of a dynamic camera in this level, DK cart will roll close to the camera for a tight shot (makes thing more challenging since your viewpoint isn’t as large)
– Another level: Button Bash
– This level has a big network of barrels to blast out of
– Need to time some barrel blasts to hit big button switches that affects the level
– At the end you’ll blast into the mouth of a gigantic monkey totem poll in the distance
– Need to time this blast when his mouth is open
– Another level: Damp Dungeon
– Need to navigate platforms rotating on giant water-powered mills
– Raise platforms by using DK’s blowing ability
– Push down on the analog stick and shake the Wiimote to accomplish this
– Blow to power the windmill which will bring a platform up
– Another level: Temple Topple
– Hop on the back of Rambi and rampage through the level
– Rambi can go through practically anything
– He can smash through walls, romp over spikes that would bring down DK if he got too close
– Only fire can hurt Rambi
– Fire hoops all over the level
– Leap through the fire hoops
– Bonus bananas, KONG letters, puzzle pieces, 1-up red balloons in the fire hoops
– 3D island for the game’s overworld
– Players can explore the overworld
– Each segment on the island is an open world with its own collection of levels
– Most paths from one level to the other were open in the demo
– There was one locked path that has a chain and padlock over the road
– Most likely secrets to unlock paths between levels
– Music similar to the SNES game
– Has an updated, upbeat jazzy flair
– Aquatic Ambiance not in the latest demo, but it could still be in the game
Producer claims that Sonic Colors “is one of the best games ever”
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 4 Comments
Just sayin’…
–
“This is a similar title to Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, but the similarity comes from the concept – keeping the tempo very fluid. A similar concept applies here. Is it the best since then? We always strive to make the best Sonic game yet. It’s at least on a par with Sonic Adventure Battle 2, and I’m confident it is one of the best Sonic games ever.” – Sonic Colors’ Producer Takashi Iizuka
Hmm… I admit that Sonic Colors looks like it has a lot of promise, but I don’t know that I’d go so far as to say it could be one of the best Sonic games ever. I mean, you’re looking at going against classics like Sonic 2 and Sonic 3; those games aren’t easy to live up to!
On the other hand, he also said Sonic Adventure 2 Battle was a very fluid game, so we know how much he knows!
I kid, I kid…
