Interview with Shin’en
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, Features, Wii | 9 Comments
You may not be aware of the fact that Shin’en has created games exclusively for Nintendo platforms since the company started in 1999. They’ve worked on titles for the Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, DS, and most recently WiiWare. Art of Balance was released on the Wii Shop Channel just a few weeks ago, but the company is continuing to work on other downloadable titles for the service. One such project is Jett Rocket, which looks very promising. Shin’en CEO/Jett Rocket director Manfred Linzner was able to answer a few questions about the game for us, as well as a few other things about Shin’en in a recent interview.
Nintendo Everything: In a few sentences, can you please describe the style of gameplay in Jett Rocket?
Manfred Linzner: “3D Jump’n’Run” desribes JR’s gameplay best. You know, free exploration, no invisible walls, free camera control. You have a great amount of moves and you can interact with many vehicles and machines. One of the coolest things JR can do is to fly to higher grounds with his Jet Pack.

The Conduit 2 basically confirmed, probably will be shown off at E3
Posted on 14 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in News, Wii | 6 Comments
The following info comes from an interview with Eric Nofsinger, who was asked about the poster with a “2” on it we posted about earlier:
“We’re very excited about it, the first one was great, but this is something much better.”
If that’s not confirmation, I don’t know what is!
Wii version of the Grinder no longer in development?
Posted on 14 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in News, Wii | 4 Comments
Just so everyone knows, this is pure speculation as of now, but you have to admit it’s pretty suspicious when I developer won’t even comment on whether a game is still in development or not. The following comes from a Kotaku article…
What’s less assuring is the fate of the Wii game. Dolan declined to comment on the status of that version, even when I pressed him to clarify whether it is or isn’t still in development. He stuck to discussing the version we could play at GDC, saying it was High Voltage’s best bet to expand into developing for next-gen consoles.
I don’t know… Something just feels very off about The Grinder these days!
