Shin’en has almost completed development on Jett Rocket: Super Surf. The 3DS eShop game is expected to arrive “early this year”, according to Shin’en.

On YouTube, the studio wrote:

“Jett Rocket 3DS is nearly completed and? will be released early this year.”

Despite being confirmed quite awhile ago, Jett Rocket: Super Surf remains an enigma. Shin’en hasn’t outlined how the game will play, nor has it released any official media. Hopefully that’ll be changing soon!

On Twitter, one fan messaged Platinum Games’ Hideki Kamiya regarding an eShop release of the original Bayonetta. Kamiya responded by saying that such a decision would be up to SEGA/Nintendo.

Some Nintendo fans may not have had the chance to play the original Bayonetta, so bringing the first title to the eShop could be a smart move.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.

Aliens: Colonial Marines developer Gearbox Software received an offer to make a Call of Duty title. The studio decided against going through with it, however.

Pitchford said that making a Call of Duty “wouldn’t move us forward”, nor would there be a “significant challenge that would be gratifying to overcome.”

A translated portion of Pitchford’s German KGN interview reads:

“I don’t think there’s anything to accomplish there. I think if I was only in it for the money I would’ve done that.[…] I think to do ‘Call of Duty’ right you need to do what needs to be done and there are a lot of people who can do that. For us it wouldn’t add to our credibility, it wouldn’t move us forward. There would be no significant challenge that would be gratifying to overcome.”

3DS piracy has started to become a hot topic as of late. With rumors circulating that hackers are coming to close to breaking the system open, such a result could impact the market significantly.

Piracy was a monstrous problem on the DS. It eventually became so troublesome that publishers were hesitant to release games for the portable, and would sometimes pass on titles completely – like original IP.

DreamRift co-founder Peter Ong discussed the negative impacts of DS piracy on both his studio and publishers’ mindsets while speaking with Gamasutra:

Some may be down on recent sales for Nintendo, but it isn’t all bad for the Big N. The company’s stock saw the biggest increase in nearly four months once news came in that the Wii U has generated more revenue in the US than the Wii at the same point in its lifecycle.

Bloomberg reports a rise in stock to 5.6% to close at 9,070 yen. That’s actually Nintendo’s biggest gain since mid-September.

A few Mutant Mudds Deluxe details are included in this month’s issue of Nintendo Force.

Twenty new levels will be included in the downloadable Wii U game, as well as a new power-up and enemies. “Ghostified” versions of old enemies are present in these areas in addition to brand new ghost creatures. To take them down, Max will need to take advantage of the temporary “Ghost Shot” power-up – another brand new addition.

The new levels can be entered through a door in the hub world. As players complete the twenty original levels, brand new stages will be unlocked.

Developer Renegade Kid is currently mulling over the possibility of Miiverse support. If the studio heads in this direction, players will be able to leave comments to assist other struggling gamers.
